Catalytic capital,
made more accessible
The Catalytic Capital Repository (CCR) 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 and catalytic debt- Catalytic equity
- Guarantees (via the GGG Guarantee Directory)
- Grants linked to an investment vehicle
The Catalytic Capital Repository is for:
Private sector financial institutions: such as banks, asset managers, institutional investors, and insurers seeking up-to-date information on guarantees, catalytic debt and equity, and other risk-mitigation instruments for fund- and project-level transactions
Catalytic capital providers and investors: mission-driven institutions such as MDBs, DFIs, foundations, and family offices seeking to increase visibility for their investment strategies, assess the catalytic capital landscape, and connect with peers and private finance
Project developers: from early-stage sponsors to established infrastructure developers — seeking to identify relevant catalytic capital providers, understand eligibility requirements and application pathways to support financing and other assistance for projects
