More blended finance doesn't always mean more development outcomes Opinion: The success of catalytic capital shouldn’t be measured by leverage ratios. It should be measured by whether markets mature enough to attract commercial capital on their own.

More blended finance deals don't automatically deliver more #SustainableDevelopment impact. True #BlendedFinance should be measured over time and across investments, asking whether structural barriers fell, institutions strengthened, or new asset classes emerged.
