The Hong Kong budget: most of the port sector should instead move to Shenzhen

1st March 2025 by Andrew Kinloch

As I write in today’s South China Morning Post, in his budget speech on February 26, Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po announced two initiatives related to Hong Kong’s port sector. He allocated HK$215 million (US$27.6 million) for developing a “smart” port by enhancing the flow of data among stakeholders – always welcome – and he said […]

Kai Tak Sports Park: fill it up and enjoy!

17th January 2025 by Andrew Kinloch

As Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Sports Park nears its formal opening after a quarter of a century and HK$30 billion / US$3.9 billion later, we can ask: was it worth it? Spoiler alert: the answer is yes but it now needs to be filled – as I write in the South China and touch on […]

The AIIB in Samarkand – it’s onward and upward

28th September 2024 by Andrew Kinloch

Ah, Samarkand, city of (amongst others) Timur (Tamerlane) … Xuan Zang loved the place when he visited in 630 as did ibn Battuta in 1333, less so Genghis Khan in 1220 and Konstantin von Kaufman in 1868. James Elroy Flecker may not have visited at all in 1913. More recently, in a country characterized as […]

As the UK votes, will revamped PPPs be Rachel’s Get Out of Jail Free card?

23rd June 2024 by Andrew Kinloch

Labour will win the UK general election on 4 July (hey, I’m going out on a limb here) but, in doing so, has allowed the undeserving Conservatives to salt the earth that Labour will inherit. There is to be no new borrowing, no cuts to services and no increases in the major taxes. So where […]

Governments need to step up with more flexible support if the private sector is to finance more water

20th May 2024 by Andrew Kinloch

Today, the tenth World Water Forum opens in Nusa Dua, Bali. High on the list for discussion will be how should cleaner and more reliable supplies of fresh water and treatment / recycling of waste water be financed? And can delegates draw inspiration from ancient Balinese Warrior Frogs to make it happen? All governments’ long […]

MTCs are not always POPS

28th April 2024 by Andrew Kinloch

Maritime Transit Corridors – think canals and land bridges – have made world trade go round – or rather, enabled it to not go around. The Panama canal saves 15,000 km when sailing between one contiguous US coast to the other; the Suez canal saves 8,900 km when sailing between the Arabian Sea and London; […]

Kai Tak transit is taking too long – lessons for the next rail project

14th March 2024 by Andrew Kinloch

Today HK’s Civil Engineering and Development Department shares with Kowloon City District Council a proposal relating to the much delayed light rail line to run the length of the old runway at Kai Tak. In terms of the timing, the proposal is still at only a preliminary stage so the timeframe for building the system […]

Progress at Manila airport but questions remain

29th February 2024 by Andrew Kinloch

The latest news on Manila airport is that the San Miguel – led consortium, SMC – SAP, has won the bid to redevelop Ninoy Aquino International Airport on a PPP basis. Other members of the consortium are the less well – known RMM Asian Logistics and RLW Aviation Development with airport expertise coming from Incheon. […]

What next for COP 28? The inconvenient truth is that it is tax payers who would pay most

30th January 2024 by Andrew Kinloch

Back in 2016, Jamie Dimon dismissed the annual Davos meets as billionaires telling millionaires about how the middle class should work harder to help the poorest class (at least that’s what X / Twitter tells me so it must be true). It was easy to be similarly sceptical about global efforts on climate change when […]

Ten years of Belt & Road: a new focus but both sides still need HK’s expert advice

21st September 2023 by Andrew Kinloch

Congrats to the HK Trade Development Council on hosting this year’s Belt & Road summit ahead of next month’s Forum in Beijing. It is ten years to the month since President Xi Jinping launched what was to become the Belt and Road Initiative in a speech in Kazakhstan (which promptly appointed itself the “buckle” in […]

Singapore Convention Week: expert opinions are needed to inform mediations too

Namaste! The G20 meet in India (or Bharat) needs to help Energy Transition Mechanisms

5th September 2023 by Andrew Kinloch

As the G20 meet this coming weekend at the Bharat Mandapam International Exhibition Convention Centre (IECC) in New Delhi, leaders will be reviewing progress on the Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs) signed with South Africa and Indonesia last year and with Vietnam this year whereby the developed World would finance those countries to build more […]

It’s all about how privatised utilities are regulated – the UK can learn from Hong Kong

12th August 2023 by Andrew Kinloch

The UK water industry, notably Severn – Trent, is the latest example of unacceptable delivery standards – in the case of water, its overflowing storm drains and polluted beaches – alongside fat shareholder returns and high senior management pay arising out of having privatised much of its infrastructure some time ago. Ongoing high Non Revenue […]

Financing energy transition in Asia: how is it going? Podcast with ACFP

29th July 2023 by Andrew Kinloch

Andrew sat down recently with Joseph Jacobelli at the Asia Climate Finance podcast to discuss progress on financing energy transition – how to replace coal fired power generation with renewables – in Asia. The potential deal flow is enormous. But in order to make it happen and save the World, major hurdles need to be […]

View from the delta

14th June 2023 by Andrew Kinloch

As well as meetings with fund managers in HCM, I’m just back from the Mekong delta, access to which is being transformed by new infrastructure. Existing bridges across various distributaries at Cao Lanh, My Thuan and Rach Mieu will shortly be joined by second, equally big, ones currently under construction alongside My Thuan and Rach […]
