Our members have already invested hundreds of billions of dollars, across six continents, in delivering roads, railways, airports, power generation, utilities, broadband, schools and hospitals – all of which are helping communities and nations thrive.
As the leading public pension funds, insurers, sovereign wealth funds and other investors in the sector, many of our members also represent teachers, firemen, public-sector employees and other individual investors. That means not only are pensioners and savers helping to improve the infrastructure that surrounds them, they are benefiting from those investments when planning for their retirement.
“Infrastructure investment flows where there is a clear policy framework supported by fair and transparent regulation. We look forward to working with Governments and Regulators globally to help create the right environment for success.”
It keeps our cities running smoothly, our communities connected, our homes warm and our taps running. It provides the ingredients for a healthy and growing economy enabling us to get to and from our jobs, for commerce to flow and businesses to grow. As well as being crucial to eliminating poverty in emerging markets, efficient infrastructure is vital in keeping countries internationally competitive.
The OECD estimates that more than US$50 trillion is needed by 2030 to upgrade existing and build the required new infrastructure worldwide. But governments are more challenged than ever in raising their own capital, and many countries have not created the right environment to access the private investment funds that are readily available.
The infrastructure investor community has now come together to create a unified voice for the industry. GIIA’s goal is to improve understanding of the role played by private investors in building and operating efficient and effective infrastructure. We will press the case for supportive, stable regulatory environments and an increased pipeline of well-developed projects in order to leverage private investment and expertise.
