As development budgets shrink, deploying guarantees effectively has never been more important. Guarantees can unlock private investment in emerging markets and developing economies – but only if they are carefully structured, coordinated, and tailored to the right risks.

In this episode of the Knowledge Guaranteed podcast, DGG Co-founder and Board Chair Boo Hock Khoo is joined by Lasse Møller, Senior Economist and Private Sector Development Advisor at the OECD. They discuss best practices for deploying guarantees, how to avoid crowding out private finance, and why coordination and re-insurance can dramatically increase their impact.
