Connect with the GI Hub to contribute to improving infrastructure

The GI Hub strongly believes in the importance and value of collaboration across the infrastructure community to achieve common goals for better quality infrastructure.

As a global entity, independent of commercial objectives, we are uniquely positioned to create connections and help foster collaboration across the public and private sectors, academia, development banks, and other international organisations. Our connection with the G20 further increases the visibility of our work and its impact.

There are many ways to connect and collaborate with us, as an individual or organisation. We welcome you to learn more about us and get involved through any of the opportunities highlighted below.

The findings and recommendations of this coalition will be presented to the G20 Presidency, Financial Stability Board (FSB), and Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Secretariat.

Regulatory Capital Charges and Infrastructure as an Asset Class

In our role supporting the G20’s infrastructure agenda, the GI Hub is acting on the G20 Eminent Persons Group recommendation of a case for infrastructure as an asset class, distinct from generic corporate exposures with its own differentiated risk profile. We're uniquely positioned to act as a trusted facilitator in private and public sector consideration of this issue. View our report on Infrastructure Debt Capital Charges for Insurers, and contact us for more information.
