In this episode, we discuss…
- The importance of private financing to mobilise the scale of investments required for Southeast Asia to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
- The need for governments to provide stable regulatory frameworks to bolster private financing for the region.
- The potential risks that could affect the bankability of infrastructure projects.
- Why coordinated efforts are vital among procuring governments, state utilities and private-sector players, to ensure that projects happen in a sensible way.
- The difference between green loans and conventional loans, and how Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors will eventually become a hygiene factor in financing.

Governments alone cannot mobilise the scale of this investment that is required for the region to reach net zero by 2050. The key is to mobilise private sector financing and to do that, governments have an important role in creating that pathway for private financing to come to the market.
