View the Government insight into the current economic climate »
What’s happening?
Many conflicting forces are shaping government decision making presently:
- The likelihood of reduced tax receipts in future years is putting pressure on income, leading to potential cutbacks in non-essential services and a search for new revenue sources.
- New protocols must be introduced to monitor the effect of recent government decisions and protect any new investments.
- Volatility in international capital markets is increasing the cost and reducing the availability of debt funding for infrastructure projects.
Supporting the infrastructure sector, protecting national markets and at the same time tweaking the regulatory structure to account for recent events will require governments to perform a significant balancing act.
How we can help
- Access to different funding models for infrastructure and large project funding.
- Advice on financial market intervention, risk management and governance.

Questions governments should be asking
