Riding High: Spotlight on Frontier Markets

Emerging and frontier markets across the globe are presenting new challenges that require integrated and multifaceted solutions supported by the international community. The question remains: "What does it take to build a strong and resilient economy in these markets?" The answer is not easily articulated, but it requires policy advice and dialogue, sustainable finance, and significant political will.

London Business School’s Social Impact Club, Finance Club and Wheeler Institute for Business and Development are delighted to welcome Jürgen Rigterink, the First Vice President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), for a thought-provoking discussion with Vania Stavrakeva, Assistant Professor of Economics, and hosted by Elias Papaioannou, Professor of Economics and Co-Academic Director, Wheeler Institute for Business and Development on how the EBRD invests in economies where it can make the most impact.

Since its establishment in 1991, the EBRD has invested over €180 billion and today works in 36 economies, ranging from Mongolia in the East to Morocco in the West. The EBRD has provided financing for infrastructure, energy, and private market participants, utilising tailor-made financing instruments from debt and equity to bonds and guarantees that prioritize sustainability and the green economy.

If you are interested in frontier markets, sustainable finance, or policy dialogue, please join us to learn how multinational financial institutions are contributing to the building of equitable, resilient, and strong markets, and making an impact where it matters most.
