The Asia-Pacific region will require $3 trillion of infrastructure funding over the next ten years. 20% of this ($600 billion) will be from the private sector, according to the Asia Development Bank.
 
Improving connectivity, the need for clean water and the pressure on the energy sector from environmentalists all provide new and changing opportunities. But how will the tried and tested financing technology from Australia and Europe work in the region? Will the credit crunch lead to a rush to hold long term infrastructure assets? What does the sometimes confusing regulatory dynamic mean for investors?
 
These and many more questions remain unanswered. Financiers need to know what regulators intend as well as about new projects. Project managers need to give practical feedback to those who structure financing options. Regulators need to encourage investment.

The Infrastructure Finance & Investment Asia-Pacific Conference provides the ideal forum to discuss these key issues and more, including:

• The financing options available and the practicalities of implementing them in different jurisdictions
• Assessing the feasibility of different finance structures such as project finance and PPP for greenfield and leveraged acquisition for brownfield, as well as the feasibility of the bond markets
• The needs and intentions of concessionary bodies with regard to minimum guaranteed returns (MGR) and termination clauses
• Where are the growth areas and hot spots for investment and how can investors access them?
• What is the impact of pension funds, private capital and sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) on infrastructure finance?
• The role of foreign banks in a market with strong regional financial institutions
