This was the focus of the recent Indonesia Development Talks webinar, which explored how green, social, sustainable, and other labeled (GSS+) bonds can support local investment in infrastructure, climate resilience, and essential services. Our new blog captures key takeaways from the discussion, drawing on @ADB_HQ publication, Mobilizing Capital for Local Government Finance, and highlighting what is needed to scale these financing solutions. To help put these lessons into action, ACGF’s GSS+ Initiative is engaging subnational governments to develop issuance‑ready GSS+ transactions—supporting project selection, framework design, institutional capacity building, and market engagement. 🔗 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗴: aseaninfrastructurefund.org/blogs/mobilizi… 🎥 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿: events.development.asia/learning-event… 📘 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: adb.org/sites/default/… 🔎 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗚𝗦𝗦+: adb.org/publications/g… #SustainableFinance #LocalGovernmentFinance #GSSBonds #ADB #ACGF #AIF

Developed by OJK with technical assistance from ADB through the ASEAN Catalytic Green Finance Facility and its partners, @theGCF and the @FCDOGovUK, the roadmap provides a clear framework to help:   • Strengthen Indonesia’s sustainable capital market ecosystem   • Align market practices with international standards and build investor confidence   • Expand sustainable finance products, including GSS+ bonds and sukuk   • Mobilize more capital for Indonesia’s green transition and long-term climate goals As demand for sustainable finance grows, the roadmap can help turn national priorities into stronger market opportunities and support Indonesia’s transition toward a more resilient, competitive, and climate-aligned economy. #SustainableFinance #GreenFinance #CapitalMarkets #ClimateFinance #GSSBonds #Indonesia

As Southeast Asia’s energy demand continues to grow, regional connectivity will be critical to unlocking reliable, affordable, and cleaner power at scale. The RCF is a key output of the AIF Action Plan 2025–2028, developed under Malaysia’s AIF leadership and carried forward under the Philippines’ 2026 ASEAN Chairship. With initial funding of around $25 million, the RCF will support ASEAN institutions, member states, and public and private sector project developers through: • Project preparation and technical studies • Engineering design and financial structuring • Policy, regulatory, and capacity-building support 🤝 Supported by partners including @AusAmbASEAN, @CanadaASEAN, @EUinASEAN, Germany’s International Climate Initiative, and @ukmissionasean, the RCF reflects a commitment to advancing ASEAN’s energy future together. 🎥 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼. 📖 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗔𝗗𝗕 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲: adb.org/news/adb-launc… 🔎 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲: aseaninfrastructurefund.org
