InfraTech is defined by the G20’s Infrastructure Working Group (IWG) as “the integration of material, machine, and digital technologies across the infrastructure lifecycle” and is supported by three reference notes produced in collaboration between the G20 IWG, the World Bank and the GI Hub: 1) The InfraTech Stock Take of Use Cases; 2) The Value Drivers for InfraTech; and 3) The InfraTech Policy Toolkit.
In just a few years, ESG, also known as sustainable or responsible investing, has moved from a slightly idealistic nicheto front-page, a mainstream dimension for investors, one that strongly influences the performance and resilience of their investment over time. This is particularly the case in infrastructure, in view of its wide reaching and long-term consequences for the community.
A series of methodologies and tools based on the evidence-based infrastructure (EBI) approach, helping governments assess and improve their capacity to plan, deliver and manage infrastructure systems.
The G20 Infrastructure Working Group (IWG) Survey on PPP Development underlying this Report provides reference on the frameworks for infrastructure financing through Public-Private Partnership in G20 economies
The Reference tool is meant to serve as a practical tool to help governments and other stakeholders understand and implement the critical success factors that deliver inclusive infrastructure.
The objective of the report and the accompanying index is not simply to rank countries, but to use score movements as a benchmark from which to investigate trends, identify successful PPP performers, and focus on the approaches that can facilitate a better understanding of common challenges and best-practice standards.
OECD Investment Policy Reviews present an overview of investment trends and policies in the countries reviewed, using the OECD Policy Framework for Investment to assess the climate for domestic and foreign investment at sub-national, national or regional levels. They then propose actions for improving the framework conditions for investment and discuss challenges and opportunities for further reforms.
As part of its Public Procurement Toolbox, the OECD developed indicators to measure the performance of public procurement systems.
The Global Toolbox provides an interactive inventory of MDB instruments, with their hyperlinks and comprehensive overviews, to support private investment across the globe.
The review consisted of a detailed assessment of the current institutional set-up, including roles and responsibilities for EE in Turkey, along with a comparison with international experience and best practices. A final set of institutional options and recommendations are provided at the end of the report.
PPP webinars presents trending topics on PPPs and infrastructure, as well as the latest tools for practitioners, case studies, and presentations from experts.
This report assesses infrastructure PPP investments in an expanded list of Fragile and Conflict Affected States (EFCS2), as well as the PPP regulatory frameworks during the 2012-2016 period.
Lifelines lays out a framework for understanding infrastructure resilience—the ability of infrastructure systems to function and meet users’ needs during and after a natural shock—and it makes an economic case for building more resilient infrastructure.
Focused on the electricity system, BloombergNEF s (BNEF s) New Energy Outlook (NEO) combines the expertise of over 65 market and technology specialists in 12 countries to provide a unique view of how the market will evolve. Each year BNEF makes a number of changes to NEO as they strive to improve the completeness and complexity of their analysis. Click on the link to BNEF s website to see the 10 key findings.
Infrastructure Finance in the Developing World: Multilateral Lending Instruments for Infrastructure Financing - A report by the G-24 and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI). This paper is part of The Infrastructure Finance in the Developing World Working Paper Series, which is a joint research effort by GGGI and the G-24 that explores the challenges and opportunities for scaling up infrastructure finance in emerging markets and developing countries.
In light of the overwhelming needs for infrastructure finance in emerging and developing economies and the limitations facing alternative flows of financing, there is a clear role of MDBs to continue and in fact step up their activities. The Infrastructure Finance in the Developing World Working Paper Series is a joint research effort by GGGI and the G-24 that explores the challenges and opportunities for scaling up infrastructure finance in emerging markets and developing countries.
This paper assesses the challenges and trade-offs faced by the three major NDBs in emerging economies in their efforts to (1) reach the goals set by their governments, (2) obtain the resources needed to function at a meaningful scale, and (3) operate within their unique economic and political contexts.
The paper discusses general trends in involving the private sector in public projects, PPPs and asymmetric information, and policy conclusions.
