BlackRock and MAS to launch debt program for decarbonization projects in SEA

They seek to raise around US$5b from public and private sources.

BlackRock, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI), and AIA Group have signed an agreement to create an infrastructure debt program to support decarbonization projects across Southeast Asia.

The Industrial Transformation infrastructure debt program seeks to raise around US$5b from public, private, and philanthropic sources to finance transition projects in the region.

Under the agreement, the parties will explore ways to provide debt financing to private-sector borrowers working to reduce carbon emissions.

They will focus on projects in (a) hard-to-abate sectors, (b) technology for low-carbon solutions, and (c) industrial opportunities.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
