With an Infrastructure deficit estimated at approximately $1.5trn over the next 10 years, it is evident that a broad range of funding sources, financing options and structuring approaches would be required to bridge the Infrastructure gap.
From an economic growth perspective, the advancement of infrastructure stock is a critical initiative in countries for development and facilitating private sector investments and competitiveness.”
