    • Building viable capital markets

    Institutional investors can only invest at scale when capital markets are deep, liquid, and well-functioning. In many emerging and frontier economies, public markets are still underdeveloped or lack liquidity, limiting the ability of both domestic and international capital to flow into high-impact sectors. This makes local capital market development essential to attracting sustained investment, especially through public markets.

    MOBILIST’s research explores how to create the conditions for liquid public equity markets through levers such as creating new market indices, addressing liquidity, strengthening domestic savings, and creating a conducive regulatory environment. The programme also examines how to build markets for new asset classes to encourage replication across regions and sectors.

    Secondary Market Vehicles in EMDEs: Lessons and Implications for Development Actors

    Weak exit routes and limited liquidity constrain capital markets in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). Across infrastructure and real estate, project developers often struggle to sell down or refinance operating assets, which slows capital recycling and constrains their ability to originate new projects. This report examines how scalable secondary market vehicles can help address these constraints by providing structured exit pathways for existing investors, improving liquidity, and supporting more effective capital recycling.
