BRACE YOURSELF for the INFRASTRUCTURE REVOLUTION
Richard Threlfall, the global head of infrastructure at KPMG, had one very strong message while in New Zealand for the Institute of Directors’ Conference in April.
That message is that the world is having an infrastructure revolution driven by the sheer amount of infrastructure the world’s growing population and the emerging middle classes in the Asian and African regions need, want and deserve.
It is exciting, he says, because it is infrastructure that will help lift the world’s poorest out of poverty.
And with more than 25 years’ experience in infrastructure policy, governance, strategy and financing, advising both public and private sector clients in the United Kingdom and overseas, Threlfall should know what he is talking about.
On histhat [mind boggling as it seems] the world will build more infrastructure in the next 40 years than it has in the past 4000 years.
