Access to affordable housing remains a challenge, particularly in emerging markets. Growing populations, rapid urbanization, and limited access to credit often limit the ability of low-income families to secure safe and affordable housing - globally, the financing gap to meet the demand is estimated to be $16 trillion. Supported by IFC - International Finance Corporation and IFC’s investee fund Multiples Alternate Asset Management, Vastu Housing Finance Corporation Ltd. is leveraging technology to help close the gap and expand access to financing solutions, especially among women and underserved populations. About 98% of their loans are made to women as primary borrowers or co-borrowers, empowering them and their families.

Multilateral development banks (MDBs) and development finance institutions (DFIs) play an important role in connecting private capital to investment opportunities in emerging markets. A new report shows that private sector investment mobilized by MDBs and DFIs into middle-and low-income countries rose an annual 24 percent in 2023. Mobilization to lower income countries alone rose 40 percent—an all-time high for mobilizing private capital to these countries. Read the report: ➡️ http://wrld.bg/8VsK50Vbkf8

A $250 million loan from IFC - International Finance Corporation will support Standard Bank South Africa to provide financing to real estate developers and homebuyers of properties that align with global best practices for energy efficient construction. Every building funded through the partnership will be green certified, meaning that they use less water, less electricity and make use of materials with less embodied energy than their traditional counterparts. Their lower energy usage will contribute towards environmental resilience and result in lower electricity costs and more reliable power supply for home- and business-owners. The partnership will help unlock more funding for affordable green housing projects: at least half of all funds allocated to new residential developments will target the affordable housing segment and up to $37.5 million will be earmarked for women seeking to purchase a home.

Women own two-thirds of #Mongolia’s small- and medium-sized businesses—but they still face major challenges in securing bank loans. That’s because property is often solely in their husband’s name, and property is a key to securing financing. Without financing, it’s difficult for women-owned businesses to grow, adapt to changing conditions, and purchase technology to make operations more efficient. But business owners Chantsaldulam Baatar, Munkhtsetseg Purevsuren, and Munkhtsetseg Jadambaa have overcome these and other challenges. Backed by Khan Bank’s financing for women-owned businesses, these three trailblazing women are transforming their industries. Khan Bank’s loans and training programs for women entrepreneurs are creating jobs, supporting local communities, and helping small businesses reach global markets. Learn how IFC is partnering with Khan Bank and international partners to empower women-owned businesses: http://wrld.bg/wXub50Vb6tw #IWD2025 #WomensDay #womenentrepreneurs #womeninbusiness
