The high-level Investor Forum will take
place on November 29, 2018, in Buenos Aires, hosted by the
President of Argentina, this year’s chair of the G20, and
co-organized with the World Bank Group. The Forum will bring
together leaders from the public sector and the global
investment communityto explore how their combined power
could contribute to sustained global economic growth
andincrease the flow of long-term sustainable investments to
where they are needed most. It is hopedthat the Forum will
build strong momentum to support collaboration to address
areas of shared interest, concern, and opportunity. As part
of preparing for the Forum, the World Bank Group (WBG)
conducted semi-structured interviews with senior
executives—mostly chief executive officers and chief
investment officers—in 34 global institutional investors,
soliciting their views on the current operational and
investment environment; strategic priorities going forward;
and actionsrequired to scale up investments in sustainable,
long-term projects, particularly investments in
infrastructure. The major topics covered were (i) current
perceptions regarding today’s economic and investment
environments; (ii) mega-trends shaping existing and future
investment strategies; (iii) sustainable investing along a
number of dimensions; (iv) infrastructure investing; (v)
investing in emerging markets; (vi) the potential role of
the WBG and, by extension,other international financial
institutions (IFIs); and (vii) their guidance on how to make
the Forum a success. Given the geographic diversity, number,
and level of seniority of the interviewed executives, we
believe that these inputs can be considered a good
reflection of views widely held by the global investment
community. A key finding from the interviews was the
significant degree of consensus among global investors on
what were the principal concerns, opportunities, and actions needed. |
