In this video playlist, participants discuss the vital role of development finance in reaching markets and sectors where public finance cannot. They highlight how declining fiscal budgets, increasing constraints, and reduced ODA are making new partnerships more essential than ever. Participants also discuss the direct impact development finance institutions are having in frontier markets, and the innovative approaches development finance can take. All emphasised how the impact of development finance cannot be understated, and success stories need to be told so DFIs can understand the transformative role they have played.
Dineo Mathlako (Deputy High Commissioner, South African High Commission), Mukwandi Chibesakunda (CEO, Zambia National Commercial Bank), Hans Peter Lankes (Managing Director & Deputy Chief Executive, ODI Global), and Mark Malloch-Brown (Emeritus Professor, London School of Economics and Political Science) discuss these vital topics.
