Economies rely on infrastructure, but with limited public funds, the government increasingly seeks help from the private sector to finance infrastructure projects.

Climate change, technological advancements, and geopolitics influence the types of infrastructure needed. However, constructing physical infrastructure can be challenging due to various hurdles in the planning process.

In the most recent episode of Macro Bytes, host Paul Diggle sits down with Bridget Rosewell, a Board Member of the UK Infrastructure Bank and former Commissioner of the National Infrastructure Commission, to discuss infrastructure economics.
