Infrastructure Asia signed four memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with the Indonesia Infrastructure Guarantee Fund, the Public-Private Partnership Center of the Philippines, the Private Infrastructure Development Group and the World Bank Group during the Asia Infrastructure Forum (AIF) 2026 in Singapore. The agreements aim to strengthen regional collaboration, improve project bankability and mobilise financing for sustainable infrastructure projects across Asia through innovative funding and project development mechanisms.
The signing coincided with the presentation of more than 15 infrastructure projects spanning the energy, transport and circular economy sectors, with a combined estimated value exceeding USD16 billion. Featured projects included the Metro Manila Subway Project in the Philippines, the Madhya Pradesh Battery Energy Storage System Programme in India and the Intermediate Treatment Facility Sunter Waste-to-Energy Project in Indonesia. The projects comprise both greenfield developments and expansion initiatives and are expected to enter the market over the next two years.
The MoUs will support project preparation, advisory services, capacity building and knowledge sharing among infrastructure stakeholders. Infrastructure Asia and its partners will work to enhance project structuring, facilitate private sector participation and provide greater visibility into regional infrastructure pipelines. Global estimates indicate that infrastructure investment needs could reach USD106 trillion by 2040, with Asia accounting for approximately two-thirds of total demand.
