Building Bridges: National Developpement Banks in the Global Financial Architecture
Conferences Webinars - By : Sarah BENDAHOU / Claire ESCHALIER
The Finance in Common Summit in September was an opportunity to focus more specifically on the role of national public financial institutions in the new global financial architecture, which is currently being thoroughly discussed. National public financial institutions represent the largest amount of public development finance and account for 12% of global (public and private) investments. They will have an important role to play in locally financing the transition and contributing to shape demand, as infrastructure investors, private finance mobilisers and investment innovators. Additionally, they can influence local market practice and disseminate alignment practices.
