Bretton Woods Conference, London, 22 November 2010

The Bretton Woods Project is announcing its conference on 'the private finance turn' in development in London. This conference brings together a range of different organisations that have begun to concentrate on the new trend of private finance for development, notably through Financial Intermediaries and private equity lending. It will focus on the International Finance Corporation (IFCs) of the Worldbank Group and the European Investment Bank (EIB) as perhaps the two longest-standing private finance supporting international financial institutions (IFIs), but also on other funders involved in the same activities such as the Commonwealth Development Corporation (CDC), African Development Bank (ADB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The conference under the title “Private equity, financial intermediaries and what they mean for development” will be on Monday November 22nd, with a strategy and action day on Tuesday 23rd.
