UK development investor BII commits $30m to SG climate fund

The fund backs a BlackRock-managed industrial decarbonisation programme.

The UK's British International Investment (BII) has committed $30m to a decarbonisation financing programme under Singapore’s Financing Asia’s Transition Partnership (FAST-P).

The investment will go to the Industrial Transformation Programme (ITP), managed by BlackRock through its infrastructure credit platform within Global Infrastructure Partners.

The ITP is one of three pillars under FAST-P, a blended finance initiative launched by MAS to mobilise up to $5b for transition projects in South-East Asia.

BII said the funding, structured as a junior tranche, is designed to crowd in commercial capital into the senior tranche by taking on higher risk.

The programme finances companies seeking to decarbonise operations, including firms in hard-to-abate sectors and low-carbon technology providers.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
