The finance gap in developing countries is approximately 2.6 billion dollars. Those resources are needed to invest in health, education, roads, electricity, and water and sewerage.

He also stated that it is necessary to increase the impact of investments and establish a policy framework to create a favourable business environment, as well as to benefit from new finance vehicles such as green bonds.
