The Fourth International High-Level Conference on Financing for Development will be held in Seville, Spain in June 2025. It will discuss progress made in the implementation of the Monterrey Consensus of the International Conference on Financing for Development, the Doha Declaration on Financing for Development and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, and identify obstacles and constraints encountered in the achievement of the goals and objectives agreed therein. The 2025 conference will also identify actions and initiatives to overcome these constraints, and to address new and emerging issues, including in the context of the urgent need to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, and to support reform of the international financial architecture.
In the preparations for the Fourth Conference, regional commissions have been invited, through General Assembly Resolution 78/271, to hold regional consultations with its member states and relevant stakeholders. The objective of this regional consultation is to discuss four areas of Financing for Development from the perspective of Asia and the Pacific, namely: a) strengthening domestic public resources; b) accelerating the mobilisation of domestic and international private finance and investment towards the SDGs; c) tackling public debt sustainability concerns; and d) addressing selected systemic issues.
