Desarrollo de la Infraestructura

The Infrastructure Build: The Right Tools

El enfoque principal de CG / LA es el desarrollo de proyectos de infraestructura. El objetivo es cerrar la brecha que existe entre la estimación de 60,000 billones de dólares de demanda mundial en infrastructura hasta el año 2030 proyectados por la OCDE, y los $ 24 - $ 30 billones en inversiones actuales proyectado por CG / LA. Para hacer frente a este vacío de mas de $ 30 billones, CG / LA se compromete a lo siguiente: seleccionar la estrategia, la organización financiera y las iniciativas - con el sector público -  que ayuden a augmentar drásticamente la creación de proyectos de infraestructura. Las iniciativas fundamentales son:

  Demanda de Infraestructura Global de 2030
