The China Exim Bank, one of China’s two main policy banks, announced this week that it teamed up with Singaporean real estate investment firm ARA to close a deal for a one-billion-dollar infrastructure development fund to finance sustainable energy, telecommunications projects, and other low-carbon transportation initiatives in the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
