Emerging markets are expected to account for much of the world’s future economic growth, but meeting their infrastructure, climate and development needs will require trillions of dollars in new investment. As governments, development banks and private investors work to close that financing gap, sustainable investment strategies are evolving beyond traditional ESG approaches. Blended finance structures are becoming more sophisticated, capital allocators are shifting toward higher-impact sectors and advances in artificial intelligence, digital finance and other technologies are creating new opportunities to identify, scale up and monitor investments. On this episode of the Sustainability Currents podcast, Bloomberg Intelligence’s Chris Ratti speaks with Ron Margalit, managing director at Lonomics, about the future of sustainable investing in EMs. They discuss the evolution of blended finance, where institutional investors are deploying capital, how early-stage sustainable businesses are attracting investment and the technologies reshaping both risk assessment and impact measurement.
