This session was recorded at the Flexible finance for development: bridging research and practice event hosted by BII and the PEDL Network in September 2024.

This one day event brought together leading academics with cutting-edge research on the impact of flexible finance in Africa and Asia, with the investors and business leaders from companies that are supplying it.

Our goal was to not only understand the positive impacts of flexible finance, but also explore how it can be delivered at scale in a commercially sustainable way.
