NUMBER OF THE DAY

That’s how big the private credit market in Asia-Pacific is expected to become by 2027.

💰 Win-win: Private credit allows companies to quickly raise capital from funds or private investors. It’s more expensive than a bank loan but far more flexible. For investors, it offers the appeal of higher returns.

🏗️ Focus areas: The strongest demand is in infrastructure — from renewable energy and transport to digital connectivity. Across emerging Asian markets (excluding China), there’s an annual financing gap of around 1.7 trillion USD.

📈 Why it’s booming: Banks are lending less, while new regulations are empowering private credit funds. They step in where traditional banks hesitate — especially in the mid-market segment.
