INDONESIA OPTIMISTIC ASIA-PACIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE FUND WILL BE APPROVED
Jakarta, April 15 (ANTARA) - Indonesia is optimistic that the formation of the infrastructure fund would be approved by 53 Asia and Pacific countries, members of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP).
"At the director general level, it is still approved," Government-Private Business Cooperation Development Director of the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) Bastary Pandji said on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Ministerial Conference on Government-Private Sector Partnership for Infrastructure Development 2010 held by UNESCAP and Bappenas in Jakarta Thursday.
He said that unless there is a change, on April 17, 2010, an approval of ministerial level will be given followed by the formation of a task force to realize the idea.
He also said that the funding may come from various countries or private banks members of UNESCAP. He said the infrastructure institution may take the form of Bank Infrastructure for the Asia and Pacific.
"This is not yet official, it will be settled at ministerial level on Saturday," he said.
He added that Indonesia needs 150 billion US dollars in infrastructure funding for the next five years, while the total amount needed reached 750 billion dollars.
"The funds are needed for the development of economic power," Noeleen Heyzer said.
