The role of DFIs and IFIs in Implementation of National and Cross-border Investments of Infrastructure Projects
National Development Dnstitutions and multilateral financial organizations are destined to play an important role in achieving Sustainable Development Goals on national as well as regional levels.
Cultivating and implementing cross-border investment infrastructure projects in the areas of end-to-end transport infrastructure, logistics, water balance, manufacturing, environment and resource efficiency, energy and digital infrastructure will facilitate regional economic and social dynamic sustainable development.
In supporting and disseminating this approach, national development institutions and multilateral financial organizations have a great opportunity to combine resources and coordinate their activities in providing finance/technical assistance for trans-border sustainable infrastructure projects.

Digital infrastructure is a foundational service that is necessary to the information technology capabilities of a nation, region, city, or organization. By extension, digital infrastructure is necessary for the economy and quality of life of a modern nation.
This session will discuss the DFIs initiative when it comes to adapting its urban management to a predominantly digital environment. Digital infrastructure provides support for all aspects of urban management, providing significant competitive advantages such as cost savings, process automation, or knowledge acquisition. This includes the companies that lay fiber optic cables, IoT objects that collect data, or the possibility of completing bureaucratic processes online.

Logistics and agriculture are an important part of a local community as it contributes to the food supply and provides economic as well as environmental impacts. For agricultural operations to function and continue, they require support systems and facilities (infrastructure), to remain viable. This infrastructure in some cases can be specific to agriculture, and in others used by the public as well.
This session will discuss the shift from Transport Corridors to Economic Corridors including transport connectivity and food security in Asia and the Pacific. It will also include DFI’s experiences and initiatives in financing bankable transport & logistics infrastructure (toll roads, dry ports, terminals, cold storages, rolling stock and equipment, etc.); as well as syndicated financing of transport & logistics infrastructure.

Infrastructure development lies at the nexus of economic growth, productive investment, job creation, and poverty reduction. Financing the huge investment gaps in Emerging Market Economies (EMEs) is paramount to attaining the SDGs. This priority keeps being stressed by the G20, along with an explicit mandate for the MDBs. In the past, government budgets, banks, and international donors were the traditional funding sources in most EMEs.
This session will discuss DFI’s Institutional capacity initiatives, investment vehicles, credit enhancement instruments used, and the role of National currencies in mutual payments and financing SMEs. It will also showcase DFIs’ best practices of financial credits for government budget support and balance-of-payments support as well as Grants to finance government programs in the social sector.

Investment positively impacts the development of regions and investees. It contributes to socioeconomic indicators such as taxes, employment and outputs. Socioeconomic effects may be universal, resulting from any investment project, or specific – associated with certain types of projects and the region where they are implemented.
By financing investment projects, investors produce indirect impacts on the social and environmental situation in the relevant areas and seek to minimise environmental and social risks and maximise the positive effects of their investment.
The session will discuss opportunities and instruments for financing investment projects and present case studies of successful initiatives in Kazakhstan. It will also demonstrate examples and best practices from international banks in arranging financing for investment projects that promote the region’s sustainable development.
