The physical backbone of trade, mobility, and development.
Infrastructure is where development becomes tangible — ports, corridors, water, digital backbones, and the resilient systems that protect them. The coalition finances the assets that lower the cost of doing everything else.
The global infrastructure gap runs to roughly $15 trillion by 2040, concentrated in the economies that can least self-finance it. De-risked, blended capital is the only realistic path to closing it at pace.
The forces reshaping infrastructure — and where the coalition positions against them.
The financing gap is concentrated where economies can least self-finance it; blended capital is the only realistic bridge.
Fibre, data centres, and climate-resilient design outgrow legacy infrastructure.
Ports and corridors that lower logistics costs compound across the whole economy.
Contracted, availability-based structures deliver long-duration, inflation-linked cash flows.
Pipeline is sourced through member central banks and finance ministries, so every commitment is aligned to a national priority from day one.
Concessional capital, guarantees, and first-loss layers are structured to crowd in private and institutional money at multiples of the coalition’s own outlay.
Every deal carries a capacity-development component — institutions, skills, and data — so results outlast the financing.
Outcomes are tracked against a results framework and independently evaluated, then published — closing the loop between capital and impact.
The coalition is active across 4 focus areas within infrastructure, concentrating capital where the return on development is highest. Indonesia anchors the current book, while the forward pipeline signals where the next tranche of capital is heading. Because the frontier layer compounds faster than the broad sector, early and patient positions capture a disproportionate share of the value created.
These are real markets carrying real currency, policy, and execution risk, and the strategy is built to absorb it. Guarantees, first-loss layers, and blended concessional capital sit between partners and volatility, and no infrastructure position is taken without a clear path to refinancing or exit. Independent evaluation then reviews every outcome against the original thesis and reports above management, not to it.
Capital alone rarely sticks. Each infrastructure commitment pairs financing with the institution-building, data, and skills that let results outlast the loan — so a single project seeds capacity that compounds across the wider economy long after the coalition has been repaid.
Across the coalition’s three secretariats, Asia carries the deepest infrastructure book today — roughly $0.9B committed with a further $0.7B in pipeline. The Américas, África, and Asia each source their own deals, so the portfolio reflects genuinely different market structures rather than a single template applied everywhere.
Infrastructure — market context, coalition portfolio, and impact, visualised. Figures are illustrative for this build.
Infrastructure is among the largest and fastest-moving arenas in development finance, and the coalition treats it as a core allocation rather than a thematic bet. Scale here is measured in the trillions, but the number that drives returns is the rate of change — and on that measure the technology frontier is pulling steadily away from the sector average.
Exhibit 01 rebases the broad sector against that frontier; the widening gap between the two lines is the excess return available to early, patient capital. Exhibit 02 tracks the coalition's own deployment into infrastructure, which has compounded year on year as pipeline has converted into signed commitments. Indexed to 2020 = 100. Digital & resilient infrastructure (frontier) leads the broad sector.

Coalition capital into infrastructure has scaled toward $2.3B a year — a proxy for deployment momentum.
Not all of infrastructure is equal. Activity concentrates in a handful of sub-sectors where capital and capacity can be combined to real effect, and that mix rebalances as markets mature and new segments open up. Reading the shape of the book is the first step in judging both its resilience and its room to grow.
Exhibit 03 breaks the vertical into its components — Ports & logistics leads at 26% of exposure — while Exhibit 04 sets committed capital against the forward pipeline across the coalition's three regional secretariats, a direct read on where the next tranche of deployment is heading.
Ports & logistics is the largest area of activity, at 26% of vertical exposure.

How a deal is financed matters as much as how much. The coalition rarely lends on balance sheet alone; each infrastructure commitment is engineered to crowd in private and institutional capital at a multiple of the coalition's own outlay, so a fixed pool of concessional money moves far more than its face value.
Exhibit 05 shows the instrument mix shifting over time toward blended and guarantee structures that share risk and unlock third-party money. Exhibit 06 ranks single-economy exposures — led by Indonesia at $350M — with concentration kept deliberate but bounded, so no single market is allowed to dominate the book.

Indonesia carries the largest single-economy exposure, at $350M.
Where the coalition places its conviction, and what that conviction produces, are two sides of the same page. Allocation is weighted toward the areas with the highest development return, and every dollar committed is underwritten against a published results framework rather than a headline.
Exhibit 07 shows committed capital across focus areas — weighted toward ports & logistics at 32% — and Exhibit 08 profiles measured impact across five dimensions, strongest on trade cost ↓. These are the outcomes independent evaluation reviews, and the ones the coalition publishes when a project completes.
Allocation concentrates in ports & logistics, at 32% of the book.
On the results framework, measured impact is strongest on trade cost ↓.
Return is only half the mandate; the other half is managing risk and delivering against a clear 2030 target. These are real markets with real currency, policy, and execution risk, and the strategy is built to absorb that volatility while still deploying at scale.
Exhibit 09 plots each sub-sector by risk and return, sized by the capital at work — frontier plays sit upper-right and are deliberately balanced by steadier positions elsewhere. Exhibit 10 tracks progress toward the 2030 target, and Exhibit 11 shows delivery against four operating KPIs — the numbers the coalition reports as rigorously as it reports capital.
Each bubble is a sub-sector, sized by capital at work; frontier plays sit upper-right — higher return, higher risk.

Every position is underwritten against a defined set of risks, each with a structural mitigant.

Stabilisation clauses and multilateral guarantees protect long tenors.
Demand and usage risk
Availability-based contracts shift volume risk away from the asset.

Through 2030, the coalition expects infrastructure to remain a core allocation. Indexed to 2020 = 100. Digital & resilient infrastructure (frontier) leads the broad sector. The near-term priority is converting pipeline into signed commitments while advancing toward the 2030 target — currently about 55% complete. Frontier sub-sectors carry more risk but anchor the return, and are balanced by steadier, income-generating positions elsewhere in the book.
