Development financing is critical for emerging market transactions, facilitating deals which otherwise may not be able to go ahead. This session brings together leaders working in development finance to consider:

  • How can DFIs partner with ECAs and other institutions to catalyse important transactions?
  • What role does blended finance play in emerging market transactions?
  • Specific examples of transactions that would not have happened without DFI involvement
