Equitable Development in SE Asia

“… In my view Equitable Development means Inclusive Development leaving no one behind.

  2. Self Sufficiency besides Food Security also include optimal utilizationof local resources, lessen dependence on imports and mitigate against foreign exchange risks “In times of trade and geo-political strive currency is often use as a tool for manipulation”

Panel: What’s the future of LNG project financing post-COVID 19?

Our President Director was invited to present his views on this topic. Alan raises the question in times of crisis when budgets are stressed, should major LNG Infrastructure projects be scaled-down for affordability? Small scale LNG offers accessibility and connectivity via virtual pipeline to wider regions to promote domestic growth and clean energy. Financing for SSLNG projects requires creditworthiness of off-takers and mitigation of counter-party risks and can be a challenge in itself to underwrite municipal and end customer’s risks. In conclusion, Alan sees blended finance as a tool to be utilized, as public sector and municipalbudgets can be leveraged by private investors funds to accelerate development of small-scale LNG projects. Most countries in Asia increasingly prefer payments in local currencies hence bilateral swaps arrangements and hedging costs needs to competitive for future project financing.

Introductory Comments


Our President Director Alan Lau highlights the need for a more inclusive PPP model for development of infrastructure projects.

Catalysing Capitalism Through Public-Private Partnerships

Alan presented his views on the need to have a more inclusive PPP model for development of infrastructure projects. The present emphasis on Value of Money for PPP project greenlight decision does not enhance Inclusive Prosperity, hence an approach to incorporate community values and community participation in long-term PPP projects is required leaving no one behind. A bottom up approach in initiating community projects by itself is insufficient as political will and inclusive fiscal policies are needed for a new PPP model to be sustainable. This can be achieved through incorporation of a national social foundation, village or community trusts to receive proceeds from infrastructure projects and to allocate and distribute funds to regions and communities that need assistance and development most. This vehicle shall be a stakeholder and shall benefit from long-term revenue streams derived from implementation of social and economic PPP projects throughout the project life-cycle. A framework is hence required, supported by revenue distribution and oversight mechanism to the poorest provinces, villages and remote communities to improve basic infrastructure and quality of life. Focusing on community and human development as core objectives will catalyse Capitalism as currently practiced, towards a more social, humanistic, resilient and sustainable system for inclusive development.
