Paving the way: Maximising the value of private investment in infrastructure
Vast segments of existing infrastructure in the developed world are becoming deficient and the demand for new infrastructure in developing economies is growing. Given the dramatic need for investments in infrastructure at a time when many government budgets are under severe pressure, the role of private capital in financing infrastructure seems more critical than ever.
This World Economic Forum publication, written in collaboration with PricewaterhouseCoopers, outlines the opportunities and the challenges associated with attracting and involving private investors in the provision of infrastructure and shares best practice from successful infrastructure projects, using illustrations from countries that have tapped private finance markets.
