Saudi-based IDB plans infrastructure funds for Africa and Asia:
The Saudi-based Islamic Development Bank (IDB) plans to launch two funds focused on Africa and Asia next year, aiming to raise a combined $1 billion to help fill a gap in infrastructure investment among its member countries.
The plans from the IDB, the largest development organization in the Muslim world, follow the launch of a $500 million technology-focused fund in April of this year.
The new funds would help close a deficit in investments for projects such as transportation, energy and sanitation across the two regions, said Mohamed Nouri Jouini, vice president of partnership development.
