Although allocations to emerging markets can carry added risk, asset owners such as GIC and Indonesia Investment Authority (INA) are adding to their already substantial investments in infrastructure funding. Global sovereign wealth funds have been a significant force in the funding of major infrastructure projects across the Asia region. GIC forecasts that global infrastructure investment needs are expected to total around USD 70 trillion between now and 2040. Its latest investment in the sector is backing the expansion of Indonesia’s toll road network. The USD 1 billion investment, made in association with Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation, is for a 35% stake in Jasamarga Transjawa Tol (JTT), a subsidiary of the Indonesian state-owned toll road operator, PT Jasa Marga. JTT is a network of 13 toll roads in the provinces of West, Central, and East Java.

More and more investors are making environmental and social impact a primary criterion for receiving funds, prompting investment management institutions like Indonesia Investment Authority (INA) and Yayasan Kehati to focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) aspects. Yayasan Kehati, through the establishment of the SRI-Kehati index in collaboration with the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) since 2009, aims to increase awareness and implementation of ESG among issuers to attract sustainable investment flows. "So what we are looking at is not only the sector or size, but also the impact," said the Chief Risk Officer of the Indonesia Investment Authority (INA). As a sovereign wealth fund, INA collaborates with major investors to inject capital into various sectors, including green energy and transformation, toll road and port infrastructure, as well as digital and healthcare infrastructure. Two key considerations in investments are measurable impact and return on investment.

Indonesia Investment Authority (INA), the country's sovereign wealth fund, is looking to tap overseas investors as it seeks to deepen its focus on green investments, a top INA officer told reporters on Thursday.

INA has previously invested in Indonesian geothermal firm PT Pertamina Geothermal Tbk. INA along with Abu Dhabi renewable energy firm Masdar acquired a 20% stake in Pertamina Geothermal in February last year for USD 480 million. Besides geothermal energy, INA is also reviewing solar power and nature-based solutions such as mangrove restoration. INA will directly invest in sustainable or green projects alongside external foreign investors from regions like the US, Europe, and the Middle East.
