Co-invest
the state can build something that is a platform for or a significant component of a larger private sector investment (e.g., Special Economic Zones; industrial capability through the state’s Critical Infrastructure Fund)
Catalyse
the state can finance infrastructure that is a precondition for scaling investment (e.g., bulk infrastructure, rail and port infrastructure, road networks) and crowd-in private finance and funding through credit enhancement, tax increment financing and other mechanisms that liberate the state to build enabling infrastructure without compromising fiscal headroom
