Although most governments have had to focus on direct provisions surrounding the Coronavirus crisis this year, Asia’s need for infrastructure has not diminished. It is therefore likely that we will see an infrastructure boom over 2021 as governments look to re-invigorate their economies. This panel sets its eyes on the future, considering:

• The end of 2020 will be crucial for lining up these projects. Where should ECAs and banks look to sniff out next year’s large capex deals?
• Will we see governments changing the type of projects they mandate? Will they re-focus around social infrastructure and energy transition given this year’s happenings?
