Description
As the world faces a convergence of crises, MDBs’ resources are in greater demand than ever. Calls to reform the international financial architecture underscore the urgency. MDBs not only need additional resources, but they also need to use these resources more effectively. This session sets out the role of the MDBs in mobilising private capital in developing countries, by outlining their current role in the development finance architecture. It will highlight the importance of the MDB reform agenda – and how to ensure that pathways to deliver reform live up to their potential and mobilise private finance at scale. It will also dive into how MDBs can more effectively use their balance sheets to mobilise more private finance.
