These agencies have had to adapt to their evolving and vital role in facilitating trade, export and investment in infrastructure. They are taking a larger part in an increasing number of deals, providing more liquidity and taking more risk. Transport infrastructure is one of the largest sectors receiving agency financing today. To spur economic development, Asia’s governments are investing and implementing transport projects, such as railways. Dealmakers interested in maximizing business opportunities in this market have to know the roles agencies play in deal financing, which policies and support are available to them, and get involved in the deals being made across the region.
