From the lingering effects of the pandemic to inflation and global energy and food challenges, Africa’s financial sector is navigating difficult economic times. But with strong policies, and by tapping new technology and strategies, these challenges can be turned into opportunities. In this short video, Aliou Maiga, IFC’s Director for the Financial Institutions Group (FIG) in Africa, highlights how collaboration among policymakers, regulators, and the private sector can build a more resilient financial sector on the continent. This conversation will take center stage at the upcoming Africa Financial Industry Summit in Morocco. #AFIS2024. http://wrld.bg/bru350TMr3t IFC - International Finance Corporation , @IFC Financial Institutions

There is an annual $200 billion gap in biodiversity finance, and most of it will have to come from the private sector. How do we mobilize private capital to invest in nature finance at scale? From our experience with #greenfinance and #bluefinance, we know that investors need clear, transparent rules of the road to enter new markets. IFC's first-to-market Biodiversity Finance Reference Guide aimed to help investors and companies identify opportunities to shift to production practices that address the key drivers of biodiversity loss, advance conservation and restoration, and integrate nature-based solutions across sectors. And today, IFC - International Finance Corporation in collaboration with BNP Paribas, Finance for Biodiversity Foundation, Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking, Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), and the Wildlife Conservation Society launched a supplement to the Guide that lays out impact reporting metrics for each eligible activity. The supplement aims to address the growing demand from the market for more comprehensive guidance on impact reporting for biodiversity and nature finance activities, helping markets to efficiently transition to nature-smart approaches and to attracting private capital at scale. https://lnkd.in/e-Gzz9_e

The vast steppes of #Mongolia are home to nomadic herders whose goats are world-famous for their long fibers. But maintaining the fragile ecosystem of the steppe is a challenge because climate change has brought declining rainfall and extreme weather events like cold, droughts and floods. In Ulaanbaatar, the densely-populated capital, air pollution is a growing threat. Khan Bank took action to confront climate change. It issued the country’s first Green Bond with IFC - International Finance Corporation support. IFC invested $15 million as part of a $60 million effort to fund green energy projects. This landmark investment aims to help reduce Mongolia’s greenhouse gas emissions by 22.7% by 2030. The impact of this green bond is already being felt across industries—especially in Mongolia's cashmere sector, a cornerstone of the country’s economy. The proceeds from the Green Bond are being repackaged as green loans for companies with climate-friendly business strategies, like Tumen Suljee, a fast-growing, family-owned cashmere manufacturer. It has already purchased energy-efficient equipment that cuts emissions and boosts productivity. Read more here: http://wrld.bg/WJ4f50TEE9R IFC Climate & Sustainability IFC Treasury & Mobilization

Multiple global challenges, from climate change to economic volatility, require mobilizing financing at scale. IFC is at the forefront of innovative efforts to create bankable projects, blend public and private capital, and mobilize partners in emerging markets and developing economies (#EMDEs) to alleviate poverty and ensure a livable planet. At #NYClimateWeek, Mohamed Gouled, IFC - International Finance Corporation's Vice President of Industries, wrapped up conversations on a range of topics, including supporting climate finance and driving investments in emerging markets. At the The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP) Leadership Council, he highlighted IFC’s contribution to the progress made on Mission 300 (M300), a key initiative launched by The World Bank Group President Ajay Banga and African Development Bank Group President Akinwumi Adesina at the 2024 Spring Meetings. This initiative aims to bring electricity and clean cooking to 300 million people in Africa by 2030. At the Sustainability Summit, led by the Danish government and focused on bridging climate investment gaps, Mohamed shared insights on how to better stimulate global efforts to mobilize capital. He emphasized that investing in the green transition in EMDEs is not only critical but also presents significant economic opportunities, driving growth and job creation. He stressed that addressing the bottlenecks in investing in EMDEs requires a multifaceted approach. This includes engaging in policy dialogue, utilizing risk-mitigation instruments, and providing technical assistance and capacity building. IFC remains committed to tackling these challenges and unlocking the potential of sustainable investments in emerging markets through strategic partnerships and innovative financing solutions. #SustainabilitySummitNYC #UNGA79 #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction
