The GI Hub supported Brazil’s infrastructure finance and funding policy by advising on the approach for data collection and analysing sources of infrastructure finance on a country level. GI Hub’s main contribution was to bring out key issues in data collection, such as identifying gaps in public data and, where appropriate, understanding approaches taken by other governments looking for similar data.
Focus areas
The focus areas were:
Developing data-driven insights for policymakers
Infrastructure as an asset class.
Stakeholder engagement
The key stakeholder in this initiative was Brazil’s Secretariat of Infrastructure Development within the Ministry of Economy. The initiative was delivered in partnership with Brazil's national development bank, Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES).
Core activities
Core activities of the GI Hub included:
Mapping investment data to show how much capital, both equity and debt, and which sectors, came from public or private sources
Providing sector breakdowns and debt vs equity split using GI Hub’s Infrastructure Monitor tool
Benchmarking by providing similar data for selected foreign markets (G20 countries and regional peers).
