European Investor Summit 2024: Mind the (transition financing) gap https://lnkd.in/eCtFWqKG According to the World Economic Forum, we are facing a massive financing gap for the transition to net zero by 2050. The global financial system has fallen short by an estimated $125 trillion. More worryingly, the problem has got worse rather than better over the last decade. In 2017, the UN calculated the financing gap for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals for emerging and developing nations at $2.5 trillion annually. That shortfall now stands at $4.2 trillion. Consequently, the funds industry and private funds especially could and should play a key role in closing the financing gap. This was one of the subjects discussed at the European Investor Summit held by Societe Generale Securities Services - SGSS at its Paris headquarters last month.

A heartfelt thank you to SPHERE Swiss Financial Arena for organizing the Sustainable Solutions Week conference bringing key actors of the financial sector in Geneva. One key argument from the discussions that resonated deeply with me: To unlock direct impact and significant returns on invested capital, it is essential to build financial bridges enabling investments to flow from the Global North to the Global South. This is where the need for capital is greatest and where the potential for growth and impact is most profound. This is also an argument made by dear Ndidi, Dr Nnoli-Edozien years ago 🤗 As professionals in asset management, it is our responsibility to facilitate these financial flows, recognizing the immense opportunities they present for both sustainable development and robust returns. #SustainableInvesting #ImpactInvestment #GlobalGrowth #AssetManagement #FinancialBridges
