Frederique Dahan, Director of the Development and Public Finance Programme and Principal Research Fellow at ODI Global, joins Tellimer Founder and CEO Duncan Wales to discuss the evolving role of development finance in mobilising private capital for emerging markets and developing economies. Drawing on Frederique's two decades at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and her research at ODI Global, the conversation examines why the promise of turning billions into trillions through blended finance has largely failed to materialise, and what a more credible mobilisation agenda looks like. They explore how development finance institutions are rethinking their models, from originate-to-distribute strategies and risk-transfer mechanisms to closer integration with national development banks and local capital markets. The episode also covers the tension between bespoke deal-making and the standardisation required to attract institutional investors at scale, the implications of shrinking official development assistance, and how a shifting balance of global economic power is reshaping the relationship between DFIs and the countries they serve.
