At COP29 in Azerbaijan, major multilateral development banks pledged to raise $120 billion annually in climate finance for developing nations by 2030, a significant increase from previous years. This effort aims to support poorer countries in reducing emissions and adapting to climate impacts, although it falls short of the trillions needed. MDBs emphasize that their ability to scale up finance relies on increased contributions from their country shareholders and facilitating private sector investment.
Violence and crime in Latin America and the Caribbean consume nearly 3.5% of the region's economic output, according to a report by the Inter-American Development Bank. This significant financial drain limits resources that could otherwise support education and aid vulnerable populations.
The European Central Bank (ECB) has blocked efforts by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to secure special drawing rights (SDRs) from Eurozone nations for climate finance, citing legal incompatibilities. Despite support from France and Italy, Germany opposes reallocating SDRs, which the ECB views as a risk to financial stability. Economists suggest that direct allocation of SDRs to multilateral development banks could be a solution, but achieving the necessary consensus within the IMF remains challenging.
Gabriel Yorio has been appointed as the vice president for finance and administration at the Inter-American Development Bank, following his recent departure from Mexico’s finance ministry. The decision was made by the bank’s board, although it has not yet been publicly announced.
Colombia has launched a $40-billion energy transition plan aimed at reducing reliance on fossil fuels while promoting sustainable tourism and nature restoration. The initiative includes significant investments in ecotourism, sustainable agriculture, and ecosystem conservation, with a focus on mobilizing both public and private financing. As the country prepares to host the COP16 summit, it seeks to establish a donor roundtable to support its ambitious green goals amidst challenges related to its coal industry and high debt levels.
