The Asia Pacific region is a key part of China's One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative. However, given the diversity of governance systems and procurement structures in Asia Pacific countries, securing involvement in OBOR projects is far from straightforward. A strategy tailored to political, legal and economic factors, amongst others, is critical to achieving success in navigating potential pitfalls that may lead to fatigue and failure.
Designing Feasible Transport Masterplans in Sub Saharan Africa SamStewartMutabazi

The Grand Inga Dam project in the Democratic Republic of Congo aims to generate 40,000MW of clean renewable energy but faces significant financing challenges due to its estimated $80 billion cost. Financing options include strengthening domestic public finances by improving tax collection and transparency to unlock natural resource revenues, as well as harnessing private investors through risk guarantees. Multilateral development banks can play a key role by providing loans, technical assistance and risk mitigation to both the government and private sector. Overcoming obstacles like corruption and attracting sufficient financing will be critical to developing this ambitious infrastructure project.

This document discusses the formation of an infrastructure think tank in Doha, Qatar on April 20th, 2013. It notes that global infrastructure expenditure is projected to reach $50-70 trillion by 2030, amounting to around 6% of global GDP annually. However, traditional financial models may be inadequate to fund all needed projects, which often experience cost overruns and delays. The think tank aims to better understand and resolve problems with large infrastructure projects through pragmatic and innovative research that can help nations prosper by getting infrastructure investment right.
This document summarizes a report on infrastructure development in Africa, with a focus on Nigeria. It discusses Nigeria's National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan (NIIMP), which aims to increase infrastructure investment in Nigeria from 20-25% of GDP currently to 70% by 2043. The plan identifies investment needs across various sectors like energy, transport, and ICT. It also emphasizes the importance of private sector investment. Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan and Deputy Chairman of the National Planning Commission Abubakar Sulaiman provide endorsements of the plan, stating it will spur economic growth and transformation through improved infrastructure.
Nigeria needs $350 billion to address its infrastructure gap over the next 10 years according to the African Development Bank. The government's revenue is only $30 billion, mostly from oil, so it must raise income and involve the private sector. Key priorities are expanding investment in infrastructure, establishing stable economic policies, reducing oil dependence, and increasing skills training. Challenges include low private investment, youth unemployment, economic instability from corruption and violence. Nigeria must make major capital investments across sectors like power, roads, and sanitation to achieve development goals by 2030. Financing will require increasing domestic revenue, sovereign wealth funds, government bonds, and private investment facilitated by extended loan terms and guarantees.
This is the first in a 9 part series of educational business programs that are hosted by Freedom Nation in order to gain a greater understanding asked the strategic significance of operating in Central Asia.

The Role of Domestic Resource Mobilization for Sustainable Financing of Devel...Yuwana Zemoh-Adeyemi
My target audience is international and national governments, financial regulators, financial experts, development experts, economists, policy makers and policy analysts whose crucial focus has long been the financing resources needed to finance development plans and agenda. The concept of financing for development (FFD) is an offshoot of the financing gap that surpasses the current development financial flows and the new global development goals called the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), 2016-2030. In principle, adequate financial resources are available globally; however, the resources will not automatically be mobilized and utilized to support the achievement of development goals except with a paradigm shift to encourage Domestic Resource Mobilization (DRM) to unlock the needed resources to achieve the development agenda, plans and goals nationally and internationally.
Thank you.

Solving the nigeria road infrastructure challenges a grid approachFaithEbewele
We must reckon that irrespective of the humungous cost of meeting the road infrastructure development challenges, we must now factor in all costs, the positive and negative environmental aspects and impact of the said projects on the users and how it may contribute to the effects of climate change.
This approach, dubbed the "GRID" applies Quality Infrastructure Development (QII), was developed by the World bank and can be adapted to Nigeria's particular road infrastructure budgeting and projects
Changing nigeria’s road infrastructure development story a grid approachObehi Ebewele
The road to recovery from the negative track record and lack-lustre performance of huge investments in Nigeria’s road infrastructure over the years is by a firm commitment by the leadership to develop a sustainable policy framework which adopts QII Principles.
Nations like Japan already adopted the GRID and QII Principles and hence are already better prepared for shocks from climate actions and already taking calculated developmental investments to not only adapt, but also to mitigate the effects in an inclusive and sustainable manner.
So, why not? Nigeria can also adopt same workable solution to achieve our yearning aspirations for a better, inclusive and more sustainable infrastructure.
This document discusses Nigeria's infrastructure shortage and investment opportunities. It notes that Nigeria has inadequate infrastructure that inhibits economic growth. Data shows Nigeria has very low global infrastructure rankings, comparable to failed states. Nigeria's infrastructure master plan is estimated to require $2.9 trillion in investments. However, population growth is increasing demand for infrastructure investments. The document argues private investment in infrastructure funds and public-private partnerships could help close Nigeria's huge infrastructure funding gap and facilitate much needed development.
Bangladesh's hi-tech industry is growing due to several factors:
- A large, young population that is increasingly tech-savvy and connected
- Initiatives by local companies to manufacture smartphones and develop IoT devices
- Growing foreign investment in tech startups, especially in fintech, logistics, and mobility
However, challenges remain including a lack of skilled middle managers and low labor productivity compared to countries like China and India. Building strategic partnerships and a strong "Digital Bangladesh" brand could help the country further develop its hi-tech sector and attract more local and global demand.

This document provides an overview of considerations for building facilities in India, including:
- Government regulations around planning, building codes, and special economic zones can be complex to navigate with bureaucratic delays common.
- Major primary markets for facilities include Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai which have established central business districts and growing peripheral districts.
- Development models range from direct development by a company to using a local or global developer under a build to suit contract, each with tradeoffs around costs, timelines and quality control.
- Design criteria must account for site conditions, sustainable programs, renewable energy sources, and workplace trends to deliver aspirational facilities in India.
Building Sector Concerns into Macroeconomic Financial Programming: Lessons fr...Dr Lendy Spires
This document discusses concerns around underinvestment in infrastructure, health, and education in developing countries during the 1990s. It presents two perspectives in the debate around "fiscal space" - whether countries can tolerate higher deficits if funds are invested in growth-enhancing sectors. The standard IMF financial programming model does not account for the link between public investment and growth. An alternative view is that investments create long-term assets and gains that justify short-term deficits. The paper aims to incorporate sector considerations into the financial programming framework to evaluate how different investment levels impact GDP and debt sustainability. It applies this model to Uganda and Senegal as case studies.
The Access to Information (a2i) Programme aims to provide digital public services to citizens across Bangladesh. It was launched in 2007 by the Prime Minister's Office with support from UNDP and USAID. The program works to strengthen existing digital services, expand digital literacy, and promote innovation to improve governance and make services more accessible. It operates initiatives like the National Portal Framework, District e-Service Centers, and a Service Innovation Centre to pilot new solutions. Bangladesh has won the prestigious WSIS award three times for the innovative work of the a2i Programme.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.
