SOCAP17 - Moving from Aid to Investment: How the Development Community is Pivoting
Channel: SOCAP Global
Date: 12/10/2017

Aid agencies are becoming increasingly important providers of catalytic and risk-taking capital. This panel will discuss the changing role of USAID, outline recent examples of work it has done with the investment community to mobilize private capital in emerging markets (e.g. structuring blended finance instruments, deploying innovative credit guarantees, developing currency risk mitigation products), and outline how it plans to expand this work and transform itself into a dynamic center of financial innovation.
