Happy to share a new open-access article from the SuFi project at Witten/Herdecke University, just published in @jeppjournal.bsky.social @naguila.bsky.social @janina urban @paulahaufe.bsky.social @simonschairer.bsky.social @jwullweber.bsky.social 👉 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Figure from our #policy #report: 1. The main barrier to #financing the necessary activities for the sustainable transition is their lack of #bankability 2. High GHG-emitting activities remain #bankable and thus continue to attract financing from banks and shadow banks www.uni-wh.de/en/your-camp...

Our #policy #paper has just been published: "Financing the #green #transition: Increasing #bankability, phasing out carbon investments and funding 'never bankable' activities". We ask: Why does a large green financing gap persist? What policies do we need to change it: www.uni-wh.de/en/your-camp...

Banks have been slow to increase green lending and continue to finance high-GHG-emitting activities. Why? Based on 88 interviews, in our new @trace working paper, we argue that there are three main reasons: bankability, business model, and regulations. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Wow. These are powerful remarks by Indermit Gill in his Foreword to the World Bank’s International Debt Report 2024, which has just come out. They are both timely and necessary as we approach the 4th FfD Conference, where discussions on an international solvency insolvency framework are critical.

Central banks in financially subordinated countries act differently from CBs in the core, particularly during crises. In this paper, I study peripheral CBs' last resort intervention by looking at Argentina in 2020. Peripheral CBs face limits due to their position in the int'l currency hierarchy
