Our team participated in the 5th European Innovation for Sustainability Summit in Rome, which brought together more than 4,000 participants to discuss next-generation leadership and solutions for sustainable development.

We spoke on the panel ‘Financing the Future Locally: From FX Risk to Financial System Transformation’, alongside Yulia Pashchenko (TCX), Gulnara Yunusova (IFAD) and Philip Buyskes (Frontclear), moderated by Sean Lo Pinzi (CLSBE). The discussion explored how greater use of local currency financing can strengthen the resilience of developing economies by reducing systemic exposure to foreign exchange risk. It also considered the role of MDB reform and domestic savings mobilisation in enabling developing countries to finance investment in their own currencies.
