Global 2015 Report

2015 Infrastructure Report to be Released Among Gathering of the Top 100 Global Infrastructure Projects at the 5th Annual Global Leadership Forum

In its Annual Report on Global Infrastructure to be released in Washington, DC and London next month, CG/LA Infrastructure, the leading expert on infrastructure demand, is calling on governments from developed and emerging markets - especially including countries in Latin America and Africa, and the countries of the Arab Spring - to increase infrastructure investment in order to create jobs, as well as to support the construction and engineering industries and other sectors of the global economy.

The report highlights the role that infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, mass transit and ports must play in generating growth, and opportunity. It details infrastructure demand and spending in 80 countries over the past 20 years and projects the rate of investment through 2015 under three different GDP scenarios.

Key Findings of the Report include:

Infrastructure Clusters - are emerging in countries and regions including China, Brazil, Canada and Australia. Among the BRIC's, India and Russia are falling behind
Investment in Greatest among Commodity Producers - Areas of greatest activity tend to be found in areas that are involved in the global commodity boom, so Brazil, China and parts of Latin America and Africa have booming infrastructure sectors
Key Sectors Continue to Lag - while investment in electricity and highways will account for 65% of investments in infrastructure, water distribution and waste-water treatment will receive less than 9% of total investments
Investment in Infrastructure Projects in the U.S. is Declining - Currently, investments in US projects make up 11% of the global infrastructure markets, but rather than increasing with economic recovery, investments are declining
Africa is Emerging as an Infrastructure Hot Spot - Counties like South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and others are preparing for significant infrastructure investments - investors see Africa 'as where Latin America was 20 years ago.'

CG/LA will release the report as part of a breakfast discussion on the future and growth of infrastructure projects at its 5th Annual Global Infrastructure Leadership Forum in London from February 22-24. The panel will include Enrique Garcia (Chairman,CAF, The Latin American Development Bank) Terry Newendorp (Chairman and CE, Taylor DeJong), Huw Thomas (Partner, Foster + Partners) and Lixing Zou (Vice President, China Development Bank.)
