Developed

Developed economies have large sums of financial flows, a diversity of market players, competitive markets and fewer state-owned enterprises. Developed economies typically have strong institutions to enforce rule of law and protect private property and investments. Foreign direct investment is likely possible in many to most economic sectors. Risks for clean energy projects are likely to be at the project level and not a reflection of systemic uncertainty.
