InfraCredit, a specialised infrastructure credit guarantee institution, has appointed Boo Hock Khoo to its Board as an independent non-executive director.

Khoo is a recognised leader in development finance with nearly three decades of experience establishing and managing credit guarantee institutions that have strengthened local capital markets and expanded access to infrastructure finance across Asia and other emerging economies.

He is the co-founder and Chairman of the Development Guarantee Group (DGG), an institution that brings together global expertise to design and operate guarantee solutions that mobilise private capital for sustainable development.

Through DGG, he helped establish the Green Guarantee Company (GGC), the world’s first solely climate-focused financial guarantor.

He also serves as Chairman of InfraZamin Pakistan, a credit enhancement facility supported by the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG) and Karandaaz to promote local financing for infrastructure.

Previously, he served as Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Danajamin Nasional Berhad, Malaysia’s first financial guarantee insurer, and as Vice President of Operations at the Credit Guarantee and Investment Facility (CGIF), a $700 million ASEAN+3 trust fund managed by the Asian Development Bank.

In these roles, he contributed to strengthening local-currency bond markets and expanding private investment in infrastructure.

Khoo’s leadership across these institutions demonstrates his long-standing commitment to using credit enhancement to deepen domestic capital markets and mobilise private finance for sustainable infrastructure.

“What an honour indeed to support InfraCredit’s continued progress as it is now the global leader in the renaissance of guarantors; recovering the use of guarantees for the developing world. Its success in Nigeria is an inspiration to many countries around the world,” Khoo said.

Speaking on Boo Hock’s appointment, Sanjeev Gupta, Chairman, Board of Directors, InfraCredit, stated: “I am delighted to welcome Khoo to our Board. As co-founder of the Development Guarantee Group and a pioneer of guarantor institutions across Asia and other emerging markets, he brings deep expertise in credit enhancement and market development.

Chief Executive Officer of InfraCredit, Chinua Azubike, noted: “With nearly three decades in finance spanning credit ratings, project advisory, and guarantee operations, with extensive expertise in credit enhancement and market development, Khoo brings firsthand expertise from Asia’s success stories to support InfraCredit’s growth.
