  • The world needs to invest at least $57 trillion in infrastructure through 2030 just to keep pace with anticipated economic growth
  • Another way to look at the challenge—annual global infrastructure spending will have to rise from about $2.6 trillion in 2013 to over $4.0 trillion by 2030.
  • Yet infrastructure investment may suffer as governments begin to deleverage and face difficult choices between infrastructure and other pressing priorities, such as health care and education.

  • A few examples illustrate how countries have implemented these approaches to reduce needed infrastructure investment.
