Abstract
This paper invites impact investors to build a shared language for defining, claiming, and measuring “market effects” in private sector impact investing. Developing countries need an estimated additional $2.5 trillion each year to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Multilateral development banks and Development finance institutions are making it a priority to mobilise private capital to bridge this gap. However, beyond much-needed capital, this paper argues that is essential to improve how markets in developing regions function. This requires not only financial investment but also intentional efforts to change the behaviour of commercial investors, companies, public institutions, and consumers. The paper outlines four steps for private sector impact investors to incorporate market effects into their impact assessments.
