Abstract

Mobilizing private-sector resources at scale is considered a necessary condition for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Hence, it is important to gather data on the contributions of the private sector to the SDGs. Such data contains information on challenges and opportunities that is a critical input in policy formulation. This article advances the argument that the contributions of private-sector holders of debt issued by Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) and Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) should be recognized. Such recognition will help account for the asset-side and liability-side operations of MDBs and DFIs, distinguishing between institutions that have capital markets operations (CMOs) and institutions that rely exclusively on shareholder support. Furthermore, the true roles of MDBs and DFIs in the mobilization of private-sector resources will be appreciated. Finally, the Blended Finance nature of sovereign guaranteed operations (SGOs) will be understood.
