Bouncing back from a challenging 2025: Where are the opportunities in development finance in 2026?

This session considers:

• How de-risking and robust ESG frameworks can create space for bankable projects amid delays with climate and infrastructure projects.
• The demand increase of finance with fiscal reform and social impact.
• How to win new mandates through structuring blended finance and digital/green transition projects in line with evolving DFI and private sector priorities
