Securitization is increasingly seen as critical to mobilizing private capital to finance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Transactions can be structured to meet the risk/return profiles that investors want, and small borrowings can be aggregated and pooled to create large-sized investment opportunities. Securitization is underdeveloped in much of Africa, as in most emerging market countries, but can play a potentially large role in helping African countries meet their significant SDG financing goals.

In this webinar, a panel of leaders in the African financial space, as well as experts on global markets, will discuss the issues facing securitization in Africa.
