Abstract

Maximizing the development impact of infrastructure expenditures while meeting the challenges of urbanization, regional development, and mines is the focus of the this report. After the introduction, Chapter 2 looks at the country's current infrastructure capacity, noting extensive networks but declining quality, growing environmental issues and significant remaining gaps-not least in rural areas, and in water and sanitation. Chapter 3 outlines the role for price increases to reverse regressive subsidy of wealthy consumers living in households connected to network services while providing additional resources to improve service quality and finance new investments for the benefits of all consumers. Chapter 4 discusses how efficiency will involve an increased role for the private sector, active use of competition as a tool for controlling prices, and increasing quality and an improved regulatory environment. Chapter 5 discusses improved planning, which will be vital to ensure infrastructure does not become a bottleneck to growth. Finally, Chapter VI discusses the prioritization of reforms to relieve infrastructure bottlenecks in a manner that may help to limit the political complexity of reform.
