Infrastructure Challenges in East and South Asia

Published on 1 July 2006

This article reviews the challenges for infrastructure policy and investment in East and South Asia. The context is one in which the major economies (led by China and more recently India) have enjoyed increasingly rapid growth accompanied by substantial reductions in poverty.

Infrastructure investment has played an important part in this growth, but the increasing demands related to growth have also highlighted shortfalls in the quantity and quality of
infrastructure and this is increasingly seen as a binding constraint on accelerating growth further, particularly in India.
