A large and persistent financing gap means that EMDEs cannot come close to meeting the SDGs or addressing their climate finance needs without attracting much greater private-sector investment. For this reason, calls and recommendations for MDB reform by the G20 and others include greater use of instruments more effective at mobilising private capital. MOBILIST’s recently published Research Note explains that guarantees can outperform the average mobilisation ratios of instruments like loans by 5 to 6 times. https://lnkd.in/gQ2-yvRj For example, as illustrated below, The Blended Finance Taskforce found that guarantees can mobilise $1.5 of private capital for every dollar of MDB capital, compared to only 25 cents mobilised by loans. The note also draws on MOBILIST’s recent investment in the Green Guarantee Company, the first specialist guarantor for emerging market climate adaptation and mitigation projects. GGC is expected to realise even higher mobilisation rates of 10x by using guarantees to improve the credit ratings of emerging market assets to investment grade. https://lnkd.in/d9isspig

Review of Climate Budget and Recommendations for Climate Public Finance Management in Bangladesh The study focuses on the critical role of Green Public Financial Management (PFM) in aligning fiscal policies with environmental goals. Recognising the pressing need for climate action and substantial financing, the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) has outlined ambitious plans and policies. The government’s commitment to a unified approach across sectors, third-party monitoring of the Climate Change Trust Fund (CCTF), and proactive initiatives like the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) showcase a dedication to transparency and responsible climate finance utilisation. Despite acknowledging the need for international support, there exists a significant financing gap in climate-related expenditures. There are also challenges that include fluctuating utilisation rate of climate budget and concerns about the Annual Development Programme (ADP) allocation for meeting renewable energy targets. The study provides key recommendations for enhancing Green PFM in Bangladesh, emphasising a transition to a more comprehensive framework, capacity development, multi-faceted approaches to enhance budget utilisation, and the integration of private sector financing. The goal is to ensure financial accountability, promote sustainability, and maximise the impact of climate finance in addressing climate challenges.

This announcement for common principles between Multilateral Development Banks is an important step not only in terms of collaborations, but also in creating a pathway for a common approach. These principles somehow connect the concept of NET POSITIVE IMPACT to NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS. It may also lead to a deeper reflection on finding alternative funding models for them.
On this nature day at COP, and every day, the IDB is committed to supporting nature-positive finance, in line with the commitments we made in the MDB Joint Statement on Nature, People, and Planet at COP 26. Today, MDBs will release common principles for tracking nature positive finance. This IDB press release also includes a link at the end that summarizes IDB work in line with the statement’s pillars - walking the talk.
