Africa: African Development Bank Convenes African and Asian Experts to Discuss Mobilising Development Finance At Scale
Economists and policy experts from across Africa and Asia gathered recently at a convening organized by the African Development Bank Group and the Korea Institute for International Economic Policy (KIEP). The meeting centered on one pressing question: how can Africa realistically mobilize development financing at scale when the global economy is becoming more fragmented by the day.
The partnership between the African Development Bank Group and KIEP brought together voices from two regions that understand, from different vantage points, what it takes to build economies under pressure. The conversation was timely, given the shifting dynamics in global trade, aid, and investment flows that are reshaping how developing nations access capital.
The details of what was discussed and agreed upon have not yet been made public, but the fact that African and Asian experts are in the same room working through these challenges together is itself significant. Watch this space for more as outcomes from the convening emerge.
