DFIs have a vital role to play in project financings across the Americas, supporting investment into challenging sectors. This session gathers DFI leaders to investigate their priorities: We consider specific projects that benefited from DFI support, asking our DFI leaders how they brought the projects to close

  • How are DFIs helping to mobilize private capital into development projects, and how are they participating in blended finance, risk participation, and the capital markets?
  • Could DFIs be doing more to support governments when it comes to bringing bankable projects to market?
  • How can ECAs, DFIs, and institutional investors work together to bring more projects to the market?
