Catalytic capital, made more accessible

The Catalytic Capital Repository (Repository) 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:

Which organizations provide catalytic capital, catalytic investment, or risk-mitigation instruments intended to mobilize private sector investment
Investment strategies and priorities, live offerings, and how to connect with providers

Catalytic offerings include:

  • Concessional debt
  • Concessional equity
  • Guarantees (via the GGG Guarantee Directory)
  • Grants linked to an investment vehicle

The Catalytic Capital Repository is for:

Private sector financial institutions seeking support for transactions

Project developers seeking to understand eligibility requirements and application pathways

Catalytic investors — mission-driven institutions such as MDBs, DFIs, foundations, and family offices — aiming to increase visibility for their investment strategies, benchmark their offerings, and coordinate with peers and private finance
