Overview

Sustaining Asia’s Growth Momentum

Asian Development Bank (ADB) estimated that developing Asia will need to invest about US$1.5 trillion in infrastructure per year to 2030 to maintain its growth momentum. This opens up huge opportunities in transport, power, telecom, water, etc. to private capital but investors continue to face significant challenges in ensuring the bankability of these projects.

This workshop aims to provide an overview of the objectives, characteristics, financial ecosystem and risk allocation among key stakeholders. Participants will learn to identify risk exposures at different stages of the project, and the use of different financing structures to mitigate risks and protect returns.
