1 Input to UNECE Regional Consultation on Financing for Development – Panel 2: Unlocking private resources for sustainable development Swiss Sustainable Finance Sabine Döbeli, 23 March 2015

2 Sabine Döbeli23 March 2015 Private capital for development – on the rise 2 Substantial growth of impact investing in Europe (Eurosif, 2014) Yet, overall volume limited Increasing interest from private and institutional investors

3 Sabine Döbeli23 March 2015 Mindset Development investments are often seen as charitable acts with non-competitive returns Pension fund boards often hesitate to enter new ground Liquidity Even large long-term investors need liquidity Solvency II as barrier for further development investments by insurance companies Size of investments Large public private partnerships often with large minimum investments (i.e. 1 B USD minimum investment for IFC syndicated loans) Microfinance and other development investments: Difficulty to absorb large investments Today‘s attribution to alternative asset class Investors attribute development investments to alternative asset class – they compete with hedge funds, private equity and commodity investments for limited share of portfolio Risk/return profile often compared with non-comparable investments Challenges for deployment of private capital for development 3

4 Sabine Döbeli23 March 2015 Public investors (i.e. public pension funds): act as role models Integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects into all investment categories Increase share of portfolio for specific development investments Financial intermediaries: find new ways to structure development investments (reasonable minimum sizes, enough liquidity) Government agencies: Support through public private partnerships De-risking through first-loss tranches held by public sector Provision of technical assistance to improve risk/return profile Industry associations: increase awareness and efficiency Stir political dialogue with relevant actors Provide regular market data and establish clear definitions Need for action to improve access to private capital 4
