3 mins in development finance/wk26

Over the summer, I hope to share more links to content I’ve digested in recent days that are relevant for those interested in Development Finance, are active stakeholders or simply desire a quick snapshot of what they should read.

This week, I feature content from my fellow DFIs, plugging articles featuring @Mark Kenderdine-Davies and Alagappan Murugappan.

Next week I will try and expand on some of the markets that I am most passionate about in Asia and the challenges we are seeing there.

Thank you.
