The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is developing a new platform to attract private capital for infrastructure projects in Asia. This initiative aims to significantly increase the mobilization of private funds, potentially quadrupling current levels. The platform will enable institutional investors, such as insurers and pension funds, to co-invest in infrastructure debt alongside the AIIB on a programmatic basis across its 111 member countries. This approach contrasts with the current deal-by-deal negotiation process. AIIB's Chief Investment Officer, Kim-See Lim, stated the initiative is in its early stages, with more details anticipated in six to nine months. The announcement followed a conference co-hosted by the AIIB and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.
