Catalytic capital,
made more accessible
The Catalytic Capital Repository (Repository) is a publicly available platform that helps financial institutions and catalytic capital providers and investors — including MDBs, DFIs, and philanthropies — connect on opportunities to mobilize private sector capital into emerging markets and developing economies.
Increasing transparency in blended finance
For many transactions in emerging markets and developing economies, the right concessional, risk-sharing, or grant-based support can be the difference between a viable transaction and one that does not move forward. However, it can be challenging for financial institutions to identify relevant catalytic capital offerings that could make their transaction a success.
The Repository brings comparable information on these offerings together in one place.
CCR helps users understand:
Catalytic offerings include:
Concessional debt
Concessional equity
Guarantees (via the GGG Guarantee Directory)
Grants linked to an investment vehicle
The Catalytic Capital Repository is for:
Private sector financial institutions seeking support for transactions
Project developers seeking to understand eligibility requirements and application pathways
Catalytic investors — mission-driven institutions such as MDBs, DFIs, foundations, and family offices — aiming to increase visibility for their investment strategies, benchmark their offerings, and coordinate with peers and private finance
