Frontclear Impact: cultivating stability and inclusivity in money markets through technical assistance and transactions portfolio, demonstrated by key impact indicators.

impact strategy

Frontclear is strategically focused on building stable and inclusive money markets by committing to long-term and adapting activities for each market. As a conceptual guideline stemming from Frontclear’s experience to date, our Impact Strategy can be divided into 3 evolutionary stages: 1) Opening; 2) Mid-development, and 3) End-target.

The Frontclear Impact Strategy is a long-term effort in many country contexts. As a conceptual guideline stemming from Frontclear’s experience to date, our Impact Strategy can be divided into 3 evolutionary phases: 1) Nascent; 2) Emerging; and 3) Connected. A nascent money market may require an 8-year commitment from Frontclear to support the development of stable and inclusive money markets. The Impact Strategy reflects the complementarity and interoperability of Frontclear’s two key activities: 1) financial guarantees; and 2) capacity development (technical assistance).
