THE BRIEF
1

An expert panel appointed by Kerala's UDF government recommended winding up the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board.

2

The panel suggested absorbing KIIFB's functions directly into the State government since its borrowing function has been clubbed with the state budget.

3

KIIFB previously boosted infrastructure investment through extra-budgetary resources like Masala Bonds following the 2019 floods.
