Clifford Capital launches platform for Asian infrastructure debt

Singapore

FOLLOWING the success of its pilot issuance of Asia's first infrastructure project finance securitisation last year, Temasek-backed Clifford Capital now has plans to set up a platform to mobilise a new pool of institutional capital for infrastructure debt in Asia.

Also the first of its kind in this region, the platform is expected to be capitalised at US$1.98 billion, comprising US$180 million in equity and US$1.8 billion in debt issuance capacity.
