We are excited to share that our Head of Business Development, Hassan Romani, was recently interviewed on Asharq News الشرق in Dubai to discuss the growing interest of #GCC investors in green and impact investments in emerging markets. During the interview, Hassan explains that GCC investors are not only actively funding major #greenfinance projects within the region, but are also expanding into emerging markets. This expansion is marked by a growing preference for #privatedebt as an attractive investment class. Additionally, there is a noticeable interest for impact investments, driven by promising financial and social returns in these markets. Climate impact investments, including both adaptation and mitigation efforts, are also garnering significant attention. Hassan emphasized the importance of understanding market dynamics to navigate the diverse investment profiles in emerging markets and achieve the right risk/reward balance. While measuring impact can be complex, firms with a long track record in impact investing possess the necessary tools to assure investors that their funds are being allocated as promised. Strategic partnerships with entities that have extensive market knowledge and a proven track record are crucial for investors looking to seize impact investment opportunities in these regions.
