Privately held infrastructure funds has raised USD102 billion globally in 2021, which is up from USD34 billion a decade earlier according to Preqin. In Asia Pacific, there are significant opportunities for infrastructure investments as ADB has estimated that an approximate USD1.7 trillion of infrastructure investments are required in Asia every year until 2030 with a study by Bain indicating that USD2 trillion of sustainable infrastructure is needed between 2021 and 2030 if South-east Asia is to achieve climate and sustainable development goals. Outside infrastructure funds, there are multiple ways to participate in the infrastructure boom via asset classes such as listed equity and public bonds. The rise of infrastructure as an asset class and the emergence of sustainable infrastructure in recent years has driven the need for investors and financiers to understand and keep up to date with the evolving infrastructure ecosystem and landscape, particularly in a market that is as heterogeneous as Asia Pacific.
