Global investment is stalling where it matters most. Project finance fell 26% in 2024. Water & sanitation -30%. Renewable⚡-31% Agrifood -19% These are not just numbers—they are a wake-up call. We must shift from short-term fear to long-term impact. 🔗unctad.org/wir2025

A successful Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF) Event on the sidelines of the International Conference on Financing for Development. The Pre-Launch of the 3rd Enhanced Integrated Framework Phase went well with $15 million pledged! Looking forward to the next event at the Public Forum in September.

Yesterday, countries adopted the Compromiso de Sevilla—an actionable commitment to finance development. Now more than ever, multilateralism must support developing countries facing rising debt & shrinking aid. It’s urgent to deliver a financial system that works for all. #FFD4

I’ve left FFD4 in Seville optimistic. The Compromiso de Sevilla agreed at #FFD4 offers clear, actionable solutions to put development first. Now it’s time to implement them. At UN Trade and Development, we’re working for fair debt relief, renewed investment, and trade that delivers for all.
