2 About GIIA There has never been a more important time for the infrastructure investor community to come together to create a unified voice for the industry. The OECD has estimated that by 2030 over US$50 trillion of investment is required worldwide to upgrade and build the infrastructure needed to meet future demand. With Government balance sheets heavily constrained, private investment must be part of the solution to deliver the essential assets and services that infrastructure represents. The Global Infrastructure Investor Association (GIIA) is a global advocacy association representing equity investors in global infrastructure and those associated with the asset class. GIIA works in partnership with governments and regulators to achieve our shared ambition of increasing infrastructure investment. We aim to do this by building public understanding of the positive role played by private investors in long-term infrastructure investment and supporting governments, regulators and other policy-makers in developing and maintaining supportive and stable regulatory environments to facilitate further investment. GIIA is unique in being the only body representing the leading global investors in the unlisted infrastructure industry. Our members span six continents and manage more than $400 billion in infrastructure assets around the world. Our associate members include many of the leading professional service firms that support the sector. Through positive advocacy, specific interventions and networking events, GIIA is at the forefront of the sector s engagement with political leaders, policy makers and regulators promoting an environment where private investment will enable societies to realise their ambitions for world class infrastructure.
