53068-003 - Promoting Action on Plastic Pollution from Source to Sea in Asia and the Pacific - Prioritizing and Implementing Actions to Reduce Marine Plastic Pollution (Subproject 2): Technical Assistance

Indonesia is pursuing broad infrastructure expansion in transport, energy, power grids and urban services to support its goal of becoming a high-income economy by 2045. Major reforms and blended finance packages backed by institutions like the World Bank seek to strengthen electricity networks, expand access to clean energy and enhance financial and digital infrastructure. The government is also promoting private sector participation through public–private partnerships, streamlined project facilitation and innovative financing mechanisms to bridge a large funding gap. Despite strong long-term growth prospects, geographic dispersion, financing constraints and regulatory complexity remain challenges to realising the full potential of infrastructure investment.

Vietnam prioritizes highway expansion, port development, renewable energy, and digital infrastructure to support export-led industrialization. Major investments enhance manufacturing competitiveness and integration into global supply chains. Financing includes state budgets, public-private partnerships, and substantial foreign direct investment. Urban congestion, energy demand growth, and environmental sustainability are key challenges shaping future infrastructure planning.
