A subsequent panel discussion involving international organizations and local financial institutions focused on channeling international capital into infrastructure, industrial and regional connectivity projects. Participants also discussed ways to expand cooperation among multilateral development banks, private investors and financial institutions, as well as the role of credit ratings and market information in strengthening investor confidence.
