At any given moment, more than 200 large public and private capital investment projects, each worth at least $500 million, are in progress globally. Thousands more valued at $100 million are under way.
These gargantuan numbers are bound to become even bigger. An estimated $53 trillion needs to be invested in public infrastructure by 2030 to keep the global economy on a firm path to recovery, according to a recent study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development supported by Oliver Wyman’s Global Risk Center.
