Boosting MDBs’ Role and Capacity in Development Finance

Center for Global Development
October 11, 2022

 

In July, the G20 published the report it had commissioned from an independent panel of experts to assess MDB capital adequacy. The report’s recommendations, if implemented, would support a major increase in collective MDB lending, likely reaching hundreds of billions of dollars over time. The report spells out how this expansion in lending can be achieved while maintaining strong MDB institutional ratings. This event–co-hosted by the Government of Indonesia, current chair of the G20, and CGD–will feature remarks by Indonesia’s Finance Minister Sri Mulyani and an examination of the report’s recommendations by key stakeholders: G20 shareholders, MDB managers, credit rating agencies, and private investors.
