FAST – Infra (‘Finance to Accelerate the Sustainable Transition – Infrastructure’) Background to FAST-Infra

The briefing describes FAST-Infra (Finance to Accelerate the Sustainable Transition – Infrastructure), a public-private partnership designed to increase private investment in sustainable infrastructure within developing countries. The initiative focuses on creating a sustainable infrastructure labeling system and developing four specific market mechanisms to mobilize capital.

• FAST-Infra is establishing a sustainable infrastructure label intended to guide governments and developers during the pre-construction phase toward building resilient assets with minimal environmental impact, while assisting institutional investors in the post-construction phase with refinancing.
• The initiative is developing four pilot financing solutions to mobilize private capital: a Technology Enabled Securitization Platform using natural language processing to analyze project terms; a global provider for off-take revenue or liquidity guarantees to make power purchase agreements bankable; an Open-sourced Managed Co-Lending Portfolio Programme (OMCPP) based on an IFC model; and a Sustainable Financing Facility (SFF) to provide lending to National Development Banks for sustainable projects.
• FAST-Infra operates as a collaborative platform involving nearly 100 institutions, including global investors (such as Temasek and Swiss Re), financial intermediaries (such as HSBC and JPM), development finance institutions (such as the World Bank and ADB), and governments from the UK, US, France, Germany, and Japan.
