IFC Treasury & Mobilization reposted this
On October 21, I had the honor of speaking at the High-level Panel on Project Preparation, focusing on addressing #FX risk in infrastructure development. This session, part of the Global Infrastructure Facility's Advisory Council Meeting, brought together key stakeholders—governments, MDBs/DFIs, developers, and financiers—to discuss the crucial role of project structuring in developing bankable projects. This is essential for mobilizing private capital and enabling FX risk solutions. The session highlighted the need for coordination among stakeholders and the vital role of GIF. I emphasized the key role of MDBs in the long-term development of emerging markets, from capacity building to local market development and long-term local financing solutions. I also shared how IFC Treasury Client Solutions provides clients with innovative fixed-income solutions, including structured finance, local currency financing, risk management products, and debt capital markets access. Kudos to Astrid Manroth and João Reye Sabino for organizing such a fantastic event. I’m excited about the future of resilient and sustainable infrastructure. Together, we’re paving the way for innovative solutions and impactful investments! #InfrastructureDevelopment #FXRiskManagement #PrivateCapital #GIF #G20 #SustainableDevelopment #EMDEs #LocalCurrencyFinancing #IFC #TreasuryClientSolutions
