The report offers impact economy ecosystem analysis on impact progress in 34 countries with cross-cutting insights. What's unique is that it offers more than market sizing data; it explains how countries are redesigning for impact through policy and practices, building the infrastructure and incentives for impact economies. This includes tracking government actions, market building, impact capital supply, impact capital demand, and contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The GSG Impact Partnership reached a pivotal moment, now spanning 46 countries and covering 65% of the world’s population.
