NBS-PRI-ECGI Public Lecture Series - Blended Finance: Scaling Sustainable Investing in Emerging and Developing Economies
Mobilising private capital at scale is critical to financing sustainable development, particularly in emerging and developing economies (EMDEs), where it is needed most. This lecture explores the barriers and opportunities to scaling sustainable investment, including the role of risk perceptions and market frictions. It then looks at how blended finance can be designed to deploy catalytic capital more effectively and crowd in private investment.
We look forward to welcoming you to this engaging and thought-provoking event.

The series provides monthly in-person or online public lectures. Each lecture will feature a leading academic to present cutting-edge research of a specific topic, and an industry expert to moderate the session, sharing insights from the field and also tailoring audience questions in a way to better enable bridging the gap between research and practice.
