Join senior FCDO officials on Wednesday, 3rd November at 08:15am - 09.00am for a progress report on the competition and to hear directly from the financial institutions participating in the advanced stages.
In February 2021 the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) launched a public competition to engage financial institutions in a search for the best sustainable infrastructure proposals that could list either on the London Stock Exchange or local exchanges.
The UK government now invites the investment and policy communities to a discussions hosted by the FCDO on 3rd November (COP Finance Day) at PwC's offices in Glasgow, that will showcase the financial institutions participating in the competition.
It is FCDO's intention to back these proposals at the conclusion of a successful commercial negotiation - as well as future finalists in subsequent competitions.
FCDO will be joined by representatives from the following Competition finalists:
- Chapel Hill Denham Management Limited (Africa Infrastructure Equity Fund)
- FirstRand Bank Limited and UN Capital Development Fund (Exchange Listed Investment Platform for Sustainable Infrastructure Securitization
- InfraCo Africa and Helios Investment Partners (African Green Infrastructure Fund
- The Development Guarantee Group Limited (The Green Guarantee Company)
- ThomasLloyd Group Limited (ThomasLloyd Energy Impact Trust plc)
Developing economies need over $2.5 trillion annually to achieve the Global Goals. In the context of COP Finance Day, the international community also needs to make good on its commitment to mobilise $100 billion of climate finance annually if developing countries are to be supported in their respective net zero pathways.
Mobilising Institutional Capital Through Listed Product Structures (MOBILIST) is FCDO's flagship programme to mobilise large scale investment flows through public 'listed' markets and establish the UK as a global development finance hub. Catalysing new listed products will be transformative in the way development capital is intermediated between emerging, frontier and global markets.
We ask you to join FCDO in this collaboration and hear from us about these future plans.
The Infrastructure Competition is being managed by PwC who will host the event on the 3rd of November 2021, at PwC's Glasgow office on COP Finance Day. To join this event online, please sign up here.
