Emerging markets need trillions of dollars to fund infrastructure and economic development, but those needs exceed the capacity of governments, institutions and philanthropies. And institutional investors are often reluctant to take on the risks directly.    

That's where blended finance comes in.  

It combines capital from the public and private sectors to meet each group’s needs and risk-return objectives, while also helping to fill the emerging market financing gap.  

In this episode, we explain how the model works and why credit ratings matter here.
