Item 6 - Investing in Infrastructure (CIV4/11)

Summary    

This report lays out the case to the Joint Committee of investing in infrastructure, and some of the options that will be open to the CIV.
It should be noted that for the purposes of this paper, infrastructure does not include housing, which is being covered in a separate work stream. However, it should also be noted that the rationale for investing in housing, and the return profiles and attributes of that asset class, are the same as those of the broader infrastructure sector.

Recommendations    

The committee is recommended to consider the issues raised in this report and to allow further exploratory work to be completed, in order to move forward with investment in infrastructure
