Asia is estimated to contribute approximately 60% of global economic growth in 2024.
To sustain this growth, the region must prioritise the development of sustainable infrastructure. Developing Asia needs to invest US$26 trillion from 2016 to 2030, about US$1.7 trillion per year, to maintain its growth momentum, eradicate poverty and address climate change (climate-adjusted estimate). However, the region currently invests only an estimated US$881 billion per year in infrastructure, less than half of the required amount.1 To bridge the financing gap in the long run, it is crucial for the private sector to play a larger role in meeting these infrastructure needs.
Given Asia's diverse and complex landscape, it is important to understand the unique needs of each market and tailor strategies accordingly. At Infrastructure Asia, our goal is to drive infrastructure excellence across Asia, fostering sustainable development. We are committed to developing a robust pipeline of bankable projects and investments opportunities by working closely with regional governments, private companies, and both commercial and multilateral development banks.
