Infrastructure

How do you navigate the present while building for the future?
In the face of a global recession, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that 70% of G20 stimulus money will be invested in infrastructure.

In Australia, the additional strain of rapidly growing demand on our infrastructure means that for us this is one of the most important challenges for the next decade. While many believe that we will see a rebound in growth in 2010, infrastructure projects will still require financing through additional government debt or private investment. As well, the changing and often conflicting needs of stakeholders continue to make the process of building infrastructure a long and complex one.

So how do the stakeholders in this complex market navigate the many issues such as higher levels of gearing, a lack of available credit, volatile energy and commodity prices and the uncertainty of a low carbon economy, just to name a few. An important factor is to make sure that the best market experts in each field collaborate at all stages to ensure that the right choices are made and efficient results are delivered.
