You are invited to the launch of the paper ‘Business Case for Green and Affordable Housing’ through a free webinar organised by IFC, a member of the AUHF and the World Bank Group, on Wednesday, September 22, 2021.

The webinar will focus on six drivers of profitability discussed in the paper in the Journal of Enterprise Development and Microfinance:
1.Access to international green finance flows for better financing terms
2.Minimised incremental cost through early planning
3.Faster sales through market differentiation
4.Savings on utility bills for owners and renters
5.Lowered default rates and superior collateral value for green mortgages
6.Incentives from local and national governments
IFC has experience helping clients and partners to certify as green over 80,000 affordable housing units worldwide. The webinar will showcase examples of lenders and developers with successful investments, and governments with existing incentive programmes.
