Economics, Policy and Infrastructure Capital

Supporting decision makers in assessing opportunities and navigating challenges to tap future growth

It is crucial for countries to examine their development priorities in order to continuously grow and create positive impact to businesses and society. Businesses from all sectors of the economy will need to behave more strategically to be profitable and sustainable.

Our Economics, Policy and Infrastructure Capital (EPIC) team has significant experience in economics, policy and project finance advisory. Through a close alignment with our wider PwC service offerings, we offer a seamless integration of bespoke services to provide you with valuable insights.

Leveraging our expertise and experience working at the interface of public and private sectors, including government ministries and agencies, as well as regulated industries, we are well positioned to help you assess feasibility of opportunities and make informed business decisions towards achieving your strategic goals.

Helping you make informed policy and investment decisions from strategy to execution

The evolving economic and business landscape is changing priorities across government, businesses and society. This includes policy directions of the government, investment decisions by businesses, as well as how various stakeholders work with each other to maximise socioeconomic benefits.

What are the impacts of particular government programmes, initiatives, and/or projects on particular sectors of society or the broader economy? Are you taking strategic approaches to achieve the desired outcomes and ensure allocation of resources is optimised? What aspects of the business and operating model have to be addressed in the short and long term?

With both local and international experience, our team has provided advice across a broad range of economic, policy and regulatory issues. This includes key economic sectors and social aspects that are critical to businesses and society, such as digital economy, transportation and logistics, agriculture, trade, green growth, tourism, education, and affordable housing.

Our expertise and insights can help shape strategy, build trust, and achieve transformation. We believe these are foundational for public sector institutions to successfully execute reforms, and for the private sector to make strategic decisions to ensure profitable and sustainable growth.

Helping you to build a better future and create value through infrastructure investments

Infrastructure gaps remain significant and governments increasingly need to find alternative funding mechanisms to address them and ensure cost-effective outcomes. At the same time, there is growing interest from investors looking at infrastructure as an asset class. Both sides need to remain agile and relevant to realise value in infrastructure investments and deliver better services to the communities they serve.

Consider these questions:

Do you have a clear and accurate view of your near and long term infrastructure and asset needs to achieve your targeted outcomes?
Are you assessing the value of new opportunities in, or restructuring of, asset intensive investments?
Are you looking for alternative ways to fund or procure assets and projects?

Often at the interface of the public and private sectors, we advise across all stages of the infrastructure project lifecycle, from comprehensive business case and project feasibility advice, through to transaction structuring including public-private partnerships (PPPs). We help clients develop flexible, innovative solutions, that provide the foundation for a project’s successful delivery.
