“Stalled” is a PR way to put it. I think @felixundstein.bsky.social in his Berlin talk said “absurdly unrealistic from the start”, and had a striking figure for what this would have meant in terms of ROI. Can we sunset this fundraising claim please 👇
Leaders from Citi, the World Bank, and the Gates Foundation admitted that mobilizing private finance for development has stalled — and say only regulatory and structural reforms can get the money moving.

Felix Stein asks an interesting question about what “responsibility“ (part of the #WHS2025 tagline) means. We often refer to the more technocratic “accountability“, but should also include the term “complicity“. (I’ll have to think about this more…)
