While leading businesses have long been engaged in efforts to integrate sustainability at the core of corporate strategy and decision-making, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide us with a new lens through which to translate global needs and ambitions into business solutions. These solutions will enable companies to better manage their risks, anticipate consumer demand, harness the potential of historic growth markets, secure access to needed resources and strengthen their supply chains, while moving the world towards the delivery of the SDGs and a more prosperous society for all.
While business is not being asked to deliver the SDGs by itself, this complex and urgent agenda will not be realized without involvement at scale by the private sector. Converting the SDGs into meaningful and widespread corporate engagement, and ushering in the inclusive and sustainable economic growth that the Goals represent, will be a sizeable challenge.
Forward-looking businesses are already working towards having a meaningful impact on the SDGs - in particular by:
developing a thorough understanding of how their activities translate into economic, environmental and social impacts in the context of the SDGs;
setting ambitious goals to implement the SDGs, including by incorporating responsible business practices across strategies and operations;
pursuing impactful contributions to the 2030 Agenda through a strong commitment to universal principles in relation to human rights, equality and the environment;
developing business solutions to address sustainability challenges;
collaborating with peers to develop a collective vision and roadmaps to realize substantial sector transformation;
working across sectors to help transform entire economic systems;
disclosing SDG performance and progress;
openly advocating for key policy and finance enablers that will help achieve a tipping point.

WBCSD - Business implications of the Sustainable Development Goals fveglio
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide business with a powerful framework to translate global needs and ambitions into business solutions. They enable companies to better manage their risks and unlock opportunities. Radical transformation is required to deliver the Global Goals, allowing business to demonstrate leadership and apply its creativity to innovate for a more sustainable and inclusive future.
Business is not being asked to deliver the SDGs alone, but the goals will not be achieved without a significant contribution from the private sector. With our work programs we aim to provide meaningful avenues for our members to lead, transform and succeed on the journey to 2030.
Relative Potency of Internal and External Sources of Financing Nigerian Econo...iosrjce
The study is aimed at determining the relative potency of internal and external sources of financing
economic growth in Nigeria using time series data from 1983 to 2012. Ordinary least square regression method,
unit root test, Johansen cointegration test and error correction model were used for the purpose of analyses.
Gross national saving, internal debt, grants and foreign investment are stationary at level, gross domestic
investment at first difference and gross domestic product at second difference. From the over parameterized
ECM, none of the internal and external financing options is significant in explaining economic growth. In the
group of internal options, gross national saving, gross domestic investment and internal debt contribute
positively to growth in the short and long run, the only exception being gross national saving in the short run. In
the group of external options however, only grant contribute positively to growth in the long and short run.
Foreign direct investment appears like a wolf in sheep’s clothing given its long run negative impact. Finally,
growth is a decreasing and an increasing function of external debt in the short and long run respectively. It is
noteworthy that a very high constant coefficient implies that there are many factors that actually determine
Nigerian gross domestic product outside the model. While the variables of interest are theoretically expected to
play significant roles, they fail empirically. A comparison of the two modes shows that internal factors prove to
be more reliable in accelerating Nigerian economic growth.

The private sector has a critical role to play in meeting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) over the next decade. Not only is it expected that private investors will contribute their share, there is a clear business case for doing so as, increasingly, investors build environmental, social and governance risk into their decision-making and seek to act in the interests of a broader range of stakeholders.

Coordination with private sector key to reaching SDGs
“Focusing on challenges globally and that Bangladesh faces”
Overview:
The development finance agenda is broad. Contents it covers may be different according to the
development priorities worldwide, but some basics are common as- how should progress be paid
for? What is the role of the public and/or private sector? Who should monitor sources of finance?
Isn’t it now finally time for structural reform in global financial institutions, such as the World
Bank. And what proportion of development should be paid for out of domestic as opposed to
international resources?
What is important to keep in mind for action is that the world does not need another list of
financial problems and solutions, another meta-analysis of the situation. It needs priorities.
First, identify the most important issues. One of the main problems of the MDGs, adopted for
2000-2015 as noted in countless analyses, was their failure to bring the major structural issues to
the table. Today it is even clearer than 15 years ago that such major structural issues need to be
managed if the world is to adopt a sustainable path. Such issues could be explicitly prioritized in
the UN finance for development declaration.
Second is achievability. Reflecting on the way cotton subsidies abroad had all but destroyed
Mali's cotton industry, its one big chance to emerge from aid dependency; they weren't
campaigning harder on the issue assuming that it was pointless – incentives in subsidizing
countries were too strong to overcome; better to work on things with a chance of progress!
The same analysis needs to be applied to the prioritization of goals and commitments in
development finance. Some issues remain fairly intractable (like subsidies in richer countries)
but the international context for progress on other systemic issues is better than ever, as people in
rich countries clamor for fairer burden-sharing in times of austerity. The achievability test is also
a key to the public versus private debate. The role of the private sector, both domestic and
multinational, is critical to development outcomes. Rather than focusing on getting commitments
from the private sector, which follows a particular set of incentives, it may be more sensible to
set out how public actions can encourage – and sometimes force – companies and banks to be as
pro-development as possible.
Prioritizing some issues doesn't mean forgetting others – it means allocating time and resources
most appropriately after an assessment of importance and achievability, just as has happened for
the SDGs. Reaching the SDGs will require a step-change in both public and private investment.
Public sector funding capabilities alone may be insufficient to meet demands across all SDG-
related sectors. However, today, the participation of the private sector in investment in these
sectors is relatively low. Only a fraction of the worldwide invested assets of banks, pension
funds, insurers, foundations and endowments, as well as transnational corporations, is in SDG
sectors, and even less in developing countries.
2. Page 2 of 7
Investment through Private Sector:
Coordinated efforts with the private sector and an action plan with accountability hold the key to
achieving the United Nations' 17-point sustainable development goals. According to Ahsan H
Mansur, executive director of the Policy Research Institute, the SDGs are focused on the private
sector, while the millennium development goals were primarily focused on the social sector. So,
the government has to focus on the private sector, which, in turn, must actively participate to
help achieve the goals.
Seven of the 17 SDGs are directly linked with trade, business and investment. So, without real
and effective collaboration between the government and the private sector, the SDGs cannot be
achieved. For example, ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy
for all will be challenging for Bangladesh as the country is running out of gas. Another major
challenge will be building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable
industrialization and fostering innovation.
Without infrastructure no country can have a better economy. So, Bangladesh has to have better
and sustainable infrastructure to attain the goal. Infrastructure will lead us to growth and the
growth needs to be sustainable and inclusive. The SDGs forecast 7 percent gross domestic
product growth for least-developed countries, which, the economist said, is an opportunity for
Bangladesh as the country is very close to attaining the target.
Combating climate change, sustainable consumption and production, development and uses of
ports, and preventing air and water pollution are the other challenges for Bangladesh. If we work
collectively, in a link created between the rural and urban communities to achieve the goals, the
SDGs can be achieved.
Investment Opportunities in Bangladesh:
The government is fully committed to facilitating the private sector as govt. wants to believe that
Bangladeshi entrepreneurs are resilient and are moving the country forward. Private investment
is welcome in all areas of the economy with the exception of the four reserved sectors:
Arms and ammunition and other defense equipment and machinery
Forest Plantation and mechanized extraction within the bounds of reserved forests
Production of Nuclear Energy
Security Printing and Mining
3. Page 3 of 7
Investment of $5-7 trillion will be needed per year to achieve the SDGs globally. So the funding
will be a key challenge for Bangladesh as well, the country will need to increase its revenue
collection, attract more foreign assistance and investment and utilize them properly.
Investment in infrastructure development under public-private partnership initiative can be a
key-point. Bangladesh govt. as doing recently should have soften rules to promote the PPP.
Palash Kanti Das, assistant country director of the United Nations Development Programme, said
the seventh five-year plan 2016-2020 for Bangladesh coincides with the SDGs in many ways.
But prioritization and sequencing should be the first task, followed by drafting of a plan of action
with accountability, to achieving the SDGs.
Infrastructure & Transportation Improvement:

adaptation, policy-framework and long-term strategy for attaining the SDGs. He urged the
government to ensure easy financing for small and medium enterprises, as it is the main driving
force of the economy.
Bangladesh's government wants to invest $8 billion over the next few years in infrastructure to
improve the economy and sought help from private sector to share the cost which the
government could not bear alone. Here is scope to invest for accommodation, public transport-
bus, train, launch, high-way, railroad, bridge and what not!
Khaled said the government should form a national implementation forum, a single and small
platform consisting of public and private sector representatives along with all stakeholders, for
monitoring the implementation process of the SDG initiatives.
Ready Made Garments (RMG):
RMG is another and a big scope for more investment. Country has already 6 EPZ and govt. is
trying to work more in this sector.
5. Page 5 of 7
Energy Sector:
Energy sector has prioritized by current govt., as we are forwarding to 50 years of Independent in
2021, in Vision 2021. Govt declared to have 20000MW installed capacity by 2021. At present
we have 10600MW installed capacity with generating 7500 MW. A big deal for investment lies
for private sector to share the next need of country and own profit.
6. Page 6 of 7
Remittances:
We have remittances every year and its increasing day by day. If this can be used in long run
projects with security and good profit we can have huge investment which is greater than ODA
received by Bangladesh!
Conclusion:
Bangladesh continues to make progress on human development and reducing extreme poverty.
The main problems are political uncertainty and weak competitiveness, which are dragging
acceleration of private investment and growth. The economy is gradually recovering from
prolonged disruptions, aided by political and macroeconomic stability. The challenge now is to
consolidate this by accelerating economic growth in an inclusive and sustainable manner. To
sustain growth in the near- and medium-term, private investment need to increase significantly
along with improving the quality of public investment.
To say, we need doing good and do good things well at the same time to achieve the SDGs.
