While in many countries, we are investing in ink from the potential hundreds of millions of dollars that could be spent on developing roads, railways and ports – the bigger picture and the more profits are missing.
The real possibility is not here – it is in Asia where the dollar spent in the next five years will even knock the most optimistic forecasts in any other region on the planet.
If a picture is a thousand words, then the PricewaterhouseCoopers consultancy company's paper below is enough for a lot of paragraphs. The bar graph shows a cumulative amount of traffic-oriented infrastructure spending in global key regions between 2015 and 2025 in billions of dollars.

Of course this is one thing to make predictions. This is another proof that explains why such expenditures occur. In India, it aims at eliminating economic bottlenecks. For example, on average, it takes a little more than two days to unload a large container ship in an Indian port and then reload it with goods intended for export. This is about twice as long as the usual switchover time for a major international port, such as Los Angeles or Yokohama, Japan.
Standard & Poor analysts noted in the report last year: "Infrastructure development is key to Indian manufacturing for competitiveness and greater growth."
Cost of logistics – moving goods from place to place – extremely high. The World Bank's logistics performance index puts 35 in India – less well than much smaller economies and populations, such as Portugal or Estonia.
China, despite the fact that the main lines of trains and new motorways have to develop a high-quality transport infrastructure. When the World Bank links all of the logistics costs, China is far from the 27th place (Germany 1, Hong Kong 9th Separate Economic Region, US 10, and Japan No.
Not disappointed, a few months ago, China's State Council has said it will spend $ 2.17 trillion on railways, roads, airports and seaports. And if these goals go through, all the money will be spent only in the next three years. If China hopes to meet its own ambitions in a new "silk road" – the country's center for its own commercial and economic funding network – it will have to spend a lot more to improve its transport links between its main entrance and commercial partners.
Of course, : Only the two largest economies in Asia a document has recently been reported that the infrastructure expenditures of Asian nations should be changed in Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia.
