Infrastructure policy and economic growth: Case of Hong Kong

The article argues that in most infrastructure projects, the government has to take up a leading role in managing the development of strategic infrastructure. This article also discusses the value of an integrated approach linking the public and private sectors in infrastructure investment.

By so doing the investment risk can be minimised and maximum market efficiency can be achieved.
