Investment Focuses on Supporting Sustainable Development and Clean-Economy Transition
A global coalition of investors, including Singapore’s Temasek and GIC, has committed US$25 billion to infrastructure investments in emerging markets within the Indo-Pacific region. This initiative is part of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF), an economic alliance initiated by the US in 2022, which includes 13 other participating countries such as Singapore.
The coalition’s investments are aimed at advancing the region’s transition to a green economy. At a recent investor conference organized by IPEF, 20 infrastructure projects, valued at US$6 billion, were presented to investors. These projects cover various sectors such as energy, agriculture, aquaculture, waste management, water, transportation, and industrial parks.
The 20 projects were shortlisted from an initial pool of 69 sustainable infrastructure initiatives, which were valued at US$23 billion. While the remaining projects, worth US$17 billion, were not yet presented to investors, they are considered potential future investment opportunities.
This initiative reflects the growing focus on sustainability and clean-energy solutions within the IPEF region, aligning with the broader goals of economic development and environmental responsibility.
