Global investment in infrastructure is expected to grow from $4 trillion per year in 2012 to over $9 trillion per year by 2025, with the Asia-Pacific region attracting approximately 60% of this investment (PwC Asia Pacific Outlook to 2025). This session will analyse various aspects of the infrastructure industry such as:
- The main trends developing throughout the year in the industry;
- Key issues for both governments and private sector players in the procurement of infrastructure assets around the region;
- Specific infrastructure requirements in different jurisdictions around Asia-Pacific and the main barriers to overcome in developing projects in these jurisdictions;
- The various roles and responsibilities of investors, lenders, advisers (financial, legal, technical, etc) and multilateral agencies (amongst others) in infrastructure development in Asia-Pacific; and
- Potential ways forward in relation to helping Asia-Pacific countries receive the amount of investment they require in the coming years.
