Report Launch: Financing and Implementing the Quality Infrastructure Agenda

Please listen as the demand for quality infrastructure in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond is both a challenge and an opportunity for the international community. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) estimates that Asia alone will require more than $1.7 trillion annually through 2030, to support its growing infrastructure needs. Public finance on its own cannot close the infrastructure gap, and with foreign aid limited to a few hundred billion dollars each year, the global demand for quality infrastructure will require financing from diverse sources including the private sector, multilateral development banks (MDBs), and others.
