Octobre Liquidity Guarantee Facility (OLGF) has officially launched.

Amsterdam / Luxembourg / Paris – October 29, 2025 – The Octobre Liquidity Guarantee Facility (“OLGF”) is officially launched, representing a significant step forward in mobilising private capital for impact-driven initiatives in Emerging Market and Developing Economies (EMDEs).

The facility enables private investors to exit their holdings in EMDE private impact funds, providing a liquidity solution for traditionally illiquid investments. OLGF effectively bridges the gap between the long-term capital needs of impactful projects on the ground and the liquidity requirements of the majority of private investors. As a result, OLGF will contribute to accelerating the scale up of private sector participation in EMDEs in order to address the USD 4.3 trillion annual investment gap to reach the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

OLGF will be available to private investors and asset managers, active across all EMDEs, for both private debt and private equity investments. The launch is backed by a EUR 108 million credit line provided by leading European bank Societe Generale, with the support of a guarantee by the European Commission through its EFSD+ program. This financing complements capital commitments from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the founding partners of OLGF.

OLGF was established in 2020, by a consortium comprising of Cardano Development (Netherlands), Innpact (Luxembourg), and Octobre S.A.S (France), with a shared mission to create innovative solutions that unlock private capital at scale for EMDEs & Impact.

Sylvain Goupille, Co-Founder of Octobre: “With this platform, we are empowering all types of private investors, from institutional players to retail and private banking clients, to direct more of their capital toward investments that not only generate competitive returns but also deliver meaningful impact.”

Marie-Aimée Boury, Head of Impact Based Finance at Societe Generale: “We are proud to support OLGF, a highly innovative tool enabling more private investors to fund impactful projects in emerging markets and developing economies. This is a strong example of how blended finance can bring concrete solutions to investors seeking to diversify into high growth markets with a clear contribution to the SDGs.”
