Episode Synopsis

Keynote and discussion with Masood Ahmed, President of the Center for Global Development.

Major constraints to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) include limited financing, inadequate infrastructure, poor quality institutions, and social norms. In this talk, Masood Ahmed focuses on the financing challenges related to achieving the SDGs. He discusses the low levels of private investment that have thus far been mobilised, challenges related to domestic resource mobilisation, and debt sustainability issues. Against this backdrop, he examines the key issue of how development finance institutions and developing countries can make progress in achieving the SDGs.
