The Gulf Infrastructure Fund (GIF) said that it will partner with public-sector institutions across the Gulf countries to structure and deliver essential, high-impact infrastructure projects.

The GIF will focus on mobilising capital and expertise for projects, it said in a statement. 

The fund collaborates with ministries, municipalities, utilities, development finance institutions, EPCs, and private investors through PPPs, concessions, and BOT/BOOT models.  

The fund’s priority sectors include transport (roads, rail, ports, and airports), energy (renewables, conventional, andtransmission), water & sanitation, digital infrastructure (fiber, 5G, and data centers), as well as urban development and housing.

No details were given on GIF's funding strategy.
