Capitalizing Sustainable Finance in Argentina
Argentina’s G20 presidency in 2018 provides a unique window for the country to scale up its current efforts and embrace the opportunities presented by sustainable finance. These opportunities include promoting financial system shifts, including via market innovations and voluntary standards, public-private partnerships, and supporting policy, regulatory and fiscal reforms.
This report provides a comprehensive analysis of sustainable investment opportunities in Argentina between 2019 and 2030, assesses the characteristics of those opportunities, and estimates current flows of sustainable finance. Drawing on consultations with key national stakeholders and lessons from other countries, the report also presents current barriers to scaling up sustainable finance in Argentina and possible ways to address those barriers.
