Description
Lack of data is a key barrier that prevents private capital from flowing to emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). The session will focus on the challenges and opportunities of demystifying emerging markets through data to help investors better price risk and make data a lever of private investment. It will focus on the specific data needs of the private sector for different instruments and via different mobilisation channels. The discussion will also zoom in on potential pathways ahead in ensuring that these needs are met – especially by outlining the roles that different market players can play. Finally, it will highlight the role that transparency can play in making lending decisions and managing exposure risks, thereby attracting private investors, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
