National economy What are the key macroeconomic and financial characteristics of the national economy? 2. Investment in low carbon & climate resilient initiatives Is there a strong investment climate for low carbon and climate resilient initiatives – for both the public and private sectors? 3. Institutional management of climate finance Does the country have a strong institutional structure to manage domestic & international climate finance? 4. Institutional delivery of climate finance Does the country have a strong institutional structure to deliver climate finance through institutions that can act as NIEs? Tier 2 Indicators 1.1 What are the key macroeconomic indicators in the country?
