Some of the most crucial investments in ASEAN to be made in the short to medium-term are around that of infrastructure, and making the right decisions will enable economies to grow in a sustainable, inclusive way, contributing to the achievement of the UN SDGs. Imagine Switzerland without its railways or a UK without Heathrow Airport. These systems are integral to the economic vibrancy of their countries, and even now continue to be developed to ensure a robust and resilient foundation for future economic and social prosperity.
Sustainable infrastructure, and the financing of this are two sides of the same coin – ultimately the objective is for ASEAN countries to put the infrastructure building blocks in place to enable sustained investment and growth, creating a legacy that will benefit ASEAN and its many citizens, businesses and nations for generations to come. In a post-COVID 19 world this becomes even more important, as having the right sort of infrastructure, sustainably funded and operated, will form one of the critical blocks for the region to attract further investments.
