What strategies are emerging markets implementing to tackle debt sustainability and mobilize more private capital, and how are these policies shaping their economic resilience? Last week, IFC - International Finance Corporation and the Milken Institute hosted a workshop in Lagos, in collaboration with the Nigerian chapter of the IFC–Milken Institute Capital Markets Program Alumni, to discuss strategies that can help Nigeria enable and mobilize private investments to bridge its infrastructure gap in a sustainable manner. The workshop convened over 120 key stakeholders from government, financial institutions, and the private sector to engage in meaningful discussions on innovative financing solutions. The event benefitted from a fireside chat featuring insights from Amanda Muyunda from Zambia on their debt management strategies, along with Kenya's experience in financing infrastructure through PPPs as presented by Christine Ng'ang'a. All sessions were expertly moderated by the IFC–Milken Institute Capital Markets Program alumni based in Nigeria, including Kenneth Ohaeri, Uroro Obaji, 'Timi Agama FCMA CGMA ACIS MCSI PhD, Isi Ayede and Lukman Jimoh. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to these vital conversations, including representatives from the Securities and Exchange Commission, Nigeria, the Central Bank of Nigeria, DEBT MANAGEMENT OFFICE, NIGERIA and the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group). #capitalmarkets #nigeria #debt #sustainability #privatecapital #infrastructure #PPP #mobilization #sustainabledevelopment Mohammed Aliyu Tom Ceusters Frederic Wandey Elisabet Urrea Cuena Katerina Timina Valentine Robert IFC Africa
