If you're a private equity fund looking to attract DFI
capital, here's what you need to consider.
Development finance institutions (DFIs) are government-backed
organisations which provide funding and, where necessary, technical
assistance to private enterprise in emerging markets. They deploy
capital through a variety of instruments, including long-term
loans, direct equity and fund investments. The DFI sector has
enjoyed spectacular growth – annual DFI commitments have
risen from $12 billion (2000) to $87 billion (2017), according to a
recent report from the Washington-based Center
for Strategic and International Studies. So there is a lot of
capital for which to compete.
