    Episode 22: Lessons learned, challenges ahead (Part 1)

    The Covid-19 pandemic illustrated that infrastructure is vital to ensure the delivery of essential services. Yet, it exposed the lack of resilience of social infrastructure systems and highlighted the impact of business disruption on cash flow and liquidity in sectors such as transportation, issues which could trigger asset repricing and deal restructuring. With global recession in sight, financing will remain a key challenge particularly as countries already face a huge funding gap. The Asset Events+ invited Seth Tan, executive director, Infrastructure Asia, Boon Chin Hau, managing director, head of infrastructure, Asia and emerging markets, GIC; Sandeep Lakhanpal, head, M&A and business development Cube Highways & Transportation Assets Advisors; Siong Ooi, managing director & co-head of debt capital markets, loans & bonds, Asian investment banking division, MUFG Bank; Sajal Kishore, senior director, head of Asia Pacific infrastructure & project finance ratings, Fitch Ratings; and Ray Tay senior vice president, public, project and infrastructure finance group, Moody's Investors Service, to share their views.
