Economic infrastructure is driven by financial return and viability. There are a number of issues for both the public and private sector in the delivery of these types of projects, which require balancing policy outcomes and community issues and quality service delivery.
Economic infrastructure projects are generally capital-intensive. They include sectors such as transport (road, rail), port facilities and airports. Projects of this nature generally rely on demand and/or a form of subsidy paid by the government to meet the provision of facilities and services.
As with all infrastructure projects, the optimal assessment and transfer of risk in arrangements between the public and private sector is often a difficult and key part of project delivery.
