Abstract: Finance is fundamental to supporting sustainable development. It drives investment and jobs, which is the way most people escape poverty. Countries in the developing world face significant financing needs as they seek to modernize their economies, hence the importance of mobilizing all forms of finance (domestic, international, public and private) and ensuring they are put to their most effective use.
