The OECD has developed an international standard for measuring the volume of private finance mobilised towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our 2023 report on Mobilised Private Finance offers in-depth insights into the portfolios of bilateral and multilateral development co-operation providers, as well as their use of leveraging mechanisms and the challenges and incentives they face in scaling up private finance for sustainable development and climate action.

The OECD methodology, developed in partnership with multilateral and bilateral development finance institutions and the OECD-led Research Collaborative on Tracking Finance for Climate Action, ensures the collection of data using instrument-specific methodologies. Efforts are ongoing to capture the mobilisation impact of technical assistance activities.
