The USD 1.1 billion Pennsylvania Rapid Bridge Replacement (RBR) Project is the first multi-asset public-private partnership (PPP) project to be undertaken in the US, using a bundled contract approach to replace 558 structurally deficient (SD) bridges across Pennsylvania.
Regulatory capital frameworks require banks and insurers to put aside more capital for infrastructure investments than is warranted by their historical credit performance
Regional private investment in infrastructure has seen divergent trends in the post-COVID era, with Western Europe and North America emerging as the two strongest performers, followed by Latin America. Meanwhile Asia, while maintaining relatively stable investment as a share of regional GDP, has experienced the sharpest decline in its share of global private investment in infrastructure, as Western Europe and North America expand their shares. Other regions have seen weaker investment in the post-COVID era (Africa, Oceania, Middle East), or remained stagnant (Eastern Europe).
