Mobilising more private capital so emerging markets and developing economies can meet climate challenges and deliver the SDGs
A fantastic London Action Climate Week. The pinnacle for me was Friday's launch of the iBoxx®️LSF USD African Sovereigns Index, a partnership with the The Liquidity and Sustainability Facility (LSF) and S&P Dow Jones Indices supported by FCDO's MOBILIST Global and Prosper Africa. This index will improve transparency of African sovereign bond markets, supporting asset allocation to frontier economies where it is most needed. An important tool to mobilise the trillions needed for the #SDGs and #climate. Thank you LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) for hosting us.
