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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
