IDB: Filling the infrastructure investment gap

Infrastructure is crucial for generating economic and social development and reducing inequality. The current gap in global infrastructure investment impedes sustainable economic growth and trade, suppresses job creation and hinders efforts for inclusive development. In 2014, infrastructure financing in developing countries was estimated at around 1 trillion USD per year. This is less than the projected infrastructure investment need for the period of 2015-2030: 1.2 trillion USD.
