Book Description
Access to sustainable finance is essential if businesses are to invest and grow. Businesses need finance for both working capital and investment purposes. This paper considers the range of finance options available to businesses of different sizes, and the extent to which market failures may constrain access to finance for some businesses. The impact of the financial crisis on the availability of finance, and whether the current challenges are transitional or structural, is also examined. The paper also considers whether there are risks to the future provision of finance that should be addressed now, so that an appropriate range of business finance is available for viable businesses as the economy recovers. Views are sought to help inform the Government's assessment of, and response to, this important challenge.

Green Finance Strategies for Post-COVID-19 Economic Recovery in Southeast Asia
Author: Asian Development Bank
Publisher: Asian Development Bank
ISBN: 9292623818
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has seen governments across developing Asia move significant amounts of capital into relief efforts that have saved countless lives and livelihoods. But emerging economic recovery packages must not upset the sensitive balance between economic growth and the region’s natural capital. Many global thinkers are advocating the critical role of green infrastructure in supporting economic growth and livelihoods, while safeguarding the Paris Agreement targets. This publication examines green and innovative finance mechanisms that can be incorporated into government recovery strategies to incentivize green infrastructure investment. These mechanisms can play a key role in catalyzing much-needed funds from private capital for a green and sustainable regional recovery.

Finance in Africa for Green, Smart and Inclusive Private Sector Development
Mastering the Risky Business of Public-Private Partnerships in Infrastructure
Author: Manal Fouad
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1513576569
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 61
Book Description
Investment in infrastructure can be a driving force of the economic recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of shrinking fiscal space. Public-private partnerships (PPP) bring a promise of efficiency when carefully designed and managed, to avoid creating unnecessary fiscal risks. But fiscal illusions prevent an understanding the sources of fiscal risks, which arise in all infrastructure projects, and that in PPPs present specific characteristics that need to be addressed. PPP contracts are also affected by implicit fiscal risks when they are poorly designed, particularly when a government signs a PPP contract for a project with no financial sustainability. This paper reviews the advantages and inconveniences of PPPs, discusses the fiscal illusions affecting them, identifies a diversity of fiscal risks, and presents the essentials of PPP fiscal risk management.

Credit Growth and Economic Recovery in Europe After the Global Financial Crisis
Author: Sergei Antoshin
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1484329619
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 54
Book Description
This paper reviews the empirical relationships between credit growth, economic recovery, and bank profitability in Europe after the global financial crisis (GFC). We find that the post-GFC recoveries in Europe have been weaker than previous recoveries, with the “double-dip” recessions in 2011–12 in many countries and the worldwide reach of the GFC explaining the underperformance. Bank lending has been subdued as well, but this appears to have only held back the recovery relatively moderately. A 10 percent increase in bank credit to the private sector is associated with a rise of 0.6–1 percent in real GDP and 2–21⁄2 percent in real private investment. These relationships have not changed significantly during and after the GFC. Loan quality, customer deposits, bank equity price index, and bank capital appear to be closely linked to bank lending. As expected, bank profitability is positively and significantly influenced by credit growth, but this relationship has weakened after the GFC.

What Role Does the Private Sector Have in Supporting Disaster Recovery, and what Challenges Does it Face in Doing So?
Author: Anita Chandra
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Disaster relief
Languages : en
Pages : 23
Book Description
"The changing scope and scale of disasters, both natural and technological, have altered the ways in which disaster management and financing are addressed and the roles of private-sector organizations specifically. Businesses and nonprofit organizations are increasingly central to the process, offering critical support in immediate disaster response but also contributing necessary redevelopment funding that supports community recovery. Although these new expectations position the private sector as a key leader in community resilience, these responsibilities have not been fully met with established guidance or clear metrics for how and when these organizations should participate in disaster recovery and financing. This perspective examines key issues confronting the private sector in disaster recovery financing, what roles private-sector entities have played, and where there has been successful integration or leadership of these organizations. The perspective also briefly explores challenges that the private sector faces, with particular attention to issues of information use and application, coordination in response and recovery, and timing of funding. Given continued data gaps in this field, the authors offer opportunities for research and policy analysis"--Back cover.
