Grant Description

The Republic of the Philippines has made infrastructure development a national priority and has identified Public-Private Partnerships as the primary means of attracting private capital to the infrastructure sector.

However, available domestic financing for infrastructure is limited by a number of regulatory and structural obstacles in the local capital market.

GDIF is initiating a new engagement which will facilitate infrastructure finance by assisting the government in its broader efforts to improve the local corporate bond market.
