APIP was established as a regional structure to initiate dialogues within APEC economies between governments, business, multilateral development banks and academics on complex infrastructure matters. Essentially, APIP is a PPP Experts Panel.
APIP dialogues frankly and objectively address issues related to infrastructure that often revolve around issues of capacity, collaboration and financial markets.
APIP is comprised of approximately 60 specialists from academia, asset management, commercial banking, investment banking, engineering, property development, information technology, legal and consulting sectors, the ADB, the World Bank and the OECD.
These specialists bring expertise in various aspects of developing, managing, and implementing PPPs to meetings with ministers and senior officials from the region’s economies to provide advice on issues of relevance in encouraging foreign and domestic investment in PPPs.
The Asia-Pacific Infrastructure Partnership (APIP) is an initiative of the ABAC Advisory Group on Financial System Capacity Building.
