Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, ASEAN’s infrastructure sector was booming and in need of USD 210 billion in annual investment through 2030. This sector holds one of the largest green finance opportunities in Southeast Asia, in part due to the need for infrastructure that is climate-resilient and that supports green and equitable growth. ASEAN countries emerging from lockdown must now determine where stimulus dollars should go, and private finance will become more crucial as state budgets are redirected to the pandemic response. Sustainable infrastructure is key to ensuring the environmental and social resilience of our economies for decades to come. 

Join our live webinar on 14 August 2020 (Friday), at 1:30pm (GMT+8) to learn and discuss how financiers can help ASEAN "build back better" in a post-COVID world. Speakers from Singapore Institute of International Affairs, DBS Bank and Surbana Jurong will share about:

• the state of play, including challenges and opportunities, for sustainable infrastructure financing in ASEAN;
• how ASEAN countries are balancing economic and sustainability priorities for infrastructure development in view of COVID-19; and
• which markets and sectors have the greatest investment opportunities in a post-COVID world.
