- Infrastructure investment and financing volumes in 2013 vs. 2014;
- Investment in energy, infrastructure and resources;
- Private financing for energy and infrastructure investment;
- Financing volumes for renewables pulling ahead of conventional volumes;
- The UN Climate Change Conference in 2015 – governments looking for evidence that renewables can attract capital;
- Government activity in infrastructure procurement;
- Financing in energy, transport and other infrastructure and the changing economic and demographic requirements;
- Reforms and fostering private sector investments in key infrastructure sectors;
- Relatively small pool of commercial banks active in the international project finance arena;
- The adaption to multi-source financing plans: accessing export credit agencies, multilateral agencies, development banks, and of course local and regional commercial banks;
- Demand for quality long term-assets (by pension funds, life insurance companies, other institutional or hold-to-maturity investors);
- Governments in Asia understanding the need to improve infrastructure;
- Level of private sector involvement in the delivery of infrastructure across Asia;
