Countering the Connectivity Conundrum

11 de mayo de 2017 5:30

Cross-border flows of goods and capital in South-East Asia have shown marked growth and progress, but the same cannot be said for infrastructure. Roads, railways, power transmission cables, gas pipelines and other transnational connections have proven much harder to establish. How can ASEAN build truly pan-regional connectivity?

Dimensions to be addressed:
- Identifying opportunities with the highest economic and social returns
- Tackling obstacles to investment to bring infrastructure projects to life
- Improving commercial viability to attract private-sector capital

This session was developed in partnership with BeritaSatu.
