UK Infrastructure: The challenges for investors and policymakers

Excellent White Paper by Liewellyn Consulting published this year.  Link to the paper.

From the paper:

One increasingly talked-about way to achieve a higher level of infrastructure investment has been

to encourage greater private sector financing. This is consistent with the objective of institutional

investors, such as pension and insurance funds, to increase the diversification of their portfolios,

and enhance their long-term asset-liability management. There is a lead role for Government here

in setting the necessary framework.

 

In short, there are huge infrastructure demands, and increasingly interested and cash-rich

institutional funds. A key challenge therefore is to bring the two together. This paper considers

some of the problems involved, and the options available to overcome them.
