Impact Investing should see a global rise given the prevalent global economic hassles, the current lowering of interest in almost every national central bank and volatile state of financial markets.
The report “Impact Investing: A framework for Policy Design and Analysis”, a joint effort of InSight at Pacific Community Ventures and Initiative for Responsible Investment funded by the Rockerfeller Foundation addressed a sensitive issue: How can Government Policies enable Impact Investment that shows for a systematic, optimally productive and a well-oiled system?
As underlined in this study, no market is devoid of either government aid, or government policy. To be able to better integrate the role of government in enabling impact investing, i.e. to attempt to provide for a set of guidelines for the government to learn from is the primary objective of this study.
The study is structured around three key evaluators: a model that illustrates the opportunities for policy intervention in impact investing, 6 criteria with which to assess the role of policy and its potential effectiveness, 16 case studies serve as examples of concrete interventions that shape and support impact investing markets.
