The government is also looking to introduce new financing instruments such as infrastructure bonds and concessional loans. In addition, it is considering a flow-through tax vehicle for specific infrastructure projects, similar to trusts and other investment vehicles. A funding window for proposals under this new financing framework will be provided to public institutions.
