Abstract:
A contribution to the ‘Compendium of Practice from a Global Community of Ministries of Finance and Leading Organizations: Economic analysis and modeling tools to assist Ministries of Finance in driving green and resilient transitions’. Topic: Addressing the climate policy questions facing Ministries of Finance: financing the green and resilient transition.
To achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), new infrastructure investment of over US$1 trillion per year is needed until 2040, and 70% of this finance is required for investments in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs).
Given the sizable fiscal constraints many EDMEs face, there has been an increased focus on how countries can allocate scarce public funds to effectively mobilize more private investment into infrastructure. Dedicated institutional frameworks with a broad mandate to coinvest are taking shape, as outlined by the example of Rwanda.
