International financing of the Sustainable Development Goals
By Homi Kharas

This contribution by Homi Kharas discusses the financing of the SDGs but widens the horizon to look at, for example, the contributions of private financing of public investment. He stresses that economic growth, and associated increases in domestic revenues, is far and away the largest driver of new financing for the SDGs, estimating that spending on the SDGs by developing countries could increase by US$ 7 trillion as a result.
