Innovative equity pathways

How are development banks redefining equity investment to drive growth, resilience and sustainability in emerging markets? The discussion will focus on innovative equity structures, highlighting their potential to unlock inclusive growth and mobilise private capital. Key topics will include mobilisation of risk capital in emerging markets: structural bottlenecks and breakthroughs, the use of blended public-private capital to de-risk investments, and the integration of environmental, social and governance priorities. The panel will also examine regional and sectoral opportunities – such as renewable energy and digital infrastructure – where equity can catalyse sustainable development. Additional themes will include partnerships between development banks and private investors, the role of technology in expanding access to equity and the importance of policy frameworks that enable equity investment
