Accelerating Infrastructure to Boost Growth and Employment

Accelerating Infrastructure to Boost Growth and Employment

 

Infrastructure is considered a key driver and enabler of economic growth, diversification and global competitiveness. The ability of governments to deliver infrastructure in a conventional direct borrowing or funding mode is diminishing rapidly. It is therefore important to look for ways in which past and present experience can be used to enable public and private decision makers, including those in emerging markets, to find ways forward for accelerated infrastructure delivery.

 

A panel of high-level practitioners discussed ways in which a sustainable up-lift of infrastructure modernisation can be delivered, based on positive experience gained in the EBRD countries and other emerging markets.
