Asia-Pacific to be a dominant driver in global infrastructure investment: CMS

SINGAPORE (Nov 30): Asia-Pacific, more specifically Australia, Singapore and China, are driving momentum interest for infrastructure investment, according to the CMS Infrastructure Index: A New Direction.

CMS is a full-service international law firm and its index ranks 40 jurisdictions in order of infrastructure investment attractiveness according to six key criteria – economic status, sustainability and innovation, tax environment, political stability, ease of doing business, and private participation.

Globally, four of the top 20 spots for investment attractiveness were secured by Asia-Pacific countries, with robust economic growth across the region, ambitious renewables plans, and the world’s largest infrastructure project – China’s Belt & Road - set to reshape the continent’s landscape over the next decade.
