Description
Regulatory barriers can create challenges and uncertainties that deter foreign investors. This session will focus on the regulatory barriers that hinder private sector finance from flowing to developing countries, including in pivotal sectors such as climate finance. It will build on and explore the effects – following the implementation of Basel III, Solvency II and other major regulations – on lending practices and cross-border investments from global private sector actors into emerging markets and developing countries, with particular attention on sustainability and climate-related regulations.
