Cross-border investment into low-carbon infrastructure
An empirical glance
This working paper provides a granular overview of investments into low-carbon infrastructure,
both in the real economy and financial market. The descriptive analysis shows that
there is room to scale up cross-border infrastructure investment and to shift investment
into low-carbon assets. Specifically, low-carbon cross-border investment can be increased
by shifting infrastructure investments, that currently flow into the financial economy,
to the real economy and by incentivising the use of financing instruments, i.e., securitised
products, that bundle projects and meet different liquidity tastes of investors. The
analysis also highlights the important role of foreign direct investment (FDI) into
infrastructure from foreign real economy companies.
