Good discussion of blended finance at OECD PSD COP today. I and other speakers emphasized that the time for bespoke projects is past - now we need standard structures deployed at scale at fund/portfolio level. We should measure success in terms of impact and market development.

ALT A quote from Samantha Attridge, co-author of ODI's new report on 'Trillions or billions': "We need to shift private capital at scale to better support the needs of people and planet. Our new research shows how addressing regulatory and behavioural hurdles could double current investment of Europe's 35 largest pension funds and insurance companies in emerging markets to around $120 billion per year."

Great discussion @CGDev today on measuring and reporting on private capital mobilization. @aidtransparency proposals make good sense - hope to see MDBs and DFIs adopt them - and @OECD

Weak productivity growth is the main culprit behind the secular decline in global growth. Misallocation of resources across firms is an important driver of this weakness. Policy intervention & leveraging emerging technologies can help reverse this. imf.org/en/Blogs/Articles/20…
