Investment gap to achieve SDGs
United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) estimated $2.5 trillion of annual investment gap in developing countries in the World Investment Report 2014. The finance gap was exacerbated after the Covid-19 pandemic.1
On the other hand, when we look at the supply side, retained earnings of Japanese corporations reached 484 trillion yen at the end of fiscal 2020, hitting the highest record. 2At the household level, cash and deposits have surpassed 1,000 trillion yen.3
