Counter-cyclical response sorely lacking by #DFIs and #MDBs in 2008. Was it different in 2020 in response to Covid? Yes, it was. My 4 obs in new @ODI_Global blog.

New @CDC group strategy. Welcome focus on leveraging the city to mobilise commercial investors to cement the UK as a development finance hub. Will require quite a different approach to that in old strategy – look forward to learning more about the plan of attack!.

New .new @CDCgroup strategy unveiled this AM. Some quick observations to come: looks like financial return expectation increased,perhaps in part to fund higher risk investment but with the expanded new geography what will this mean for riskier investment in Africa – a USP of CDC?.

Sustainable recovery? So much noise about this. but bottom line is global emissions set to reach all-time high in next couple of years. Not on track for net zero by 2050. Only 2% of world's fiscal support to Covid spent on clean energy measures.
