02/02/2023 • Article • FNTP

While the region displays enormous potential for public investment efficiency gains, in other words, getting more out of fewer resources it is critical to boost mechanisms that incentivize more active and sustainable investments from the private sector. The private sectors participation can contribute to improve the development, operation, and maintenance of assets and infrastructure service provision in times of crisis, as well as to preserve appropriate investment levels amid enormous fiscal difficulties. Private participation in infrastructure asset financing, construction, and operation in the region is decisive to promote quality infrastructure services, contributing to the regions economic growth, and to reducing inequality among its inhabitants by granting them access to more and better opportunities. Understanding how economic and social infrastructure is funded and financed in the region and how to boost and diversify the presence of public and private investors with different profiles is crucial to generate and/or improve the conditions to attract more and better financing, and therefore covering unmet investment needs.

Tendances du financement des infrastructures en Afrique 2019-2020

14/12/2022 • Article • FNTP

La pandémie de COVID-19 a eu un impact négatif sur les flux d’investissement dans les infrastructures. Dans le même temps, elle a mis en évidence la nécessité d’une action parallèle sur les infrastructures sociales. La réduction des investissements en infrastructure causée par la pandémie a impacté négativement la réduction du déficit annuel de financement de l’infrastructure en Afrique (le déficit de financement est la différence entre le coût estimé des besoins annuels nécessaires pour arriver à un niveau de service de base pour les africains d’ici 2025 et le niveau des engagements de financement réalisés dans une année). 2019 a été historiquement l’année avec le plus bas déficit de financement. Le Rapport TFI 2019-2020 estime le déficit pour 2019 d’une fourchette entre 53 et 93 milliards USD. Ce déficit a augmenté durant 2020, l’année de la pandémie, à un niveau entre 59 et 96 milliards USD, dû essentiellement au besoin de focaliser les ressources aux activités relatives à la pandémie, ce qui a fait reculer l’objectif pour atteindre les besoins de base en infrastructure sur le continent. La pandémie a également montré la nécessité d’améliorer les infrastructures et les services de santé et a mis l’accent sur les problèmes de résilience des infrastructures et des services d’éducation.

Emerging trends in infrastructure

10/01/2024 • Article • FNTP

KPMG’s 2024 Emerging Trends in Infrastructure highlights ten trends that will shape the world of infrastructure in the next year. All at one time, we want to change our energy mix, our climate, our economies, our global trade patterns, our cities, our technology and our social equity. And we plan to do it all against a backdrop of a non-stationary environment, divisive geopolitical rhetoric and deep economic uncertainty. It is a mammoth task. Humanity’s success or failure will largely rest on the shoulders of our infrastructure. Infrastructure will be central to the energy transition and achieving our climate adaptation goals. It catalyzes economic growth and facilitates trade. It underpins urban renewal, lays the foundations for digital transformation and – done well – can help embed social equity. Delivering on the promise of infrastructure will require greater collaboration, new funding mechanisms, innovative regulatory regimes, new construction techniques, broader skill sets and – more than anything – a high degree of flexibility and creativity. Enabling the world’s transitions, therefore, must start with a transition in the infrastructure sector.
