India has a rich history of financial innovation, dating back to the 4th–6th century CE when Guilds (Shrenis) of merchants and artisans pooled resources, shared risks, and financed large ventures, much like today’s investment trusts. As India seeks to become a high-income economy by 2047, it needs to build on this past to create a dynamic, inclusive and resilient financial system that can help raise the investment-to-GDP ratio from the current 33.5 to 40 percent, promoting economic growth and large-scale job creation. Challenges and opportunities Over the past few years, India’s financial assets have grown to nearly 190 percent of GDP, with non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) and capital markets providing almost half of private sector credit. This shift away from traditional banking is...

The amount of money needed to deliver net zero still exceeds annual spending on emissions reductions, but achieving the required investment appears tantalizingly within reach. CPI’s third annual study with international law firm A&O Shearman, ‘How big is the net zero financing gap?’, analyzes the differential between committed climate finance and the capital needed to decarbonize the global economy by 2050. Building on data from CPI’s Global Landscape of Climate Finance, the study reinforces that if the current trajectory of climate investment (26% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2020 and 2023) is sustained in the coming years, annual climate finance flows could approach USD6.2 trillion by 2029, the lower bound of estimated needs for the period 2024 to 2030. Data vis...

How does private credit meet various financing needs for companies that often can’t access the syndicated loan market? Corporate borrowers, especially middle-market firms, have increasingly relied on private credit from private equity firms in recent years. Most of this takes the form of so-called direct lending, senior secured commercial loans used mainly to finance working capital or growth. This trend reflects the growing retreat of banks from the broadly syndicated loan (BSL) market.  About 10% of all small and medium-sized firms in advanced economies and over 20% in emerging market economies report being credit constrained, often due to a lack of collateral, according to researchers at the Basel, Switzerland-based Bank for International Settlements. Not surprisingly, Fitch Ratings ...

Kia’s (000270.KS) most important vehicle just received a big, bold refresh. Kia showed off the latest version of its top-selling full-size SUV, the 2027 Telluride. The three-row SUV maintains its Range Rover-ish looks, but with a more chiseled design, featuring a massive, almost full-face grill with integrated lighting.
