At IIX and DFAT's partner session at Ecosperity Week 2026, three questions framed the conversation: How do we move capital faster into the communities driving growth and resilience? How do we build financial systems for local realities? And what does it take to build the trust and transparency markets need to function accountably?
Three insights from our expert speakers answered the call:
Exchanges are leading — and regulation is the multiplier SGX hosts 8 Orange Bonds from IIX's Women's Livelihood Bond series. IDX hosts US$1.2 billion in Orange Bonds and Orange Sukuks — the largest in the world. The message was clear: private sector actors can lead, but regulatory players set the conditions for inclusive capital to scale — through incentives, national frameworks, and clear pathways for issuers.
The full value chain of Orange Capital, in one room Standard Chartered confirmed strong investor appetite for inclusion-aligned instruments delivering steady returns. Minderoo Foundation made the case for catalytic capital — their investments can mobilize up to 30x in additional capital, and in today's backsliding ESG environment, this is exactly where philanthropy must step in. EVF General Finance brought the on-the-ground reality: the Orange Bond framework was a natural fit for their Vietnam portfolio, and the data infrastructure made it possible to track impact down to the most underserved segments.
Three pillars. One system. Data builds credibility. Policy creates the enabling environment. Together they produce inclusive financial instruments proven at scale — and close to US$2 billion in mobilized Orange Capital is the evidence.
