Understanding Key Credit Risks in the Digital Infrastructure Sector

Investors across Asia-Pacific have shown increased appetite in Digital Infrastructure debt supported by the sector’s stable, predictable cash flows and the mission-critical nature of its assets. At the same time, demand for data consumption continues to grow rapidly, supported in part by the increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As a result, direct lending has become a preferred funding source for the sector, particularly among private debt funds and asset managers, as well as through project finance and Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) structures.

Join us to explore how S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Credit Assessment Scorecards provide a valuable framework for assessing and quantifying credit risk, with access to benchmarks and attribute-driven scoring guidelines that support origination, credit approval, and ongoing monitoring workflows.
