APEC Moves to Bridge Asia-Pacific Infrastructure Funding Gap

Investment promotion officials from the APEC members have introduced a groundbreaking tool to help meet the Asia-Pacific’s increasing need for infrastructure funding and build greater capacity for growth among the region’s economies.

For the first time, investors can now refer to a single all-in-one guide for executing projects in APEC economies funded and operated in collaboration with the public sector—known as public-private partnerships or PPPs. The guide describes each of their PPP frameworks and process requirements, making it easier to set up joint infrastructure projects ranging from new highways, ports and airports, to improvements to power grids and telecommunications services.

Focus areas include legal and regulatory structures; project structure and development; project support, financing and management; related policies; and ready-to-offer projects.
