On the sidelines of the #IMFMeetings, @_TorontoCentre organized a Breakfast roundtable discussion on the theme: Bridging the Blended Finance Gap: What Role for supervisors and regulators?
The conversation focused on what policy makers, supervisors and other stakeholders can do to scale up blended finance especially for emerging markets and developing economies.
Governor @rwangombwajRW appreciated the role of #BlendedFinance in bridging the gap in #SDG financing, and also shared #Rwanda-s success with ERF 2 and the Sustainability Linked Bond, emphasizing the resulting lowered lending costs. He however warned against relaxing prudential requirements, stressing the need to safeguard #FinancialStability.

Thank you @KobeissiLetter.
Such numbers were thought unlikely not so long ago. The trends are being repeated elsewhere, in both advanced and developing countries. And the prospects for avoiding significant economic and financial damage are even more critically dependent on generating high, durable, more inclusive and sustainable growth.

.#Markets are now pricing in two 25-basis-point cuts by the #FederalReserve, having started the year much closer to seven cuts.
Notably, this significant repricing has occurred while the S&P has gained 9%, reflecting the power of the two drivers—one bottom-up and the other top-down—that we have discussed previously.
Also notable: More economists are now suggesting that the @ECB may cut more than the #Fed this year.
