If you're a #venturecapital or #privateequity investor new to climate investing, our Climate Investment Playbook is a must-read. The climate investment market has grown rapidly in recent years. As heat waves, floods and droughts increasingly make headlines worldwide, climate adaptation and resilience solutions are becoming a more prominent focus for investors. In fact, the World Economic Forum estimates that climate adaptation could be worth $2 trillion per year by 2026. For investors new to field, it can be challenging to navigate the world of climate impact management, with few frameworks/methodologies tailored to VC or PE investors in #emergingmarkets. That’s why we recently published this guidance with British International Investment, explaining the steps investors can take to integrate #climatefinance into their investments, aligning it with key international frameworks. Discover how you can maximize your impact through our Climate Investment Playbook below.

We're supporting the microentrepreneurs and women- and youth-owned SMEs in #Uzbekistan through a syndicated transaction together with our long-term customer JSCB Hamkorbank. #MSMEs play a crucial role in the Uzbekistan's economy, accounting for about 54% of the GDP and 78% of employment. However, the number of MSMEs with access to bank loans in Uzbekistan remains quite low at ~22%. Hamkorbank, the largest privately-owned bank Uzbekistan, serves most regions in the country with its comprehensive financial services and their "more than a bank" agenda focused on strengthening their #ESG capacities. This latest USD 100 mln syndicated transaction--of which USD 50 mln was mobilized from #privatesector funds managed by FMO Investment Management and ILX Fund--will be used to further advance financial inclusion in Uzbekistan; to date, our partnership has created ~800 new jobs and and funded over 1,000 #SMBs in Uzbekistan. We look forward to to jointly creating more impact throughout Uzbekistan with Hamkorbank! Read the full announcement here: https://lnkd.in/eRJ9tAvh

Last week, we organized a series of capacity-building workshops focused on #biodiversity in #renewableenergy project development together with our partner WSP UK. The sessions brought together renewable energy developers and local Environmental & Social (E&S) consultants to delve into the practical implementation of IFC Performance Standard 6 (PS6), Biodiversity Conservation, and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources within the renewable energy sector. Special thanks to the Dutch Embassy in Ghana for hosting us, and to all participants for their enthusiasm, engagement, insightful ideas, and valuable feedback, all of which was instrumental in making this initiative a success! We look forward to continuing to drive the sustainable energy agenda forward together! #ImpactInvesting #DevelopmentFinance

We recently published our Interim Report 2024, which reflected our progress on the first half of this year as we continually strive to enable entrepreneurs to increase inclusive and sustainable prosperity. But how did we do? Our results show that our Green- and Reduced Inequality-labeled portfolios have increased, and we've reached a total committed portfolio of €13.5 bln (compared to 2023's €13 bln), so we're cautiously optimistic as to reaching our year-end ambitions. We also marked HY2024 with a net profit of €134 mln (compared to €44 mln in 2023)--mainly due to the appreciation of the USD against the Euro, so this could likely fluctuate going forward. We still face several challenges to reach our targets: a dearth of investment-ready companies, tighter regulatory requirements, and the availability of concessional funding. But with closer collaboration with our fellow DFIs and a strong focus on our #marketcreation approach, we hope to achieve our mission. For our Management Board letter, risk developments, and other relevant updates on our half-year performance, read our Interim Report 2024 below. #ImpactInvesting #DevelopmentFinance

We strongly support the Dutch business community's call for the government to provide sufficient backing for Invest International (of which we are a shareholder). This support is vital not only for ensuring that Dutch businesses remain competitive in the international arena but also for advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For instance, Invest International’s backing of The Waste Transformers | Turn your own food-waste into value —demonstrates its commitment to sustainability. Invest International and FMO operate in complementary spaces—while Invest International focuses on supporting Dutch businesses abroad, FMO empowers local enterprises in emerging markets. Together, we create a powerful force for sustainable development and international business growth. VNO-NCW https://lnkd.in/ekFEEx3T

Over the past months, we’ve spoken a lot about how we’re breaking barriers to foster a new wave of entrepreneurs, or #marketcreation. We’ve shared interviews, videos, evaluations, strategies, and transactions utilizing our market creation approach. But what is it in a nutshell? With a large financing gap towards achieving the SDGs, but also not enough business opportunities for impact investors to invest in, we believe it’s crucial to address the hurdles that prevent investment opportunities from becoming bankable projects. As a key part of our updated 2030 Strategy, we’re using partnerships, expertise, and investment skills to tackle these barriers and expand the pipeline of sustainable transactions. To help explain our approach, we’ve created a webpage that dives into our frontrunner approach, and what it looks like in practice (along with all the resources we’ve been sharing here in the past months). Access it here: https://lnkd.in/dGxskVz3

We’re supporting climate mitigation and adaptation through investments in mid-cap African businesses via Helios Investment Partners CLEAR Fund. Closing at USD 196.9 mln—with FMO committing USD 20 mln—the Climate, Energy, Adaptation and Resilience (or CLEAR) is a new franchise focused on #climate in a still nascent space in Africa. The Fund has adopted a ‘climate first’ lens and is targeting dual climate benefits – both mitigation and adaptation – through investments in mid-cap businesses in Africa across key themes including #greenenergy solutions, climate-smart agribusiness, green transport and logistics, climate enablers, and resource efficiency. We look forward to jointly bringing much-needed growth capital that leads to climate impact across Africa.
