GIIA welcomes new CBI report 'Investing in Infrastructure'.

GIIA was pleased to contribute to the CBI’s new report titled ‘Investing in Infrastructure – Sourcing the Finance to Build Back Better’.

We welcome the acknowledgement of the vital role that private investment plays in delivering the modern, efficient and socially responsible infrastructure needed for future generations and the 13 recommendations the report makes.

In particular GIIA welcomes those recommendations calling on the Government to provide more clarity around the role they see for private investment in delivering many of the nation’s major infrastructure projects.

Speaking on the release of the report, GIIA CEO Lawrence Slade said:

“At a time when Government spending is rightly focused on both the social and economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, the private sector has the expertise and innovative ideas, and  stands ready to help address the UK’s long term infrastructure challenges while playing a significant role in the UK’s economic recovery.”
