Abstract

This chapter concludes with thoughts on the impact of a development system based on marketized development financial instruments. It highlights how current development policy has codified these instruments into formal strategies, as the SDGs, MFD, and AAAA herald them as a critical tool going forward. The chapter also makes note of how marketized development financial instruments have been embraced by institutions such as the China Development Bank (CDB), highlighting their universal appeal. However, there are also potential shortcomings to the strategy; these include questions about the transparency of financial instruments, the efficacy of these new instruments versus alternative mechanisms, and the potential contingent liabilities to donor country governments.
