The role of the private sector in climate finance by Outreach_Live

"One of the big objectives of the Clean Technology
Fund specifically has been to build the capacity of
private sector financial institutions to make investments
in low carbon technology. That’s a very sensible and
very strategic thing to be doing, because it’s those
local financial institutions that are arguably best
placed to understand where the smaller transactions
are and make those investments…The challenge
though is that, that set of investments is covered by
confidentiality restrictions for business confidentiality
reasons. That makes it very difficult to know exactly
what that financial institution in that developing
country is actually investing in. That in turn makes
it difficult to learn about what impact that investment
stream is having...So at this week’s trust fund committee
meeting we did discuss the possibility of at least
reporting in qualitative terms about the kinds of things
in the pipeline, as a way at least to begin to get some
information out into the public domain; that’s progress."
