Theme: Financing for Sustainable Growth: The Role of Development Finance
20-21 November 2024
Venue: UCT Graduate School of Business and Marriott Hotel, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
The Chartered Institute of Development Finance, Development Finance Centre (UCT GSB) and the Africagrowth Institute, in partnership with major development finance institutions, other financial institutions, academic institutions and governments, is organising a 2-day conference to discuss issues around sustainable finance practices and research.
As development finance and other financial institutions in developing countries struggle to meet borrowing and lending demands, the situation provides an opportunity for commercial and investment banks to join forces with DFIs to provide blended and other innovative financial tools to address the wider needs of borrowers and lenders around the world. This year’s conference will examine the role that research and innovation play in promoting and sustaining economic growth in developing countries.
The conference will include sessions for Development Finance Institutions and other financial institutions to discuss the important sustainable finance issues. In addition, it will offer the opportunity for academics and postgraduate students to discuss their research work in the development finance field.
