This document discusses sustainable development finance post-2015. It notes that more money flows out of developing countries than in due to unregulated capital flows that cost them. Domestic finance is more important than international flows. Key recommendations are to mobilize domestic resources, focus on quality over quantity of funds, address systemic issues like tax dodging and debt, and close the public finance gap.
