Facilitate technical dialogue Leverage the Forum s extensive knowledge base and derivate countryspecific recommendations -> Private sessions on Infrastructure Financing in Indonesia, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Egypt in 2015.

17 Regional Acceleration Business Working Group (BWG) Indonesia Making a difference in Indonesia Ongoing and close collaboration with the private sector remains crucial to unlocking the capital necessary to bridge the enduring infrastructure financing gap. In April 2016, the Forum launched the Business Working Group Indonesia (BWG). Recognized and endorsed by the Indonesian government, the BWG serves as a platform for business leaders and key stakeholders to speak with a coordinated business voice, which can contribute to fostering an enabling environment for private sector participation in the financing of major infrastructure projects in Indonesia. Through the BWG, the Forum is convening a multi-stakeholder group that can speak with a unified voice to help the Indonesian government focus on substantive issues of infrastructure financing and development to address ongoing bottlenecks.
