Leaders of banks and investment firms called for innovative financing mechanisms for the China-proposed “One Belt, One Road” (B&R) initiative during the Silk Road Forum, which ran from Monday to Tuesday. There is a huge gap between the funding demand and the need for infrastructure, which requires the participation of different parties including the government, multilateral development banks, investment institutions and private funds, Ding Xuedong, chairman and CEO of China Investment Corp, told a session of the forum on Tuesday.
“Progressive development is a feasible way, which involves selling profitable [infrastructure] projects in order to invest in new ones,”
It is extremely important that thorough preparations are made for infrastructure projects, which should follow investment standards while fully taking into account different investment climates, Natalie Khanjenkova, managing director of Turkey and Central Asia of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, told the Global Times after the session.
