Amounts mobilised by year and instrument, 2012-17
USD billion
According to preliminary OECD data, USD 152.1 billion was mobilised from the private sector by
development finance interventions during 2012-17. Guarantees was the instrument that mobilised the
most (42% of the total), followed by syndicated loans (18%), credit lines (17%) and direct investment in
companies (DIC) – including project finance / special purpose vehicles (SPVs) – (14%).
N.B.: Reporting on amounts mobilised from the private sector is part of the regular OECD DAC data collections
since 2017, but some information is also collected through ad-hoc surveys (to pilot new methodologies and/or fill
data gaps), in line with basic definitions of the Reporting Directives. The increases in the amounts mobilised
through syndicated loans in 2014 and DIC in 2016 are mainly explained by better data coverage.
Data for 2016 and 2017 are of a preliminary nature.
