SUMMARY:Driving Inclusive Green Finance for MSMEs – what role for Central Banks?
DESCRIPTION:Central banks and financial regulators are emerging as important actors in shaping how climate finance reaches the real economy, especially micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that form the backbone of employment and livelihoods in many developing and emerging economies. Through their mandates on financial inclusion, stability, and market development, regulators are uniquely positioned to design and implement policies that remove barriers to green finance and ensure that MSMEs, including those led by women, can access the resources they need to adapt, build resilience, and contribute to low-carbon growth. \nThis side event will share the key outcomes of a joint AFI and IDRC global research initiative on Inclusive Green Finance. It will feature speakers from AFI, Bank Al Maghrib and Bangladesh Bank, highlighting lessons from two in-country action research projects and a global policy toolkit. Discussions will focus on practical solutions and scalable policy recommendations, showing how central banks and financial regulators can close climate finance gaps, safeguard financial inclusion, and promote an inclusive and just transition.
