Singapore’s Green Investments Partnership raises $655m at first close

It will fund green and sustainable infrastructure in Southeast and South Asia.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said the Green Investments Partnership (GIP) has raised $655m (US$510m) at its first close.

The fund, part of Singapore’s Financing Asia’s Transition Partnership (FAST-P) initiative, will finance green and sustainable infrastructure projects in Southeast and South Asia.

The investments will target renewable energy, electric vehicle infrastructure, sustainable transport, water and waste management, and other sectors critical to the region’s energy transition

Investors include MAS, the Australian Government through Export Finance Australia, International Finance Corporation, FMO, HSBC, Temasek, British International Investment, Bank of the Philippine Islands, and Allied Climate Partners. The European Commission is also supporting GIP through its Global Gateway programme.

Pentagreen Capital, established by HSBC and Temasek, will manage the fund. It will focus on providing debt financing for climate-related infrastructure projects that are considered marginally bankable — those that have traditionally struggled to attract financing due to perceived risks, particularly in the development and construction phases.

Launched in 2023, FAST-P brings together public, private and philanthropic capital to close Asia’s climate finance gap. GIP is the first FAST-P fund to reach first close.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
