Rajah unveiled the InfraAsia Project Portal that will “improve the visibility” of the region’s infrastructure project pipeline, raising regional counterparts’ awareness of technological and financial solutions from over 600 of Infrastructure Asia’s Singapore and Singapore-based partners, while serving as a virtual marketplace to “connect like-minded partners” to develop these infrastructure projects.
Infrastructure Asia (InfraAsia) held its third Asia Infrastructure Forum (AIF) on Aug 2 and 3, with its focus on “scaling up sustainable infrastructure” to drive recovery for the region after the economic and social impacts of the past two years.
AIF guest of honour Indranee Rajah, minister in the Prime Minister’s Office and second minister for finance and national development, says that to meet Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), public and private investments must flow into developing sustainable infrastructure “at scale”. Some US$2 trillion ($2.76 trillion) will be required to build sustainable infrastructure in Asean, she adds.
