Download the data pack: Preqin Special Report: Asian Infrastructure www.preqin.com/AsiaINF15 Foreword Despite the inception of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) by China and Japan’s further $110bn fi nancing of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), there remains a structural fi nancing gap for infrastructure in developing Asian countries. According to the ADB, this gap stands at $8tn from 2010 to 2020, and without adequate infrastructure, Asia’s rising economic growth will be harder to maintain. However, the unlisted infrastructure market in Asia remains a diffi cult place to raise capital; only six funds closed last year raising an aggregate $2.7bn and only three vehicles have held a fi nal close so far this year. As it stands, 80% of Asia-headquartered managers are raising their fi rst vehicle, refl ective of the relative youth of the infrastructure market in Asia, although there is clearly scope for the asset class to develop in the coming years. Asia presents a unique combination of developed and emerging economies, generating many different infrastructure opportunities for a wide spectrum of managers and investors.

  • Local Currency Bonds and Infrastructure Finance in ASEAN+3
    Local Currency Bonds and Infrastructure Finance in ASEAN+3 The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is working closely with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Japan, and the Republic of Korea—collectively known as ASEAN+3—to develop local currency bond markets and facilitate regional bond market integration under the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI). ABMI was launched in 2002 to strengthen the resilience of the region’s financial system by developing local currency bond markets as an alternative source to foreign currency-denominated, short-term bank loans for long-term investment financing. The need for infrastructure investment among ASEAN+3 members is well documented, with estimates for needed investment through 2020 reaching as high as US$550 billion. Local currency financing of infrastructure projects has the important advantage of avoiding the currency risk that can arise when a project generating revenues in the domestic currency has foreign currency-denominated debt service requirements. This study was undertaken under ABMI and funded by the Government of the PRC. It addresses two key questions: (i) Why is local currency bond financing not more widely used for infrastructure projects in ASEAN+3? and (ii) What can be done to promote infrastructure bond financing? About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to the majority of the world’s poor.
