Billions to Trillions is (Still) Dead. What Next?
Charles Kenny
April 28, 2022
The idea that shavings of public gold sprinkled like fairy dust on private investment projects would bring to life a giant array of infrastructure and services which in turn would gift us wondrous progress in development hasn’t worked out. It is time to drop the fantasy and focus instead on the test...

Will Social Bonds Help Answer Education Financing Needs, or Will Mounting Debt Get in the Way?
Biniam Bedasso
and
Jack Rossiter
April 20, 2022
In 2021, Ghana announced a plan to issue sovereign bonds of up to $2 billion, with proceeds due partially to fund a free secondary school program. Just months later, Ghana’s rising debt burden means this is no longer feasible. Can developing countries tap the social bond market in order to fund publ...

A Plan to Address the COVID-19 Debt Crises in Poor Countries and Build a Better Sovereign Debt System
Clemence Landers
December 03, 2020

Debt Relief for Poor Countries: Three Ideas Whose Time Has Come
Nancy Lee
October 05, 2020
There are three critical and urgent issues that should rise to the top of the agenda for the upcoming meetings of the G20 and the IMF and World Bank. IMF shareholders should seize the moment to give the Fund a mandate to develop feasible but fit-for-purpose proposals in these areas.

Charles Kenny et al.
July 07, 2020
Philippe Le Houerou, the Chief Executive of the IFC has announced his intention to step down in September. His legacy will include a significant effort to focus the work of the corporation on development impact and the world’s poorest countries. Le Houerou has had some success. But a look ...

Mobilization: Much Less than Meets the Eye
Charles Kenny
July 06, 2020
Imagine the young George Washington said, “I cannot tell a lie. I did not cut down the cherry tree,” then added sotto voce, “’twas the hatchet that did it.” Multilateral development banks (MDBs) and development finance institutions are dissembling in the other direction when it comes to their impact...

A New Measure of Finance for International Development
Ian Mitchell et al.
April 09, 2020

BRIEFS
The Stretch Fund
Nancy Lee
and
Dan Preston
December 04, 2019
When the world adopted the SDGs, policymakers knew that aid alone would never meet the financing needs. They embraced the “billions to trillions” vision, believing that an abundance of commercially viable SDG-related investments was ready and waiting for trillions in profitable private i...
