Quality, sustainable and transparently sourced infrastructure helps drive productivity, economic development and resilient societies.
We invest in quality infrastructure with a focus on long term development and economic outcomes, climate resilience, local content and sustainable financing. The availability of reliable and quality infrastructure enhances economic well-being, helps mitigate the impacts of climate change, strengthens resilience, improves security and bolsters access to educational and health opportunities.
Strategic direction
Australia is responding to the infrastructure needs of our partners. We support infrastructure investment that is transparent, meets genuine needs, delivers long term benefits and does not impose an unsustainable debt burden. We do this by focussing on enabling the delivery of quality infrastructure across a range of key sectors including energy, telecommunications, airports, ports and water, and ensuring we adhere to the highest international standards of debt sustainability. Our support includes a growing portfolio of blended finance investments catalysing much needed private sector finance.
