Foreword
In 2009, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the ADB Institute projected infrastructure needs for developing Asia from 2010 to 2020 in Infrastructure for a Seamless Asia (Seamless Asia). The study covered 32 of ADB’s 45 developing member countries (DMCs) and four sectors: transport, power, telecommunications, and water supply and sanitation. It projected that total investment needs for the four infrastructure sectors would be slightly above $8 trillion (in 2008 prices) over the 11-year period, or almost $750 billion a year.
This report updates these estimates by presenting infrastructure investment needs for all 45 DMCs from 2016 to 2030, the final year of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Two sets of estimates are presented. The first includes the costs of climate mitigation and adaptation (climate-adjusted estimate). Using this set of estimates, developing Asia will need to invest $26 trillion over the 15-years from 2016 to 2030, or $1.7 trillion per year. The second set of estimates does not include climate-adjusted costs (baseline estimate), and amounts to $22.6 trillion, or $1.5 trillion per year.
The baseline estimates are generated closely following the methods of Seamless Asia, but using more refined data and deriving key parameters from ADB project experience and the latest literature. The climate-adjusted estimates add the costs of climate mitigation and adaptation to the baseline estimates based on recent ADB studies. Incorporating the effects of climate change on infrastructure investment needs is one important contribution of this report.
The second contribution of the report is that it provides a detailed analysis of infrastructure investment gaps. The estimates of infrastructure needs are compared with current investment levels to get a concrete sense of the gaps countries need to bridge. Based on an assessment of how much the public sector can invest in infrastructure with public finance reforms, the report provides a sense of how much private finance will be required for developing Asia to meet its infrastructure needs and what policies will allow this to happen.
The third contribution of the report relates to measurement of infrastructure investment. Given the lack of comprehensive data on actual infrastructure investment data across countries, this report seeks to better understand how much countries have been investing in infrastructure by considering several ways of measuring infrastructure investments. It adopts a benchmark measure that relies on country infrastructure expenditures from government budget documents plus information on private investment in infrastructure from a World Bank database. There is certainly room for improvement on measurement of infrastructure investments, and the report suggests a way forward through collaboration between national accounts statisticians in the region and international agencies.
The preparation of this report was helped by the active cooperation of colleagues from many different parts of ADB. Staff from ADB’s regional departments and resident missions provided insights on country budget data to better capture public sector investments in infrastructure. Experts from ADB’s sector and thematic groups shared data and provided assistance in estimating the costs of different types of infrastructure. Many colleagues also contributed to the report’s policy discussion and boxes highlighting special issues. This collaborative approach should provide a good basis for future ADB dialogue and engagement with relevant authorities.
As ADB celebrates its first 50 years of operations, I am confident this report will be useful for both experts and policy makers as they search for efficient and effective ways of providing the infrastructure that is prerequisite to sustainable and inclusive growth in Asia and the Pacific.

Highlights
• Developing Asia will need to invest $26 trillion from 2016 to 2030, or $1.7 trillion per year, if the region is to maintain its growth momentum, eradicate poverty, and respond to climate change (climate-adjusted estimate). Without climate change mitigation and adaptation costs, $22.6 trillion will be needed, or $1.5 trillion per year (baseline estimate).
• Of the total climate-adjusted investment needs over 2016–2030, $14.7 trillion will be for power and $8.4 trillion for transport. Investments in telecommunications will reach $2.3 trillion, with water and sanitation costs at $800
