World Bank Group Boosts Private Sector Investment in Emerging Markets.

The World Bank Group has launched the Private Sector Investment Lab to address the barriers preventing private sector investment in emerging markets. The Lab will focus on scaling transition finance, with an initial sectoral focus on renewable energy and energy infrastructure. The Lab will be comprised of senior leaders from private finance and business who have experience financing, investing, and doing business in emerging markets and developing economies. The Lab will report directly to the World Bank Group President and will work closely with experts from government, regulatory policy, and civil society.
