CG/LA Infrastructure is proud to present 2009 Global Infrastructure Competitiveness Rankings Report; an 85-page analytic overview of key facts relevant to the business of infrastructure development.

The current crisis has dramatically altered the global infrastructure landscape -- what was a declining business throughout the region is now the sector that must both protect the real economy from the worst effects of the financial crisis, and power those economies through the crisis.

2009 Global Infrastructure Competitiveness Rankings aims to provide business executives with a clear briefing on global infrastructure demand based on specific project intel and global spend projections, focusing particularly on key challenges, areas of opportunity in 2009 and areas to avoid.

New Features included in the 2009 Global Infrastructure Competitiveness Rankings include:

The Country Infrastructure Creation (CIC) Score is a proprietary metric developed by CG/LA, based on our experience with project development. The CIC Score measures a country’s ability to support the development of infrastructure. The CIC Score ranges from 1 (lowest) through 10 (highest) and is calculated by equally weighting capacity in the following 8 areas:

The CIC score helps investors decide whether a project might go forward, helps project developers decide on their strategy, and helps countries identify - and address - their weaknesses.

Government Infrastructure Investment Projections 2008 - 2013: CG/LA's individual country infrastructure investment projections highlight the public sector’s ability to invest in key infrastructure initiatives by taking current investment figures (as a percentage of GDP) and projecting out through 2013 based on GDP projections from the IMF, as well as on each country’s infrastructure investment plans (such as Brazil’s PAC program and the portion of the US fiscal stimulus allocated to real infrastructure development. The global average investment in infrastructure is 2.5% of GDP. This percentage is in danger of decreasing as the current economic crisis grips countries that rely on foreign direct investment and on debt financing. It is the public sector’s responsibility to make necessary investments in priority infrastructure projects in their country, while working with the private sector to ensure that their country does not lose its respective competitive edge and fall behind in terms of technological innovations and infrastructure advancements.
