This move aims to bolster the local infrastructure financing ecosystem and mobilise private capital for Asia's infrastructure needs. The S$30 million set aside under the Financial Sector Development Fund will aid insurers in building infrastructure investment capabilities within the country. The measures come as Singapore seeks to enhance its growth capital ecosystem, following initiatives to bolster equity markets, grow the asset management industry, and support wealth management capabilities.",
