The session focused on synergies between financial support and non-financial assistance such as technical expertise, capacity building, networking and innovative solutions. Examples of successful application of such elements in projects were discussed, such as AIIB’s work in India and other member countries, where collaboration with partners has helped address climate risks, knowledge sharing and capacity-building activities.
“Infrastructure projects need to be sustainable, resilient, and meet the needs of the community”, remarked Moderator Yukon Huang, Senior Fellow, Asia Program, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and AIIB IAP Member. “They also need to be financially appealing, make economic sense, and meet environmental and social safeguards.”
The panel discussed how value-added financing elements improve project performance, stakeholder engagement and overall sustainability. Challenges such as financial constraints and regulatory complexities were also addressed.

“AIIB is dedicated to financing infrastructure that is financially sustainable and economically beneficial, ensuring investments do not worsen a country’s debt; (2) socially sustainable, by addressing impacts on vulnerable groups and promoting inclusive access to benefits; and (3) environmentally sustainable, by addressing impacts on the environment and natural resources”, clarified Panelist Andrew Cross, Chief Financial Officer at AIIB.
“The practical reality is that the only way you can solve the infrastructure challenge is by the involvement of the private sector”
Participants concluded by suggesting strategies to improve the effectiveness of value-added finance, including strategic alignment with thematic priorities and active engagement with stakeholders.
