In the next decade, Asia needs a huge US$1 trillion for new infrastructure.

investment to help meet this shortfall. Now this involvement is even more
vital. However, the crises has highlighted serious investor and government
profitability, cost and risk concerns.
This timely and in-depth report focuses on major legal, regulatory,
transparency, financial market and sectoral restructuring issues which
governments must tackle to attract private investors back to Asian
infrastructure. Forecasts of Asia's economic recovery, associated
infrastructure demand and new reforms signal business opportunities.
Government and aid implications are significant.
