Financing is the essential ingredient to development progress and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Yet, strategic plans and development dialogues often downplay the task of mobilizing and managing the resources that finance development goals. In this episode, Patrick Fine sits down with Andrew Spindler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Financial Services Volunteer Corps, an organization that has spent three decades building the institutional infrastructure for the financial institutions that underpin the modern state. They discuss the benefits and challenges of an increasingly interdependent global economy, the disruption to financial markets created by the COVID-19 pandemic, and what lies ahead for emerging markets.

FHI 360's Chief Executive Officer Patrick Fine hosts conversations with creative thinkers, respected leaders and local actors who are at the forefront of human development and who bring diverse perspectives to timely, high-stakes and sometimes controversial issues affecting people around the world.
