Spotlight on Global Trends in Private Sector Investment in Infrastructure

In the context of a significant infrastructure financing gap and constrained fiscal space in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies—including South Africa—mobilising greater private sector financing and expertise is critical to drive faster economic growth, foster social inclusion and progress towards the achievement of sustainable development goals.

Drawing on insights from the recently published Infrastructure Monitor, Mr Henri Blas from the World Bank-managed Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility–Global Infrastructure Hub (PPIAF-GIHub) will unpack the latest trends in private sector investment in infrastructure across both emerging and advanced economies. The webinar seeks to foster a deeper understanding of emerging patterns, shifts, risks and opportunities, thereby supporting informed and evidence-based infrastructure planning and investment decision-making in developing sustainable, resilient, and inclusive infrastructure while fostering effective partnerships with the private sector.

Join us as the PPIAF-GIHub puts the spotlight on global trends in private sector investment in infrastructure.
