There is growing international momentum recognising the role of blended finance - specifically guarantees and other risk mitigation instruments - in mobilising finance and investment in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). By improving the risk-return profile of clean energy projects, guarantees can help make projects bankable and attract private investment to EMDEs. Yet despite their potential, these instruments remain underutilised. Evidence on their effectiveness, limitations and implementation challenges is still limited, making it difficult for policymakers and financiers to fully harness their potential across diverse market contexts.
This session will bring together key experts from governments, guarantee providers and financial institutions to discuss untapped opportunities and challenges in using risk mitigation instruments to unlock clean energy finance and investment in EMDEs. The forthcoming OECD working paper on “Guarantees and other risk mitigation instruments for clean energy: Harnessing blended finance to scale investments in emerging markets and developing economies” will be launched and presented during this session.
