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.

Monetary policy remained restrictive via tight open market operations (OMO), and a 3.4% drop in the Vietnam Dong value in February. The Government eliminated the ceiling lending rate that banks can charge on loans, although this was mainly a signaling effect because banks had already been circumventing the loan rate ceilings via fees. These measures are working, as reflected in quarter to quarter GDP growth of 5.8% in Q1 (versus 6.9% in Q4 2009). In addition, it appears that month on month inflation peaked in February which was further evidence that the Government has cooled the overheating in the economy (1.36% in January 2010, 1.96% in February, and 0.75% in March ).
