Mobilising Capital for Impact: Tackling Liquidity Constraints in Emerging Market Investments
The Luxembourg Sustainable Finance Initiative’s (LSFI) Impact Investing Advisory Board (IIAB), we are pleased to invite you to our upcoming roundtable Mobilising Capital for Impact: Tackling Liquidity Constraints in Emerging Market Investments taking place on 27th November 2025, at the Hotel Royal in Luxembourg.
….
What are the context and objectives?
In emerging markets, impact investing’s potential is constrained by limited liquidity. Tackling this challenge requires coordinated action, with the Luxembourg financial centre well placed to lead. The objective of this roundtable is to convene key members of Luxembourg’s sustainable finance and impact investing ecosystem to explore how it can leverage its strengths to pioneer innovative solutions to liquidity challenges.
