APAC(アジア太平洋)のPE投資市場は均質ではありません。国や地域にはそれぞれ特徴があり、ここ数年でそれぞれ独自の進化を遂げてきました。最も注目すべき変更は、ファンドクラスの種類、投資ダイナミクス、および出口戦略に関連しています。
預計未來十年，亞太地區基礎設施市場規模將以每年7-8%的速度成長，到2025年將達到5.36兆美元，佔全球總額的60%。
大多數亞洲國家都需要大量資金用於基礎建設，以促進經濟成長。製造業需要電力來刺激發展，工業和人口需要水資源來維持，而運輸網絡則需要促進材料、製成品和人員的流動。
包括澳洲在內的人口老化較為嚴重的成熟經濟體需要發展和升級經濟基礎設施，但對醫療和住房等社會基礎設施的需求也很高。
成熟經濟體和新興經濟體都面臨一個共同的問題：預算約束——很少有國家能夠完全依靠政府來資助必要的基礎建設，無論是經濟基礎設施還是社會基礎設施。因此，迫切需要調動私部門的資本來投資基礎建設。
預計亞太地區基礎設施產業在預測期內的複合年增長率約為7%。
東南亞正在經歷基礎建設的繁榮，越南、泰國、菲律賓、馬來西亞和印尼的重大項目紛紛獲得批准。這些項目在許多情況下得到了日本和中國的貸款和其他援助。日本和中國在東南亞一年投資額的差異只是故事的一部分。近年來，中國對東協基礎設施的投資迅速成長。日本仍在東南亞基礎設施競賽中領先中國，未完成專案幾乎是競爭對手的1.5倍。日本支持該地區六大經濟體——印尼、馬來西亞、菲律賓、新加坡、泰國和越南——的項目價值為3,670億美元。越南是迄今為止日本參與基礎建設的最大優先事項，待完成工程價值2,090億美元，佔日本總額的一半以上。其中包括價值587億美元的越南河內至胡志明市之間的高速鐵路。一位知情人士透露，跨國私募股權公司KKR.N為其首支專注於亞洲的基礎設施基金籌集了15億美元，約佔目標總額的一半。 KKR大約一年前開始瞄準亞洲基礎設施領域，並進行了一系列招聘，並於2019年開始募款。
亞太地區基礎設施領域涵蓋不同領域不斷增長的建設項目，例如社會基礎設施、交通基礎設施、採礦基礎設施和製造業基礎設施。除了範圍之外，報告還分析了亞太地區基礎設施領域的主要參與者和競爭格局。由於新冠疫情的限制，2020年亞太地區建築業的成長受到了影響。儘管面臨危機，但長期成長前景仍完好。在亞太地區，越南的建築業表現最佳。儘管新冠疫情爆發，但該產業在2020年持續強勁成長。在中國，預計2021年建築業產出將大幅反彈。此外，中國預計在未來十年成為最大的建築業國家。
儘管2020年住宅建設成長依然低迷，但預計該產業將從2021年開始成長。在該地區的發展中市場，政府高度重視經濟適用房。例如，印度政府最近宣布了「經濟適用房租賃計畫」（AHRC），旨在為移民工人提供經濟適用房。該計劃與馬哈拉施特拉邦首席部長發起的“Maha A was Yojana”（一項新的農村住房項目）一起，預計將推動印度住宅建設行業的成長。
同樣，為了提高馬來西亞的住房擁有率，政府在2021年預算中宣布了多項激勵措施。例如，馬來西亞政府宣布，在2025年之前，對該國首次購屋者實施全額印花稅減免。這項印花稅減免將使許多希望在該國擁有房產的馬來西亞人受益。此外，政府也延長了對該國廢棄住房計畫買家的印花稅減免期限。印花稅優惠將促使新開發商承接半成品項目，並可能加速廢棄房屋項目的竣工。從而推動中國住宅建築業的成長。
亞太地區大多數政府都致力於基礎建設，以促進經濟復甦。例如，在中國，中國國家鐵路營運商也計劃在未來15年內將其高鐵網路規模擴大一倍。從而支持其基礎設施建設產業的成長。
The Asia Pacific infrastructure market is expected to grow 7 - 8% per cent a year over the next decade, reaching US$5.36 trillion a year by 2025 representing 60% of the world total.
The majority of Asian countries require substantial amounts of spending directed towards infrastructure that will allow for growth in their economies. Power is needed to spur manufacturing, water is needed to sustain industry and people, and transport networks are required to facilitate the movement of materials, manufactured goods and people.
Mature economies including Australia with an ageing demographic need development and upgrade of economic infrastructure, but there is also a high demand for social infrastructure such as health and housing.
One common theme across both mature and emerging economies is budgetary constraint – very few countries can rely solely on the government to fund necessary infrastructure whether economic or social. Therefore there is a great need to mobilize private sector capital for investment into infrastructure.
The Infrastructure sector in the Asia Pacific is estimated to grow at a CAGR of approximately 7% during the forecast period.
Southeast Asia is experiencing a boom in infrastructure, with major projects in Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia accepted. Those were supported in many cases by loans and other assistance provided by Japan and China. The distinction between Japan and China's one-year investment in Southeast Asia represents just part of the story. China’s investments in ASEAN infrastructure have risen rapidly in recent years.
Japan is still leading the Southeast Asia Infrastructure Race against China, with almost one-and-a-half times its rival projects outstanding. Japanese-backed projects in the region’s six largest economies – Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam – are valued at USD 367 billion. Vietnam is by far the biggest priority for Japan's participation in infrastructure, with projects pending worth USD 209 billion – more than half of Japan's total. This includes USD 58.7 billion of high-speed rail between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. KKR.N Multinational Private Equity Firm raised USD 1.5 billion for its first Asia-focused infrastructure fund, around half of the total targeted, said one person with direct knowledge. KKR started targeting Asia's infrastructure sector with a series of hires beginning about a year ago and began fundraising in 2019.
The Infrastructure sector in the Asia Pacific covers the growing construction projects in different sectors, like Social Infrastructure, Transportation Infrastructure, Extraction Infrastructure, Manufacturing Infrastructure. Along with the scope of the report also it analyses the key players and the competitive landscape in the Infrastructure sector in the Asia Pacific. The growth of the construction industry in Asia Pacific was impacted in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions. Despite the crisis, the long term growth story remains intact. In APAC, the construction industry in Vietnam has been the best performing one. Despite the coronavirus outbreak, the sector continued to grow strongly in 2020. In China, the construction output is expected to record a sharp bounce back in 2021. Moreover, China is on its way to becoming the largest construction industry over the next decade.
Though growth in residential construction remained subdued in 2020, the sector is expected to grow from 2021. Across developing markets in the region there is a strong government focus on affordable housing. For instance, the Indian government recently announced the Affordable Rental Housing Scheme (AHRC) scheme to provide affordable rental accommodation to migrant workers. This along with the Maha A was Yojana - a new rural housing project - launched by Maharashtra Chief Minister, is expected to drive the growth of the residential construction sector in India.
Similarly, to increase homeownership in Malaysia, the government announced several incentives in budget 2021. For instance, the Malaysian government announced the full stamp duty exemption for first time home buyers in the country until 2025. This waiver of stamp duty will benefit several Malaysians who are looking to own a house in the country. Additionally, the government has also extended the stamp duty exemption for buyers of abandoned housing projects in the country. The discount on stamp duty will push new developers to take on half-completed projects and potentially accelerate the completion of abandoned housing projects. Therefore, driving the growth of the residential construction sector in the country.
Most of the governments in APAC are focusing on infrastructure development to help economic recovery. In China for instance, over the next fifteen years, the Chinese state railway operator also plans to double the size of its high-speed railway network. Thus, supporting the growth of its infrastructure construction sector.
Also, growth of the infrastructure construction sector in Japan will be predominantly driven by the expansion of the railway network in Japan. The construction activities of US$19 billion Chuo Shinkansen Maglev Rail Line is already underway, with Phase I construction from Nagoya to Tokyo expected to be operational in 2027. Construction activities of Hokuriku Shinkansen from Kanazawa to Tsuruga have also started in Japan. Moreover, the extension of Hokkaido Shinkansen from Shin-Hakodate-Kokuto to Sapporo is also underway. Both of these lines are expected to be operational by 2022 to 2030 respectively. Therefore, it will keep supporting the growth of the infrastructure market in the country in 2021. Similarly, in Australia, around US$14 billion will be invested in hard infrastructure projects including road and rail projects (US$7.5 billion), road safety upgrades (US$2 billion), and upgrading local roads and footpaths (US$1 billion). Moreover, the government is also offering funding for accelerating the implementation of the 5G network in the country. Such investments are expected to positively impact the overall construction industry in APAC.
アジア太平洋地域のインフラ市場は、今後10年間で年間7〜8%の成長を遂げ、2025年までに年間5兆3,600億米ドルに達し、世界全体の60%を占めると予想されています。
アジア諸国の大半は、自国の経済の成長を可能にするインフラに向けられた多額の支出を必要としています。製造業を活性化するためには電力が必要であり、産業と人々を維持するためには水が必要であり、材料、製造品、人の移動を促進するためには輸送ネットワークが必要です。
高齢化が進むオーストラリアをはじめとする成熟経済では、経済インフラの整備とアップグレードが必要ですが、医療や住宅などの社会インフラに対する需要も高いです。
成熟国と新興国の両方に共通するテーマの1つは予算の制約であり、経済的であれ社会的であれ、必要なインフラへの資金提供を政府だけに頼ることができる国はほとんどありません。そのため、インフラへの投資に民間資本を動員する必要性が大いにあります。
アジア太平洋地域のインフラセクターは、予測期間中に約7%のCAGRで成長すると推定されています。
東南アジアでは、ベトナム、タイ、フィリピン、マレーシア、インドネシアなどの大型プロジェクトが受注するなど、インフラブームが進んでいます。これらは、多くの場合、日本や中国からの借款等の支援によって支えられました。日本と中国の東南アジアへの1年間の投資の違いは、物語の一部に過ぎません。近年、中国のASEANインフラへの投資は急速に増加しています。
日本は依然として中国に対する東南アジアのインフラ競争をリードしており、ライバルプロジェクトのほぼ1.5倍が未解決です。この地域の6大経済大国(インドネシア、マレーシア、フィリピン、シンガポール、タイ、ベトナム)における日本が支援するプロジェクトは、3,670億米ドルと評価されています。ベトナムは、日本のインフラ参加にとって圧倒的な最優先事項であり、保留中のプロジェクトは2,090億米ドルで、日本全体の半分以上を占めています。これには、ベトナムのハノイとホーチミン市を結ぶ587億米ドルの高速鉄道が含まれます。KKRです。N Multinational Private Equity Firmは、アジアに特化した初のインフラファンドとして15億米ドルを調達したが、これは目標とされた全体の約半分にあたると、直接的な知識を持つある人物は語った。KKRは、約1年前からアジアのインフラセクターをターゲットにし始め、2019年から資金調達を開始しました。
アジア太平洋地域のインフラセクターは、社会インフラ、交通インフラ、抽出インフラ、製造インフラなど、さまざまなセクターで成長している建設プロジェクトをカバーしています。レポートの範囲とともに、アジア太平洋地域のインフラストラクチャセクターの主要なプレーヤーと競争環境も分析します。アジア太平洋地域の建設業界の成長は、COVID-19の制限により2020年に影響を受けました。危機にもかかわらず、長期的な成長ストーリーは損なわれていません。APACでは、ベトナムの建設業界が最も好調です。コロナウイルスの発生にもかかわらず、このセクターは2020年に力強い成長を続けました。中国では、2021年に建設生産高が急回復すると予想されています。さらに、中国は今後10年間で最大の建設業界になる道を進んでいます。2020年も住宅建設の伸びは低迷していましたが、2021年からは成長が見込まれています。この地域の発展途上市場全体で、政府は手頃な価格の住宅に強い焦点を当てています。たとえば、インド政府は最近、移民労働者に手頃な価格の賃貸住宅を提供するための手頃な価格の賃貸住宅スキーム(AHRC)スキームを発表しました。これは、マハラシュトラ州首相が立ち上げた新しい農村住宅プロジェクトであるMaha A was Yojanaとともに、インドの住宅建設セクターの成長を促進することが期待されています。
同様に、マレーシアでの住宅所有を増やすために、政府は2021年度予算でいくつかのインセンティブを発表しました。例えば、マレーシア政府は、国内で初めて住宅を購入する人に対して、2025年まで印紙税を全額免除すると発表しました。印紙税のこの免除は、国内で家を所有しようとしているいくつかのマレーシア人に利益をもたらします。さらに、政府はまた、国内の放棄された住宅プロジェクトの購入者のための印紙税の免除を拡大しました。印紙税の割引は、新しい開発者が中途半端なプロジェクトを引き受けるようになり、放棄された住宅プロジェクトの完了を加速する可能性があります。したがって、国内の住宅建設セクターの成長を牽引しています。APACのほとんどの政府は、経済回復を支援するためのインフラ開発に注力しています。例えば、中国では、今後15年間で、中国の国営鉄道事業者である同社は、高速鉄道網の規模を2倍にすることを計画しています。したがって、そのインフラストラクチャ建設セクターの成長を支えています。
また、日本のインフラ建設セクターの成長は、主に日本の鉄道網の拡大によって牽引されるでしょう。190億米ドルを投じた中央新幹線リニアモーターカーの建設活動はすでに進行中で、名古屋から東京までの第1期工事は2027年に稼働する予定です。金沢から敦賀までの北陸新幹線の建設活動も日本でも始まっています。また、北海道新幹線の新函館国都から札幌までの延伸も進められています。両ラインは、それぞれ2022年から2030年までに稼働する予定です。したがって、2021年も同国のインフラ市場の成長を支え続けます。同様に、オーストラリアでは、道路・鉄道プロジェクト(75億ドル)、交通安全の向上(20億ドル)、地方道路・歩道の整備(10億ドル)など、ハードインフラプロジェクトに約140億ドルが投資されます。さらに、政府は国内での5Gネットワークの実装を加速するための資金も提供しています。このような投資は、APACの建設業界全体にプラスの影響を与えることが期待されています。
Expenditure on airport infrastructure:
It is expected that the Asia Pacific region will achieve unprecedented long-term growth in aviation; By 2030, air travel in Asia is expected to be bigger than the next two markets combined between North America and Europe. This is good news for the region considering that aviation is a catalyst for economic growth. As time goes on, the global aviation market will tilt toward the Asia-Pacific region, where India's market size ranking will rise to the third spot from seventh in the world and Indonesia's to fifth from tenth. In the next 20 years, half the growth in the global aviation market will come from the Asia-Pacific region, which will account for 55 percent, while growth from China will account for 28 percent in the Asia-Pacific region. The fast-growing aviation market will add pressure to airport infrastructure.
Demand for railway infrastructure:
With 79,000+ kilometers of rail projects either planned or under construction, Asia Pacific is the most exciting rail market in the world.
The increasing demand for mass rapid transit to reduce traffic congestion and journey times is likely to drive the growth of the high-speed rail market globally. The long high-speed train network in China and Japan and the increased adoption of high-speed lines in South Korea and Turkey have placed the Asia-Pacific region as a market leader.
空港インフラへの支出:
アジア太平洋地域は、航空業界で前例のない長期的成長を達成すると予想されています。2030年までに、アジアの空の旅は、北米とヨーロッパを合わせた次の2つの市場よりも大きくなると予想されています。航空が経済成長の触媒であることを考えると、これはこの地域にとって朗報です。時間が経つにつれて、世界の航空市場はアジア太平洋地域に傾き、インドの市場規模ランキングは世界の7位から3位に、インドネシアは10位から5位に上昇します。今後20年間で、世界の航空市場の成長の半分はアジア太平洋地域から来ており、その55%を占め、中国からの成長率はアジア太平洋地域で28%を占めると予想されています。急成長する航空市場は、空港のインフラに圧力をかけるでしょう。
鉄道インフラの需要:
79,000 +キロメートルの鉄道プロジェクトが計画中または建設中であるアジア太平洋地域は、世界で最もエキサイティングな鉄道市場です。
交通渋滞と移動時間を減らすための大量高速輸送機関の需要の高まりは、世界の高速鉄道市場の成長を促進する可能性があります。中国と日本での長い高速鉄道網と、韓国とトルコでの高速鉄道の採用の増加により、アジア太平洋地域は市場リーダーとしての地位を確立しています。
機場基礎設施支出：
預計亞太地區航空業將實現前所未有的長期成長；到2030年，亞洲的航空旅行規模預計將超過緊隨其後的北美和歐洲兩個市場的總和。鑑於航空業是經濟成長的催化劑，這對該地區來說無疑是個好消息。隨著時間的推移，全球航空市場將向亞太地區傾斜，印度的市場規模排名將從全球第七位上升至第三位，印尼將從第十位上升至第五位。未來20年，全球航空市場成長的一半將來自亞太地區，佔55%，而中國的成長將佔亞太地區的28%。快速成長的航空市場將給機場基礎設施帶來更多壓力。
鐵路基礎設施需求：
亞太地區擁有超過7.9萬公里的規劃和在建鐵路項目，是全球最令人興奮的鐵路市場。
為了減少交通擁堵和縮短行程時間，人們對快速公共交通的需求日益增長，這可能會推動全球高鐵市場的成長。中國和日本擁有龐大的高鐵網絡，韓國和土耳其也越來越多地採用高鐵線路，這使得亞太地區成為高鐵市場的領導者。

World Bank, in full World Bank Group, international organization affiliated with the United Nations (UN) and designed to finance projects that enhance the economic development of member states. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the bank is the largest source of financial assistance to developing countries. It also provides technical assistance and policy advice and supervises—on behalf of international creditors—the implementation of free-market reforms.
Together with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Trade Organization, it plays a central role in overseeing economic policy and reforming public institutions in developing countries and defining the global macroeconomic agenda.
Its first loans were geared toward the postwar reconstruction of western Europe. Beginning in the mid-1950s, it played a major role in financing investments in infrastructural projects in developing countries, including roads, hydroelectric dams, water and sewage facilities, maritime ports, and airports.
The World Bank Group comprises five constituent institutions: (IBRD), (IDA), (IFC), (MIGA), and(ICSID).

located in nearby Da Nang is the commercial and educational center of Central Vietnam, Da Nang is easily accessible through major highways, seaport and affordable international flights connecting it to other Asian countries.
The local government’s pro- business policies offer many incentives for investors in the fishing, manufacturing, infrastructure, service, and tourism industries. The city has consistently ranked first in USAID’s Vietnam Provincial Competitive Index for the past 3 years, yet Da Nang’s FDI inflow has been low compared to its true potential, leaving future investors with ample opportunities.
Fishing and Food Processing: With its coastal location, Da Nang has a booming fishing industry that is worth $110 million dollars. The industry will see lower tariffs thanks to free trade agreements, such as the TPP, which will reduce or eliminate tariffs by 90%.
The industry’s biggest markets include Japan, U.S. and E.U.; the former has a combined worth of $1 billion in tuna and shrimp imports in 2015. However, the industry’s sale figures have been declining due to increased competition as well as more stringent regulations. With the signing of the TPP and EVFTA, Vietnam’s fishing industry needs investment in farming and processing technology to meet high standards abroad.
ダナン近郊に位置するダナンは、ベトナム中部の商業・教育の中心地です。主要高速道路、港湾、そしてアジア諸国とを結ぶ手頃な国際航空便によって、ダナンへのアクセスは容易です。
ダナン市は企業優遇政策を掲げ、漁業、製造業、インフラ整備、サービス業、観光業など、様々な産業への投資を奨励しています。ダナン市は過去3年間、USAID（米国国際開発庁）のベトナム地方競争力指数で常に1位にランクされていますが、その潜在的価値に比べてFDI流入額は低く、将来の投資家には大きなチャンスが残されています。
漁業と食品加工：沿岸部に位置するダナン市は、1億1,000万ドル規模の活況を呈する漁業を擁しています。TPPなどの自由貿易協定により、関税は90%削減または撤廃され、関税は低下する見込みです。
この産業の主要市場は、日本、米国、EUなどです。 2015年のマグロとエビの輸入額は合計10億ドルに達しました。しかし、競争の激化と規制の厳格化により、ベトナム漁業全体の売上高は減少傾向にあります。TPPとEVFTAの締結に伴い、ベトナムの漁業は海外の高い基準を満たすために、養殖と加工技術への投資を必要としています。

IMF revises global growth estimates upward but warns of ongoing trade tensions, while US and China record strong second-quarter growth; central banks in holding pattern on interest rates.
The International Monetary Fund has raised global growth estimates to 3.0% for 2025 and 3.1% in 2026, according to its July 2025 World Economic Outlook Update released on July 29 (Exhibit 1). Representing an upward revision from the April update, the projections reflect “front-loading ahead of tariffs, lower effective tariff rates, better financial conditions (including a weaker US dollar), and fiscal expansion in some major jurisdictions.” Nevertheless, the IMF emphasizes that its latest projections are some 0.2 percentage points below its pre–April 2 forecasts, “indicating that the trade tensions are hurting the global economy.”
The IMF suggests global inflation is expected to fall, while US inflation is predicted to stay above target. It anticipates global inflation reaching 4.2% in 2025 and 3.6% in 2026. It has flagged the downside risks from potentially higher tariffs, elevated uncertainty, and persistent geopolitical tensions, urging policymakers to make “restoring confidence, predictability, and sustainability” a priority. Notably, the Washington-based institution highlighted the need to reduce trade policy uncertainty and for countries to address fiscal vulnerabilities.
Meanwhile, the tariff story continues to unfold. A day after the IMF urged a reduction in tariff uncertainty, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing 50% tariffs on Brazilian imports to the United States. On July 31, further tariff announcements saw the US’s near neighbors—Mexico and Canada—each fare somewhat differently. Canadian goods now face a 35% tariff (up from 25%) on all products not covered by the US–Mexico–Canada trade agreement, while the White House held the import tax rate for Mexican goods at 25% for 90 days as talks with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum continue.
Moreover, in the case of Canada, goods transshipped to another country to evade the new tariffs would be subject to a transshipment levy of 40%, the White House says. Among other countries to be hit with significant tariffs are Switzerland (39%), India (25%), and Taiwan (20%). Earlier in the month, the United States announced that it had reached new trade agreements with the European Union and Japan. In both cases, the deals establish new tariffs on most exports to the US at a rate of 15%. The framework deal with Europe also includes a commitment to purchase $750 billion in US energy over the next three years.
What does this mean for the US tax take? The latest US customs duties data show that new tariffs have increased monthly import tax revenue by about $6.5 billion, to $21.5 billion. If the current trajectory continues, new tariffs might bring about $250 billion to $300 billion into US government coffers in 2025.
July was largely uneventful in terms of monetary policy, with only Russia cutting its policy rate by 200 basis points, to 18%, hard on the heels of a 100-basis-point cut the previous month.
Initial GDP estimates for Q2 2025 indicate that the US economy grew 3% (quarter on quarter, annualized), primarily driven by household consumption and an improvement in net trade due to a significant decline in imports. Meanwhile, China’s second-quarter GDP growth rate was reported at 5.2% year on year, almost in line with the pace of growth in the first quarter (5.4%). The government set the annual target at 5.0% earlier this year.
Global consumer confidence has recently seen a slight increase, driven mainly by improvements in sentiment among US and UK consumers. However, US consumer confidence deteriorated in June, dropping by 5.4 points to 93.0, according to the Conference Board. In the eurozone, consumer confidence edged up by 0.6 points in July but remained well below its long-term average, highlighting continued caution among households.
Despite this, consumers—especially in some developed economies—continue to spend, while China has seen some deceleration. In the US, retail and food services sales rose by 0.6% in June to $720.1 billion, up from $715.5 billion in May. In contrast, eurozone retail sales weakened in May, falling 0.7% month on month but increasing 1.8% year on year. In India, the strength of domestic demand was underlined by figures from the Retail Association of India showing an 8% year-on-year retail sales increase in June.
In July, financial markets’ expectations for short-term and long-term inflation edged up to 2.5%. In the United States, median inflation expectations declined slightly to 3.0% for the one-year-ahead horizon and remained stable at 3.0% and 2.6% for the three- and five-year horizons, respectively.
On the commodities markets, copper prices have surged, driven by the US imposing a 50% tariff on imported copper and ongoing supply chain constraints.
After a brief increase in June, overall energy markets calmed and resumed their downward trajectory. Headline agriculture prices remained stable in July; however, underlying categories experienced some volatility.
Inflation ticked up across the board, partly driven by higher import prices (Exhibit 2). However, the deflationary environment in China persists, while consumers in other emerging markets caught a break due to slowing price increases.
Among the advanced economies, US headline inflation rose 2.7% year over year in June (up from 2.4% in May), while core inflation ticked up to 2.9% (annualized).
Eurozone inflation stabilized around the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) 2% target, but services inflation remained elevated at 3.3% in June. UK inflation increased to 3.6% in June, compared with 3.4% in May, with broad-based increases across most consumption categories. India’s headline consumer price inflation slowed for the eighth consecutive month, reaching 2.1% in July—the lowest reading since 2019.
However, core inflation, which excludes the more volatile food and energy components, has been rising steadily since mid-2024 to reach 4.5%.
国际货币基金组织（IMF）表示，全球通胀预计将下降，而美国通胀预计将保持在目标水平之上。IMF预计2025年全球通胀率将达到4.2%，2026年将达到3.6%。
IMF指出了潜在的关税上调、不确定性加剧以及持续的地缘政治紧张局势带来的下行风险，并敦促政策制定者将“恢复信心、可预测性和可持续性”作为优先事项。值得注意的是，这家总部位于华盛顿的机构强调了减少贸易政策不确定性以及各国应对财政脆弱性的必要性。
与此同时，关税问题仍在持续发酵。在IMF敦促降低关税不确定性的第二天，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普签署了一项行政命令，对巴西输美产品征收50%的关税。7月31日，随着进一步的关税公告发布，美国的近邻——墨西哥和加拿大——的处境略有不同。
目前，所有未涵盖在美墨加贸易协定中的加拿大商品都将面临35%的关税（此前为25%）。
与此同时，白宫在与墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·申鲍姆的谈判仍在进行之际，将墨西哥商品的进口税率维持在25%不变，为期90天。
此外，白宫表示，就加拿大而言，为逃避新关税而转运至其他国家的商品将被征收40%的转运税。其他将被征收高额关税的国家包括瑞士（39%）、印度（25%）和台湾（20%）。
本月早些时候，美国宣布与欧盟和日本达成了新的贸易协定。这两项协议都对大多数输美产品征收15%的新关税。
与欧洲达成的框架协议还包括承诺在未来三年购买价值7500亿美元的美国能源。这对美国的税收意味着什么？美国最新关税数据显示，新关税使每月进口税收入增加约65亿美元，达到215亿美元。如果目前的趋势持续下去，到2025年，新关税可能为美国政府带来约2500亿至3000亿美元的收入。
7月份货币政策方面基本平静，只有俄罗斯在上个月下调100个基点后，将政策利率下调了200个基点，至18%。
2025年第二季度GDP初步估计显示，美国经济增长3%（环比增长，折合成年率），主要得益于家庭消费和进口大幅下降导致的净贸易改善。
与此同时，中国第二季度GDP同比增长5.2%，几乎与第一季度（5.4%）的增长速度持平。政府今年早些时候设定的年度目标为5.0%。
全球消费者信心近期略有回升，主要得益于美国和英国消费者情绪的改善。然而，根据世界大型企业联合会的数据，美国消费者信心在6月份有所下降，下降了5.4点，至93.0。
欧元区消费者信心在7月份小幅上升了0.6点，但仍远低于长期平均水平，凸显出家庭消费依然谨慎。
尽管如此，消费者（尤其是一些发达经济体的消费者）仍在继续消费，而中国消费者的消费则有所放缓。
美国6月份零售和食品服务销售额增长0.6%，至7201亿美元，高于5月份的7155亿美元。
相比之下，欧元区5月份零售额有所减弱，环比下降0.7%，但同比增长1.8%。印度零售协会的数据显示，6月份印度零售额同比增长8%，突显了国内需求的强劲。
7月份，金融市场对短期和长期通胀的预期均小幅上升至2.5%。美国通胀预期中值在未来一年略有下降，至3.0%，三年和五年通胀预期中值分别稳定在3.0%和2.6%。
大宗商品市场方面，受美国对进口铜征收50%关税以及持续的供应链限制影响，铜价飙升。
在6月份短暂上涨之后，整体能源市场趋于平静，并重拾下行轨迹。7月份农产品价格总体保持稳定，但基础类别价格有所波动。
通胀率全面上升，部分原因是进口价格上涨（图表2）。然而，中国的通缩环境持续存在，而其他新兴市场的消费者则因价格上涨放缓而稍有喘息。
在发达经济体中，美国6月份总体通胀率同比上涨2.7%（高于5月份的2.4%），核心通胀率小幅上升至2.9%（年化）。欧元区通胀率稳定在欧洲央行2%的目标附近，但6月份服务业通胀率仍维持在3.3%的高位。
英国6月份通胀率升至3.6%，高于5月份的3.4%，大多数消费类别均出现普遍上涨。印度的通胀率也低于5月份的3.4%。
Africa Eyes 4% Growth by 2026, Says AfDB Outlook
AfDB projects 4% growth for Africa by 2026, urging smarter domestic capital use to counter inflation, debt, and financial leakages.
Africa’s economy is projected to increase from 3.3 percent growth in 2024 to 3.9 percent in 2025, reaching 4 percent in 2026, despite mounting geopolitical uncertainties and trade tensions, the African Development Bank Group said Tuesday in its flagship 2025 African Economic Outlook report.
Despite the prevailing domestic and external challenges Africa continues to demonstrate notable resilience. The report, titled “Making Africa’s Capital Work Better for Africa’s Development,” was released during the Bank Group’s 2025 Annual Meetings, taking place in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. It demonstrates the continent’s capacity to weather multiple shocks while identifying pathways to unlock a vast potential for transformation.
Strong growth outlook despite global headwinds
The report presents encouraging projections despite significant challenges:
Mixed growth performance across Africa’s regions
Growth prospects vary significantly across regions: East Africa leads with a projected 5.9 percent growth in 2025-2026, driven by resilience in Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Tanzania. West Africa maintains solid 4.3 percent growth, driven by new oil and gas production coming onstream in Senegal and Niger. In the face of persistent headwinds, North Africa is expected to register 3.6 percent growth in 2025. In Central Africa, growth is projected to slow to 3.2% and Southern Africa will grow at only 2.2 percent, with its largest economy, South Africa, expected to achieve only 0.8 percent growth
Significant challenges persist. Fifteen countries are experiencing double-digit inflation, while interest payments now consume 27.5 percent of government revenue across Africa, up from 19 percent in 2019.
Massive domestic resource potential remains untapped
The AEO 2025 estimates that, with the right policies, Africa could mobilize an additional $1.43 trillion in domestic resources from tax and non-tax revenue sources through efficiency gains alone. Africa’s extraordinary but underutilized resource base includes:
Urgent action needed to address resource leakages
The report stresses that massive capital outflows are undermining the continent’s development. Compared to $190.7 billion of financial inflows received in 2022, Africa lost approximately $587 billion from financial leakages. Of this, around $90 billion was lost to illicit financial flows, a further $275 billion siphoned away by multinational corporations shifting profits, and $148 billion lost to corruption.
The report also calls for comprehensive reforms across several critical areas. On fiscal revenue mobilization, it recommends enhancing tax administration through digitalization, broadening national tax bases, and strengthening social contracts with citizens to improve compliance. It advocates making natural capital accounting mandatory and enforcing domestic value retention through beneficiation requirements.
The AEO also emphasizes the need to deepen financial markets by tapping institutional savings, developing local currency bond markets, and harmonizing regulatory frameworks to facilitate cross-border investment.
The African Economic Outlook: The 2025 African Economic Outlook provides a comprehensive roadmap for unlocking Africa’s transformation potential through better mobilization and utilization of domestic capital resources.
アフリカ開発銀行（AfDB）の見通しによると、アフリカは2026年までに4%の成長を目指す
AfDBは、アフリカ経済が2026年までに4%の成長を達成すると予測し、インフレ、債務、そして資金流出に対抗するため、より賢明な国内資本の活用を促している。
アフリカ開発銀行（AfDB）グループは火曜日、主要報告書「2025年アフリカ経済見通し」の中で、地政学的不確実性と貿易摩擦の高まりにもかかわらず、アフリカ経済は2024年の3.3%から2025年には3.9%に、そして2026年には4%に達すると予測していると述べた。
国内外で課題が蔓延しているにもかかわらず、アフリカは依然として顕著な回復力を示している。「アフリカの資本をアフリカの開発により効果的に活用する」と題されたこの報告書は、コートジボワールのアビジャンで開催されたAfDBグループの2025年年次総会で発表された。
この報告書は、アフリカ大陸が複数のショックを乗り越え、変革の大きな可能性を解き放つ道筋を見出す能力を示している。
世界的な逆風にもかかわらず、力強い成長見通し
この報告書は、大きな課題にもかかわらず、明るい見通しを示している。
21カ国のアフリカ諸国が2025年に5%を超える成長率を達成する見込みで、エチオピア、ニジェール、ルワンダ、セネガルの4カ国は、貧困削減と包摂的成長に必要な重要な7%の閾値に達する可能性がある。
アフリカの予測成長率は世界平均を上回り、アジアの新興国および発展途上国を除く他のほとんどの地域を上回る。
アフリカの継続的な回復力は、効果的な国内改革とマクロ経済運営の改善に基づいている。
アフリカの地域間で成長はまちまち
成長見通しは地域によって大きく異なる。東アフリカは、エチオピア、ルワンダ、タンザニアの回復力に牽引され、2025～2026年に5.9%の成長率を達成すると予測されており、アフリカをリードする。
西アフリカは、セネガルとニジェールで新たに石油・ガス生産が開始されたことに牽引され、堅調な4.3%の成長を維持しています。北アフリカは、根強い逆風の中、2025年には3.6%の成長を記録すると予測されています。
中央アフリカでは成長率が3.2%に鈍化すると予測され、南アフリカはわずか2.2%の成長にとどまり、最大の経済大国である南アフリカでもわずか0.8%の成長にとどまると見込まれています。
依然として大きな課題が残っています。
15カ国が2桁のインフレを経験している一方で、アフリカ全体の政府収入に占める利払い費の割合は27.5%に達しており、これは2019年の19%から増加しています。
膨大な国内資源の潜在力が未活用のまま残されています。AEO 2025は、適切な政策を講じることで、アフリカは効率性の向上のみで、税収と非税収からさらに1兆4,300億ドルの国内資源を動員できると推定しています。アフリカには、未活用ながらも驚異的な資源基盤が存在します。
自然資本：アフリカは世界の鉱物資源埋蔵量の30%を保有しており、2030年までに主要なグリーンミネラルから予測される収益16兆ドルのうち、10%以上を獲得する可能性があります。
人的資本：アフリカ大陸の中央年齢は19歳であり、人口ボーナスの恩恵を受けています。これは、労働力参加率の向上を通じて、アフリカのGDPに470億ドルの押し上げ効果をもたらす可能性があります。
金融資本：年金基金の資産は1兆1000億ドルに増加しており、送金コストが削減されれば、正式な送金は2035年までに5000億ドルに達する可能性があります。
事業資本：アフリカ大陸自由貿易圏（AFCTA）の完全実施により、2035年までに輸出が5600億ドル増加し、アフリカ大陸全体の所得が4500億ドル増加する可能性があります。
資源流出への対策が緊急に必要
報告書は、大規模な資本流出がアフリカ大陸の発展を阻害していると強調しています。 2022年にアフリカが受け取った資金流入額は1,907億ドルでしたが、金融流出により約5,870億ドルの損失が発生しました。
このうち、約900億ドルは不正な資金流入によって、さらに2,750億ドルは多国籍企業による利益移転によって流用され、1,480億ドルは汚職によって失われました。
報告書はまた、いくつかの重要な分野における包括的な改革を求めています。
財政収入の確保に関しては、デジタル化による税務行政の強化、国の課税基盤の拡大、そしてコンプライアンス向上のための市民との社会契約の強化を提言しています。また、自然資本会計の義務化と、利益分配義務の導入による国内価値の保持の強化を提唱しています。
AEOはまた、機関投資家の貯蓄の活用、現地通貨建て債券市場の育成、そして国境を越えた投資を促進するための規制枠組みの調和を通じて、金融市場の深化を図る必要性を強調しています。
アフリカ経済見通し: 2025年アフリカ経済見通しは、国内資本資源のより有効な動員と活用を通じてアフリカの変革の可能性を解き放つための包括的なロードマップを示しています。
Indonesia Construction Industry Report 2025 | Output to Expand by 4.1% in Real Terms This Year, Supported by Investments in Transportation Infrastructure Projects - Forecast to 2029
The construction industry in Indonesia is expected to expand by 4.1% in real terms in 2025. This will be supported by investments in transportation infrastructure projects, particularly rail and road infrastructure projects, coupled with rising public and private sector investments in housing and power construction projects.
Furthermore, growth will also be supported by rising foreign direct investments (FDI) in the country. According to the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry, the FDI in the country reached IDR219.9 trillion ($13.7 billion) in the first quarter of 2025, marking a year-on-year (YoY) growth of 12.7%. Mining sector accounted for approximately 23% of the total realized investment in Q1 2025, which is equivalent to approximately IDR104.3 trillion ($6.5 billion).
The analyst expects the industry to register an average annual growth of 5.9% from 2026 to 2029, supported by rising investments in renewable energy, housing and transport infrastructure sectors. In April 2025, Indonesia's sovereign wealth fund, Danantara, and Qatar announced plans to invest IDR64.2 trillion ($4 billion) in Indonesia. The funding will prioritize large-scale construction and infrastructure projects.
This partnership aims to accelerate development in sectors such as transportation, energy, and urban development, supporting Indonesia's ambitious growth targets. Among other recent developments, in April 2025, Indonesia launched Phase II (2025-2029) of construction for its new capital, Nusantara, with a state budget allocation of IDR44.9 trillion ($2.8 billion). This phase will focus on completing legislative and judicial complexes, expanding infrastructure, and maintaining existing amenities.
Jakarta, June 23, 2025 — Indonesia’s economy grew at an annual rate of 4.9 percent in the first quarter of 2025, despite challenging global conditions, according to People-First Housing: A Roadmap from Homes to Jobs to Prosperity in Indonesia, the June 2025 edition of the Indonesia Economic Prospects (IEP) report.
Robust macroeconomic policies, including low inflation, adequate financial buffers, and strict adherence to fiscal rules, have been instrumental in bolstering Indonesia's economic resilience.
These measures have helped manage reduced government consumption and slower investment. Economic growth has benefitted the poorest groups, but its return diminished for wealthier groups of middle-classes as reflected by slower consumption growth for aspiring middle-class households. Focusing on generating better jobs that maintains middle-class standards of living will be important for the future.
“Indonesia’s current economic performance reflects its strong fundamentals and sound policy response,” said Carolyn Turk, World Bank Division Director for Indonesia and Timor-Leste. “To sustain this momentum, our analysis suggests that efficiency- and productivity-boosting structural reforms could unlock higher growth, reverse declining productivity trends, and create more and better jobs for Indonesians.”
However, the outlook is subject to downside risks from global trade challenges and commodity price volatility.
The government’s focus on deregulation, a more conducive business environment, trade and digital reforms could help navigate those risks and boost growth to 5.5 percent annually by 2027. These reforms accompany the government’s efforts to stimulate demand through its priority programs.
The report underscores the potential of the housing sector as a catalyst for inclusive growth. The government’s goal of delivering 3 million housing units a year aligns with its “people-first” strategy. With US$3.8 billion in annual public investment, the housing program could create over 2.3 million jobs and mobilize US$2.8 billion in private capital while improving living conditions and economic opportunity for millions of Indonesians. The report recommends four actions to achieve this vision: expanding investments in housing and infrastructure, reforming public housing finance to mobilize private capital, integrating disaster resilience into housing policy, and strengthening governance and coordination across sectors and levels of government.
“Indonesia’s housing program is not only about building homes—it’s also about building a stronger, more inclusive economy,” said Habib Rab, Lead Economist at the World Bank in Indonesia. “By putting people first and aligning housing policy with infrastructure, finance, and disaster resilience, Indonesia can unlock new pathways to prosperity.”
Laporan Industri Konstruksi Indonesia 2025 | Output Riil Tumbuh 4,1% Tahun Ini, Didukung Investasi Proyek Infrastruktur Transportasi - Proyeksi hingga 2029
Industri konstruksi di Indonesia diperkirakan tumbuh 4,1% secara riil pada tahun 2025. Hal ini akan didukung oleh investasi pada proyek infrastruktur transportasi, khususnya proyek infrastruktur perkeretaapian dan jalan raya, serta meningkatnya investasi sektor publik dan swasta dalam proyek perumahan dan ketenagalistrikan.
Selain itu, pertumbuhan juga akan didukung oleh meningkatnya investasi asing langsung (FDI) di Indonesia. Menurut Kementerian Investasi dan Industri Hilir, FDI di Indonesia mencapai Rp219,9 triliun ($13,7 miliar) pada kuartal pertama tahun 2025, menandai pertumbuhan tahunan (year-on-year/yoy) sebesar 12,7%. Sektor pertambangan menyumbang sekitar 23% dari total investasi yang terealisasi pada kuartal pertama tahun 2025, yang setara dengan sekitar Rp104,3 triliun ($6,5 miliar).
Analis memperkirakan industri ini akan mencatat pertumbuhan tahunan rata-rata sebesar 5,9% dari tahun 2026 hingga 2029, didukung oleh meningkatnya investasi di sektor energi terbarukan, perumahan, dan infrastruktur transportasi. Pada bulan April 2025, dana investasi negara Indonesia, Danantara, dan Qatar mengumumkan rencana investasi sebesar Rp64,2 triliun ($4 miliar) di Indonesia. Pendanaan ini akan memprioritaskan proyek konstruksi dan infrastruktur berskala besar.
Kemitraan ini bertujuan untuk mempercepat pembangunan di berbagai sektor seperti transportasi, energi, dan pembangunan perkotaan, yang mendukung target pertumbuhan Indonesia yang ambisius. Di antara perkembangan terbaru lainnya, pada bulan April 2025, Indonesia meluncurkan Tahap II (2025-2029) pembangunan ibu kota barunya, Nusantara, dengan alokasi anggaran negara sebesar Rp44,9 triliun ($2,8 miliar). Tahap ini akan berfokus pada penyelesaian kompleks legislatif dan yudikatif, perluasan infrastruktur, dan pemeliharaan fasilitas yang ada.
Jakarta, 23 Juni 2025—Perekonomian Indonesia tumbuh pada tingkat tahunan sebesar 4,9 persen pada kuartal pertama tahun 2025, meskipun menghadapi kondisi global yang menantang, menurut People-First Housing: A Roadmap from Homes to Jobs to Prosperity in Indonesia, edisi Juni 2025 dari laporan Prospek Ekonomi Indonesia (IEP).
Kebijakan ekonomi makro yang kuat, termasuk inflasi yang rendah, penyangga keuangan yang memadai, dan kepatuhan yang ketat terhadap aturan fiskal, telah berperan penting dalam memperkuat ketahanan ekonomi Indonesia.
Langkah-langkah ini telah membantu mengelola penurunan konsumsi pemerintah dan investasi yang lebih lambat. Pertumbuhan ekonomi telah menguntungkan kelompok termiskin, tetapi manfaatnya berkurang bagi kelompok kelas menengah yang lebih kaya, sebagaimana tercermin dari pertumbuhan konsumsi yang lebih lambat bagi rumah tangga kelas menengah yang bercita-cita menjadi negara maju. Berfokus pada penciptaan lapangan kerja yang lebih baik yang mempertahankan standar hidup kelas menengah akan menjadi penting untuk masa depan.
“Kinerja ekonomi Indonesia saat ini mencerminkan fundamental yang kuat dan respons kebijakan yang tepat,” kata Carolyn Turk, Direktur Divisi Bank Dunia untuk Indonesia dan Timor-Leste. “Untuk mempertahankan momentum ini, analisis kami menunjukkan bahwa reformasi struktural yang meningkatkan efisiensi dan produktivitas dapat membuka pertumbuhan yang lebih tinggi, membalikkan tren penurunan produktivitas, dan menciptakan lapangan kerja yang lebih banyak dan lebih baik bagi masyarakat Indonesia.”
Laporan tersebut memproyeksikan bahwa ekonomi Indonesia akan tumbuh pada tingkat tahunan rata-rata 4,8 persen selama tahun 2025–2027. Investasi diperkirakan akan meningkat, didorong oleh inisiatif perumahan pemerintah dan peluncuran dana kekayaan negara baru, Danantara.
Namun, prospeknya rentan terhadap risiko penurunan dari tantangan perdagangan global dan volatilitas harga komoditas.
Fokus pemerintah pada deregulasi, lingkungan bisnis yang lebih kondusif, reformasi perdagangan, dan digital dapat membantu menavigasi risiko-risiko tersebut dan mendorong pertumbuhan hingga 5,5 persen per tahun pada tahun 2027. Reformasi ini sejalan dengan upaya pemerintah untuk merangsang permintaan melalui program-program prioritasnya.
Laporan ini menggarisbawahi potensi sektor perumahan sebagai katalisator pertumbuhan inklusif. Tujuan pemerintah untuk menyediakan 3 juta unit rumah per tahun sejalan dengan strategi "mengutamakan rakyat". Dengan investasi publik tahunan sebesar US$3,8 miliar, program perumahan ini dapat menciptakan lebih dari 2,3 juta lapangan kerja dan memobilisasi modal swasta sebesar US$2,8 miliar sekaligus meningkatkan kondisi hidup dan peluang ekonomi bagi jutaan masyarakat Indonesia. Laporan ini merekomendasikan empat tindakan untuk mencapai visi ini: memperluas investasi di bidang perumahan dan infrastruktur, mereformasi pembiayaan perumahan umum untuk memobilisasi modal swasta, mengintegrasikan ketahanan bencana ke dalam kebijakan perumahan, dan memperkuat tata kelola dan koordinasi lintas sektor dan jenjang pemerintahan.
“Program perumahan Indonesia bukan hanya tentang membangun rumah—tetapi juga tentang membangun ekonomi yang lebih kuat dan inklusif,” kata Habib Rab, Ekonom Utama Bank Dunia di Indonesia. “Dengan mengutamakan masyarakat dan menyelaraskan kebijakan perumahan dengan infrastruktur, keuangan, dan ketahanan bencana, Indonesia dapat membuka jalan baru menuju kesejahteraan.”

is an executive department of the U.S. federal government concerned with promoting economic growth. Among its tasks are gathering economic and demographic data for business and government decision making, and helping to set industrial standards.
The United States is an Indo-Pacific economic power, and expanding U.S. economic leadership in the region is good for American workers and businesses — as well as for the people of the region. IPEF will enable the United States and our allies to decide on rules of the road that ensure American workers, small businesses, and ranchers can compete in the Indo-Pacific.
As the President has said, tackling inflation is a top economic priority, and this framework will help lower costs by making our supply chains more resilient in the long term, protecting us against costly disruptions that lead to higher prices for consumers.
U.S. foreign direct investment in the region totaled more than $969 billion in 2020 and has nearly doubled in the last decade, and we are the leading exporter of services to the region, helping fuel regional growth.

Critical Metals in line for $120M US loan to fund Greenland rare earth project
Critical Metals Corp. (NASDAQ: CRML) has been tapped by the US Export-Import Bank (EXIM) for a loan worth up to $120 million to fund the company’s Tanbreez rare earth project in southern Greenland, as first reported by Reuters.
The Tanbreez project — situated on a 4.7-billion-tonne mineralized kakortokite unit that has been largely unexplored — represents one of the world’s largest rare earth deposits.
According to Reuters, the EXIM funds — representing nearly half of the project’s estimated cost of $290 million — would be used for technical work ahead of first production by 2026.
Once operational, the Tanbreez mine is initially expected to produce 85,000 tonnes of rare earth concentrates per year, then scaled up to 425,000 tonnes following a modular expansion. Its mining licence is valid until 2050.
The production forecast is based on an estimated resource of 45 million tonnes, or just 1% of the host rock. According to company estimates, the Tanbreez resource has one of the largest heavy rare earth contents (Dy, Tb, Y) globally over 27%.
Earlier this year, Critical Metals released an economic assessment for the Tanbreez project, showing a net present value of approximately $3 billion (approximately $2.8 billion to $3.6 billion at discount rates of 15% and 12.5%, respectively, before tax) and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 180%.
As part of its efforts to de-risk the asset ahead of production, the company is in the process of completing a definitive feasibility study for Tanbreez, which would include more details such as project timelines. The study is expected by the end of 2025.
Critical Metals also said it expects to invest another $10 million in exploration this year, so that it would trigger the option to acquire an additional 50.5% of the asset, bringing its total ownership to 92.5%.
EXIM, acting as the US government’s export credit agency, said in the letter that CRML qualifies for its loan program since its business competes with China.
Rare earths — a group of 17 minerals used in high-tech industries ranging from electric vehicles to defense systems — have become a focal point in the recent Sino-American trade clash, given Beijing’s leverage as the leading producer and exporter to Washington.
China currently controls roughly 60% of rare earth production and nearly all of the processing capacity worldwide. As of 2023, its total mine production was 240,000 tonnes, nearly six times that of the US. Between 2020 and 2023, China accounted for about 70% of America’s rare earth imports.
This heavy reliance on Chinese supply — which Beijing managed to weaponize in trade policy — sparked a global hunt for new rare earth mines. As of now, the US only has one active rare earth mine — the Mountain Pass in California owned by MP Materials (NYSE: MP).
As we progress through 2025, Asia continues to be shaped by trade tensions, currency fluctuations, and evolving growth models. Trade tensions remain a major concern, with tariffs continuing to cast a shadow over Asia's growth prospects. While there has been some relief from prohibitive tariff levels, uncertainty persists, particularly in the US-China trade relationship. U.S. tariffs are partly focused on reducing the persistent (and growing) trade deficit, but any progress on this front would also entail a necessary adjustment in Asia. The U.S. trade deficit is largely the flip side of Asia’s trade surplus, if the U.S. consumes less of Asia’s surplus production, the region would have to meaningfully boost domestic consumption. While this remains a longer-term structural concern, the uncertainty around trade policy is affecting corporate confidence and business investment, especially in trade-dependent economies like China, Korea, and Taiwan.
However, inflation is not a concern, with disinflationary pressures anticipated due to weaker oil prices and stronger Asian currencies. The weakening US dollar offers a silver lining, easing financial conditions and paving the way for more aggressive monetary easing across Asia. This could offset the growth drag, particularly for economies with stronger domestic demand like India.
China's economic outlook shows signs of stabilization. The drag from the property sector is easing and household consumption is showing stable growth. The manufacturing sector is rapidly adopting new technologies, supported by breakthroughs like DeepSeek, which enhance efficiency and customization. Policy support remains proactive, with measures to stabilize growth and improve business sentiment. However, trade tensions pose risks, with high tariffs potentially slowing overall trade.
Across the region, Japan faces external headwinds but maintains resilient domestic demand, supported by strong wage growth and its role in the AI supply chain. Inflation and bond yields are rising, driven by structural changes, with higher yields expected as part of interest rate normalization. Japanese equities are attractive due to corporate reforms and low foreign participation, with potential for higher allocations. Meanwhile, the semiconductor sector faces challenges from DeepSeek's launch, which has led to valuation de-rating, yet AI demand remains robust, supporting select Asian semiconductor companies. India continues to show growth momentum, supported by structural tailwinds and proactive monetary easing, with promising earnings growth in equities. Vietnam, however, faces challenges as a "China +1" strategy destination amid volatile tariffs, with high U.S. dependency exposing it to trade war risks. Overall investors remain cautious, delaying a risk-on stance due to global uncertainties, yet attractive valuations offer selective opportunities across the region.
Nearly 500 workers were taken in a raid at Hyundai’s battery plant. In a quiet Georgia town, the silence is deafening
Ellabell, Georgia —
If you drove into Ellabell, Georgia, on State Route 204 – past a few double-wides, a couple of churches and a Dollar General – you’d never guess a massive automobile complex sits just a few miles away.
The town is small, unincorporated and best known for canoeing on the Ogeechee River or teeing off at Black Creek Golf Club. Until last week, its biggest claim to fame was being chosen as the site of Hyundai’s first fully electrified vehicle and battery manufacturing campus in the United States, a project state leaders promised would bring 8,500 jobs and transform the rural economy.
The narrative cracked when, in the largest immigration raid of President Donald Trump’s second term, nearly 500 federal, state and local officers descended on the Hyundai–LG battery plant construction site and arrested 475 people.
Agents with Homeland Security Investigations said the majority were Korean nationals, though others were from different countries. Some, officials said, had crossed into the US unlawfully; others had overstayed visas; still others were on visa waivers allowing entry for tourism or business but do not permit employment.
As officers, masked and carrying rifles, fanned across the sprawling site, they ordered construction workers to line up against walls, demanded dates of birth and Social Security numbers and began sorting who would be cleared to leave and who would be loaded onto buses bound for the Folkston ICE Processing Center, more than 100 miles away.
Workers described the scene as a “war zone.” One hid in an air duct to avoid capture. Others tried to flee into a sewage pond; agents used a boat to fish them out and prosecutors later alleged one man tried to flip the vessel. By the end of the day, hundreds were gone. Construction at the 2,900-acre site stopped cold.
In Ellabell and the surrounding towns of Lanier, Pembroke, Black Creek, Eden and Meldrim, the raid landed with less visible shock than in other communities swept up by immigration crackdowns.
It is partly because the Hyundai complex is still under construction. Few of the permanent employees expected to fill 8,500 slots have been hired, and the bulk of the current workforce is transient – single men on temporary visas or contracts, rotating through for months at a time. They are not yet the long-settled family men whose sudden absence, in other towns, has torn holes in the fabric of civic life.
Forecasts for the region, which were finalized before new United States (US) tariffs were announced on 2 April, show growth in developing Asia and the Pacific moderating this year and next.
A slowdown in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) due to continued weakness in the property sector and higher US tariffs will be partially offset by higher growth in South Asia. The region will be challenged by rising trade barriers and significant trade uncertainty, but solid domestic demand and electronics exports will support growth. Regional growth is forecast at 4.9% in 2025 and 4.7% in 2026. Inflation will moderate to 2.3% in 2025 and 2.2% in 2026 as global commodity prices decline further, enabling many regional central banks to ease monetary policy.
A major trend in the global energy landscape today is the ongoing recalibration of supply chains, driven by shifting geopolitical dynamics. Nations are increasingly recognizing that energy security extends beyond basic supply and demand; it is intrinsically linked to political stability, international relations and economic resilience.
Recent conflicts near major oil and gas producers have exposed vulnerabilities in existing supply chains, prompting urgent reassessments of national energy strategies. The Strait of Hormuz, for example, through which 20% of global oil and a significant share of LNG flows, has once again become a flashpoint. Iranian threats to disrupt this 33-kilometre chokepoint sent freight rates soaring 55% month-on-month, disproportionately impacting price-sensitive South Asian economies such as Pakistan and Bangladesh. Though a temporary ceasefire has provided some relief, it underscores the need for diversified, resilient energy sources.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) has emerged as a critical buffer in this new energy equation, offering both security and flexibility. It enables rapid response to supply shocks and supports energy transitions by displacing more carbon-intensive fuels like coal. In regions such as South Asia and South-East Asia, home to fast-growing populations and rising energy demands, LNG is playing an increasingly central role.
The United States leads global LNG exports, followed by Australia and Qatar, which together account for around 60% of the global supply. US capacity is set to reach 16.4 billion cubic feet per day by 2026, driven by expansions at Corpus Christi and Golden Pass.
Since 2019, the US has been responsible for over half of all global LNG liquefaction project FIDs (final investment decisions), with Qatar contributing nearly 20%.
The Danish government has allocated a 1.6 billion kroner (approximately $253 million) financial framework in its 2026 budget proposal to support Greenland’s infrastructure development, the government announced in a statement on Tuesday.
"In connection with the proposed Finance Act for 2026, the Danish government has allocated a financial framework of a total of DKK 1.6 billion in the period 2026-2029 for initiatives and investments in Greenland, including financing the framework agreement," the statement said.
The statement came after Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen signed a framework agreement on new initiatives and investments aimed at improving Greenland's welfare and contributing to its economic development.
According to the agreement, Denmark will fund the construction of a new regional runway in eastern Greenland and a deep-water port in the south.
"It is also agreed that Denmark will, in the future, cover the costs incurred by Greenland for the treatment of Greenlandic patients in Danish hospitals. The agreement also opens up the possibility of exploring longer-term opportunities to contribute to investments in infrastructure, business development, and energy supply security," the statement noted.
Denmark will cover the costs of Greenlandic patients treated in Danish hospitals.
"After several months of discussions, I am pleased that the President of the Government of Greenland and I have today signed an agreement that will strengthen the welfare and economic development in Greenland," Frederiksen further said.
She reiterated their "shared ambition" for the agreement that will "benefit everyone" in Greenland.
"The challenges in, among other things, the health and housing areas are enormous, and this framework agreement will support our desired development in these and several other areas," Nielsen also said.
Switzerland Construction Industry Report 2025: Output to Register an AAGR of 1.6% During 2026-2029, Supported by Government Investments in Transport Infrastructure, Housing, and Energy Projects
Swiss construction industry to grow in real terms by 1.8% in 2025, supported by investments in affordable housing due to reduced interest rates, coupled with the development of renewable energy and transport infrastructure.
According to Eurostat, the Swiss construction industry's value-add rose by 2.1% year-on-year (YoY) in Q4 2024, preceded by YoY growth of 2.3% in Q3 and 0.9% in Q2 2024. The Swiss government projects that by 2040, the country will encounter a significant housing deficit and will need to construct over 500,000 new affordable housing units to satisfy the rising demand by 2040.
Furthermore, as of 2024, Switzerland's photovoltaic capacity stands at 9.2GW and is expected to expend to 15.2GW by 2026, indicating substantial growth in its transition towards renewable energy. Although the Swiss construction industry is projected to grow, it is anticipated to encounter short-term challenges due to the government's proposed budget cuts, the termination of several major infrastructure projects and the impact of trade tariffs imposed by the US.
Over the remainder of the forecast period, the construction industry is expected to record an annual average growth of 1.6% between 2026 and 2029, supported by government investments in transport infrastructure, housing, and energy projects.
Between 2025 and 2028, the Swiss Federal Council is planning to invest CHF16.4 billion ($19 billion) in railway infrastructure. Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), a Swiss railway company is planning to construct a new rail tunnel named ''Unbundling Wankdorf South - Ostermundigen'' in Bern.
The project involves the construction of a 440m tunnel between Bern Wankdorf and Ostermundigen, and the construction of a new track and a new railway technology building in Ostermundigen. The cost of the project is approximately CHF707 million ($832.2 million), and the construction is planned to commence in mid-2026.
Malaysia Positions For Steady 2026 Growth As Domestic Demand Cushions Global Risks
Malaysia is expected to sustain moderate yet resilient growth in 2026 as strong domestic demand offsets the drag from a volatile global trade environment, the Finance Ministry (MoF) said in its Pre-Budget Statement 2026.
The ministry projected that private investment, stable employment and targeted income measures, including cash transfers and wage hikes, will anchor the economy, with Visit Malaysia 2026 expected to significantly lift the services sector.
“Budget 2026 will focus on strengthening domestic growth drivers, diversifying export markets and expanding household income opportunities,” the ministry stated, adding that strategic projects under the 13th Malaysia Plan and the GEAR-uP programme will channel fresh public and private capital into high-growth sectors.
Momentum Building Into 2026
MoF shared that the economy grew 4.4% in the first quarter of 2025 (1Q25), with an advance estimate showing 2Q25 growth at 4.5%, supported by robust household spending, investment and construction. Full-year GDP is forecast at 4%-4.8%.
“Inflation slowed to a 52-month low of 1.1% in June 2025, while unemployment fell to 3%, underscoring labour market strength.
“The fiscal deficit is on track to narrow to 3.8% in 2025, from 4.1% a year earlier, as new debt issuance trends lower,” the ministry said.
Currency Strength and Investment Confidence
For the local currency, the ministry said it has emerged as one of Asia’s best-performing currencies, gaining 5.8% year-to-date to RM4.2270 against the US dollar.
“Despite a challenging global environment, demand for the ringgit remains supported by strong economic fundamentals and investor confidence,” MoF said.
The ministry highlighted that Malaysia secured RM384.4 billion in approved investments in 2024, the second consecutive year of record inflows, and improved 11 places to 23rd in the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking 2025, the highest jump among all economies surveyed.
Targeted Support and Infrastructure Push
On the domestic end, MoF said the government has boosted allocations for Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah and Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) to RM15 billion, alongside a one-off RM100 SARA credit for all adults.
The ministry also shared that major infrastructure projects advancing in 2026 include LRT3, the Electric Train Service extension to Johor Bahru, the East Coast Rail Link and the Rapid Transit System Link.
“In Sabah and Sarawak, priorities include the Pan Borneo Highway, clean water projects and rural electrification.
“With fiscal consolidation on track, a strong currency and record investment momentum, Malaysia enters 2026 with a solid domestic growth base even as external uncertainties persist,” MoF said.
Indonesia’s large population and strong domestic demand is contributing to its positive growth outlook. With a population of 250 million, over 50% of whom live in urban areas, Indonesia has a large domestic market. And, a growing and affluent middle class supports GDP growth, where approximately 60% of GDP is derived from private consumption1.
Infrastructure is a strong platform to support and sustain economic growth in Indonesia.

Thailand Construction Industry Report 2025: Output to Grow by 5.9% this Year, Supported by Investments in Tourism, Digital Infrastructure, and Export Activities - Forecasts to 2029 -
The analyst expects the construction industry in Thailand to grow by 5.9% in real terms in 2025, supported by investments in tourism and digital infrastructure, coupled with an increase in export activities.
Under the 2025 Budget, the government allocated THB193.3 billion ($5.7 billion) to the Ministry of Transport, an increase of 5.5% compared to the 2024 Budget allocation. The Department of Highways received THB127.5 billion ($3.7 billion), followed by the Department of Rural Roads with THB50.6 billion ($1.5 billion), under the 2025 Budget. In October 2025, the government also launched a TRY2.7 trillion ($78.6 billion) investment initiative to transform Thailand's rail networks, upgrade key airports, and promote green logistics to reduce road congestion by 2030, as part of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) Action Plan for 2021-2030.
Growth in 2025 will also be supported by the country's efforts to attract 40 million international tourists in 2025. The Thai government is planning to work with global travel agencies to promote tourism in the country, targeting to increase tourism revenue by 7.5% in 2025, approximately THB3.4 trillion ($99.7 billion) as part of the "Amazing Thailand Grand Tourism Year 2025" campaign.
Over the remainder of the forecast period, the construction industry is expected to grow at an annual average rate of 4.1% between 2026 and 2029, driven by transportation and renewable sector investments. In February 2025, Thailand's Ministry of Transport discussed the investment details of the expansion of Laem Chabang Port Phase 3 project with a Switzerland-based container terminals group, Terminal Investment (TiL).
The project includes the development of four sections, marine construction, terminal infrastructure, rail connectivity, and digitized port operations. The industry's growth over the forecast period will be supported by the draft National Power Development Plan (PDP 2024-2037) of Thailand, which aims to increase the renewable energy share from 26% in 2024 to 51% by 2037. In November 2024, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) announced its plan to develop three large-scale pumped storage hydropower plants at dams in Kanchanaburi, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Chaiyaphum with an investment of THB90 billion ($2.6 billion).
These plants are expected to be completed by the end of 2037. Furthermore, plans for the construction of two hyperscale data centers in the country was approved by the Thai Board of Investment (BOI) in November 2024. The data center projects, worth THB60 billion ($1.8 billion) together, are expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
The Ministry of Transport will be among the primary beneficiaries of the fund. Out of a total of 500 billion, a substantial 166 billion is earmarked for the transportation infrastructure: 107 billion for the rail system; 52 billion for federal roads; 8 billion for waterways.
«Today is where things really start”, declared the Federal Transport Minister Patrick Schnieder, emphasizing that the initial priority will be the maintenance and renovation of the existing network, particularly bridges and railway infrastructure. «But in the coming years, we will also have to look at new infrastructure,» he added.
In a July interview with the German news agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA), Deutsche Bahn Chief Executive Richard Lutz commented positively on the investment plan: «The fact that we are receiving additional money from the special fund is excellent news». The coalition government will send the draft budget to the Bundestag parliament for approval in September.
The decision to reinvest in public infrastructure, particularly in transport, has already been embraced by other European countries, notably Italy. Italy has allocated a significant portion of its NextGenerationEU resources precisely to the development of its transport systems, starting with railway infrastructure.
The focus is on the Mezzogiorno (the South of Italy), where an unprecedented transformation is underway thanks to the commitment of the Webuild Group, currently working on 19 strategic projects along the main infrastructure axes. Among the ongoing works are: the Naples–Bari High-Speed railway line; the Palermo–Catania–Messina High-Capacity line; the Salerno–Reggio Calabria High-Speed rail line; the Ragusa–Catania highway corridor.
Once completed, the high-speed lines will join the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T), which is designed to connect better EU member states, reduce CO2 emissions by emphasizing rail transport rather than road infrastructure, and improve the competitiveness of the EU’s economy.
In a Europe seeking new ways to sustain growth and address environmental challenges, Germany’s shift marks a paradigm change: no longer cuts, but strategic investments.
Building transportation Finfrastructure doesn’t just mean opening construction sites; it means boosting the real economy, creating jobs, connecting territories, and ensuring a more sustainable and competitive future for everyone.
Southeast Asia’s cultural diversity, economic potential, and geopolitical weight have made it a focal point for global players seeking both influence and economic gains. As leading Indo-Pacific economies, India and China are actively investing in the region to secure their positions in the evolving geopolitical landscape.
Strategically located between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Southeast Asia provides access to vital trade routes and holds immense potential for economic growth. Both India and China have deepened diplomatic ties and channelled investments into regional infrastructures to solidify their foothold and advance their strategic interests.
In South and Southeast Asia, infrastructure initiatives encompassing roads, communication networks, and trade hubs accentuate the intersection of political dynamics and cultural legacies stemming from colonial histories and present-day geopolitical contexts.[a] In the context of Myanmar and Thailand, infrastructure becomes a tool for state control, strategic expansion, and regional alignments.
Assessing China’s and India’s infrastructure investments in Myanmar and Thailand is important for understanding Southeast Asia’s evolving strategic dynamics. As regional powers, the infrastructural investments being made by India and China are not just economic but also political. China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) seeks to connect its southern provinces to Southeast Asia through a network of roads, railways, and ports, with Myanmar and Thailand playing pivotal roles. India, meanwhile, through initiatives like the India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway (IMT-TH) launched in 2002, and the Kaladan Multimodal Transit Transport Project (KMMTTP) of 2008 aims to develop its northeastern region and strengthen connectivity with Southeast Asia.
Monitoring these investments reveals how both powers are shaping the region’s economic and political landscape. Large-scale investments can alter the socio-political landscape, especially in regions affected by ethnic conflict or insurgency.
The rest of this paper examines the political dynamics around infrastructure projects in the region, emphasising their broader geopolitical implications. It analyses how both India and China engage with the ASEAN to further their strategic and economic objectives; and underlines the challenges and opportunities associated with their infrastructure projects in the region.
Myanmar holds strategic importance for China due to its abundant resources, favourable geographic position along the Bay of Bengal, and shared land border, which facilitates cost-effective overland oil transport to Beijing. From 1988 to June 2019, approved Chinese investment in Myanmar exceeded US$25 billion, representing nearly 26 percent of the total FDI. Since the coup in 2021 till 2023, Myanmar has received US$ 3 billion in FDI from China.In 2024, China remains Myanmar’s major trading partner and third-largest foreign investor, after Singapore and Thailand, leading numerous infrastructure projects, particularly under the rubric of the BRI.
China has remained a dominant player in Myanmar since 1988. Myanmar’s transformation into a semi-military regime in 2010, followed by economic liberalisation and political reforms in 2011, encouraged a diversification of foreign partnerships beyond China. Western nations, including the United States (US), the European Union (EU), the United Kingdom (UK), Australia, and Canada, re-engaged with the country after decades of sanctions. The US lifted most restrictions between 2012 and 2016, allowing companies like Coca-Cola, General Electric, Chevron, and Ford to invest in manufacturing, energy, and financial services.The EU granted Myanmar Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP) status in 2013, boosting investment in energy (TotalEnergies), telecommunications (Norway’s Telenor), and garment manufacturing.
The UK also expanded its presence, with British firms investing in oil and gas (Shell), finance, and retail, while Australia and Canada had smaller stakes in mining, infrastructure, and financial services.
Meanwhile, Japan, Singapore, and other Asian economies also became key players in Myanmar’s growth. Japan, through its Official Development Assistance (ODA), financed infrastructure projects such as the Thilawa Special Economic Zone and urban development initiatives in Yangon, while also investing in banking and telecommunications.
Singapore emerged as one of Myanmar’s largest investors, focusing on real estate, finance, and hospitality. Thailand maintained its dominance in the energy sector, especially in natural gas extraction, while South Korea invested in telecommunications and light manufacturing.
South Korea has a very advanced and modern infrastructure, which has been expanding since the 1960s. Both the South Korean government and the private sector are involved in the financing, construction, and operation of various infrastructure projects and services.

SINGAPORE, 6 January 2025 – Digital Edge (Singapore) Holdings Pte Ltd. (“Digital Edge”), a leading developer and operator of interconnection and hyperscale edge data centers across Asia and portfolio company of Stonepeak, a leading alternative investment firm specializing in infrastructure and real assets, today announced it has raised over US$1.6 billion in new capital through a combination of equity and debt financing to fuel its next phase of growth.
The capital raise includes approximately $640 million of equity investment from both existing and new investors as well as $1 billion of total debt financing across multiple campus expansions. The equity raise was significantly oversubscribed, and welcomes some of the world’s largest institutional investors and sovereign wealth funds as new co-investors.
The growth capital will accelerate Digital Edge’s expansion to meet the increasing and nuanced cloud and AI demands of its customers across the region. Digital Edge was established in early 2020 and now owns and operates 21 data centers with over 500 MW of critical IT load in service and under construction and development, with another 300 MW held for future development, across strategic locations in Japan, Korea, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
This past October, Digital Edge opened its third data center in Korea, known as SEL2. The 36MW SEL2 facility is the first building in its 100MW Incheon campus in Seoul. This followed the expansion of Digital Edge’s Jakarta footprint with the opening of its 23MW EDGE2 facility earlier in the year. Looking forward, Digital Edge is set to open the first facility in its 300MW campus in Navi Mumbai in Q2 of 2025, as well as a hyperscale edge facility in downtown Tokyo known as TY07, its ninth data center facility in Japan.

MINSK, 17 September -2025 (BelTA) - Manufacturers are working on the latest materials and construction companies are actively applying modern technologies in their work, including in international projects, Belarusian First Deputy Architecture and Construction Minister Vladimir Naumovich told the media on the sidelines of at the international architectural and construction exhibition BUDEXPO in Minsk, BelTA has learned.
When discussing the innovations presented at BUDEXPO, Vladimir Naumovich noted that these are developments by the enterprises affiliated with the appropriate ministry, the construction sector, industrial enterprises, and engineering organizations. “Companies are working to market new construction products: from ceramic tiles to cement industry products, new inert materials, and new technologies for digitalization and electronic development in design,” Vladimir Naumovich said emphasizing that modern construction also utilizes artificial intelligence technologies.
According to the first deputy minister, the country’s construction sector is currently progressing at a strong pace. "Export pace remains in place. We have seen significant growth in the export of services, particularly in areas with high added value. In January-July 2025 the export approached $700 million,” he added.
When discussing international projects, Vladimir Naumovich highlighted cooperation with Russia. “Our construction organizations are implementing projects in Kaluga Oblast and Vladimir Oblast of Russia. These include social facilities such schools and kindergartens, infrastructure projects, and industrial construction,” he noted.

After more than 15 months of relentless Israeli air and ground assaults on Gaza, many of the tiny Palestinian enclave's 2 million residents are homeless and scrambling to obtain basic necessities. If last week's ceasefire holds, experts caution that rebuilding the devastated territory will take decades and cost tens of billions of dollars.
The three-phase ceasefire deal places the reconstruction of Gaza as the final phase, following a permanent end to the war. Dima Toukan, a nonresident scholar at the Middle East Institute, says it's important to acknowledge that this last phase could be a long way off — or never happen at all.
"The path forward beyond the first phase of the agreement is fraught with challenges and remains unclear," she says.
The United Nations estimates that $50 billion will be required to rebuild Gaza, which occupies an area about the size of Philadelphia on the Mediterranean coast between Israel and Egypt. Even the rosiest of estimates project it would take a decade. But other predictions are much more dire. A U.N. report issued in September estimates $18.5 billion worth of damage was done to Gaza's infrastructure from the war's start through the end of January 2024, and that once a ceasefire is reached, "a return to the 2007–2022 growth trend would imply that it would take Gaza 350 years just to restore GDP to its level in 2022."
Here are five questions about the enormous reconstruction challenges faced by Gaza.
Simply clearing debris will be a monumental task. Not only are there massive amounts of rubble to contend with, but it will have to be carefully handled for such things as unexploded ordnance, says Mark Jarzombek, an architectural history professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Jarzombek has studied how cities such as Dresden, Germany — which was gutted by Allied bombing in 1945 — were able to recover after World War II.
War-era buildings were mostly made of brick and wood, he says. "When those were bombed, they left big piles of that stuff," Jarzombek explains. As a result, postwar Dresden witnessed "brigades of women who would have wheelbarrows and go to the brick piles and then dump them in particular places."
Not so in Gaza, where buildings are made out of steel and concrete, he says. "In other words, you can't get just local civilians [to] … take the stuff apart. You need special equipment: You need bulldozers. You need cranes," Jarzombek says.
שיקום עזה יהיה פרויקט עצום. הנה 5 דברים שכדאי לדעת
לאחר יותר מ-15 חודשים של תקיפות אוויריות וקרקעיות ישראליות בלתי פוסקות על עזה, רבים מ-2 מיליון תושבי המובלעת הפלסטינית הקטנה חסרי בית ונאבקים להשיג צרכים בסיסיים. אם הפסקת האש של השבוע שעבר תימשך, מומחים מזהירים כי שיקום השטח ההרוס ייקח עשרות שנים ויעלה עשרות מיליארדי דולרים.
הסכם הפסקת האש בן שלושת השלבים מציב את שיקום עזה כשלב הסופי, לאחר סיום קבע של המלחמה. דימה טוקאן, חוקרת חוץ-תושבת במכון המזרח התיכון, אומרת שחשוב להכיר בכך שהשלב האחרון הזה יכול להיות רחוק - או שלא יקרה כלל.
"הדרך קדימה מעבר לשלב הראשון של ההסכם רצופה באתגרים ונשארת לא ברורה", היא אומרת.
האומות המאוחדות מעריכות כי יידרשו 50 מיליארד דולר לשיקום עזה, המשתרעת על שטח בגודל של פילדלפיה בחוף הים התיכון בין ישראל למצרים. אפילו ההערכות הוורודות ביותר צופות שזה ייקח עשור. אבל תחזיות אחרות קודרות הרבה יותר. דו"ח של האו"ם שפורסם בספטמבר מעריך כי נגרם נזק לתשתיות של עזה בשווי 18.5 מיליארד דולר מתחילת המלחמה ועד סוף ינואר 2024, וכי לאחר שתושג הפסקת אש, "חזרה למגמת הצמיחה של 2007–2022 מרמזת שייקח לעזה 350 שנה רק כדי להחזיר את התמ"ג לרמתו בשנת 2022".
להלן חמש שאלות בנוגע לאתגרי השיקום העצומים העומדים בפני עזה.
פינוי פסולת יהיה משימה אדירה. לא רק שיש כמויות אדירות של הריסות להתמודד איתן, אלא שיהיה צורך לטפל בהן בזהירות עבור דברים כמו תחמושת שלא התפוצצה, אומר מארק ג'רזומבק, פרופסור להיסטוריה של אדריכלות במכון הטכנולוגי של מסצ'וסטס.
ג'רזומבק חקר כיצד ערים כמו דרזדן, גרמניה - שנהרסה בהפצצות בעלות הברית בשנת 1945 - הצליחו להתאושש לאחר מלחמת העולם השנייה.
בניינים מתקופת המלחמה היו עשויים בעיקר מלבנים ועץ, הוא אומר. "כשהפציצו אותם, הם השאירו ערימות גדולות של הדברים האלה", מסביר יארזומבק. כתוצאה מכך, דרזדן שלאחר המלחמה הייתה עדה ל"גדודי נשים שהיו עם עגלות, הולכות לערימות הלבנים ואז זורקות אותן במקומות מסוימים".
לא כך בעזה, שם בניינים עשויים מפלדה ובטון, הוא אומר. "במילים אחרות, אי אפשר לגרום רק לאזרחים מקומיים... לפרק את הדברים. צריך ציוד מיוחד: צריך דחפורים. צריך מנופים", אומר יארזומבק.
Ukraine and the Czech Republic strengthen cooperation: intergovernmental agreement, investments, and "Industrial Ramstein"
Ukraine and the Czech Republic have agreed to accelerate the signing of an intergovernmental agreement (G2G) that will help implement Ukraine's reconstruction projects. This was reported by the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine, according to UNN.
Details- This was discussed during a meeting between the Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine, Oleksiy Sobolev, and a Czech delegation led by the Czech government's Commissioner for Ukraine's Reconstruction, Tomáš Kopečný, and the Deputy Minister of Finance of the Czech Republic, Marek Mora.
The parties also discussed expanding cooperation in the fields of industry, investment, energy, water resources management, and waste management.
It is noted that the G2G agreement between Ukraine and the Czech Republic is an important step towards deepening bilateral cooperation, which will contribute to the implementation of reconstruction projects. The Czech Republic has received 188 million euros in credit guarantees from the European Investment Fund (UIF) for the implementation of reconstruction projects in the private and public sectors, and intends to start their implementation in 2026.
To strengthen financing and insurance, it was proposed to increase the maximum risk coverage limit from the Czech Export Guarantee and Insurance Agency (EGAP) from the current 5 million euros. This will allow for the implementation of large-scale projects in key sectors.
The parties also agreed to develop a special program with EGAP, which will provide grants to Czech companies for the supply of industrial equipment and production components to Ukraine. The initiative is consistent with Ukraine's new industrial strategy, focused on the restoration and development of domestic production.
PRAGUE, June 4-2025 (Reuters) - The Czech state-controlled company EDU II and South Korea's KHNP signed final contracts to build two new nuclear power reactors on Wednesday, Prime Minister Petra Fiala said, after a court lifted an injunction barring the deal from closing.
A Czech high court gave the green light on Wednesday to the $18 billion transaction, the country's biggest procurement deal ever, and a key part of the state's drive to replace ageing coal and nuclear units.
"We have removed all doubts and legal obstacles that prevented the nuclear power plant project from being launched," Fiala told a broadcast news conference after the signing, which took place digitally between EDU II and KHNP representatives.Power firm CEZ (CEZP.PR), opens new tab picked KHNP last year to build two 1,000-megawatt units to expand its Dukovany nuclear plant, giving KHNP its first project in Europe.
The first unit is planned for completion by 2036.Losing bidder EDF of France had challenged the tender and won an injunction from a lower court last month, derailing the signing of the contract that was planned for May 7, with a ceremony prepared and a Korean delegation already en route to Prague.
PRAHA, 4. června 2025 (Reuters) - Česká státní společnost EDU II a jihokorejská společnost KHNP ve středu podepsaly konečné smlouvy na výstavbu dvou nových jaderných reaktorů, uvedl premiér Petra Fiala poté, co soud zrušil soudní zákaz uzavření transakce.
Český vrchní soud ve středu schválil transakci v hodnotě 18 miliard dolarů, která je největší zadávací smlouvou v historii země a klíčovou součástí snahy státu o nahrazení stárnoucích uhelných a jaderných bloků.
„Odstranili jsme všechny pochybnosti a právní překážky, které bránily zahájení projektu jaderné elektrárny,“ řekl Fiala na vysílané tiskové konferenci po podpisu smlouvy, která se konala digitálně mezi zástupci společností EDU II a KHNP.
Energetická společnost ČEZ (CEZP.PR) si loni vybrala KHNP pro výstavbu dvou bloků o výkonu 1 000 megawattů na rozšíření své jaderné elektrárny Dukovany, čímž se KHNP stala jejím prvním projektem v Evropě. Dokončení prvního bloku je plánováno do roku 2036. Neúspěšný uchazeč EDF z Francie napadl výběrové řízení a minulý měsíc získal soudní zákaz od nižšího soudu, čímž zmařil podpis smlouvy, který byl plánován na 7. května, přičemž byl připraven ceremoniál a korejská delegace již byla na cestě do Prahy.
The Eastern Mediterranean region stands at a critical juncture in its energy development. Positioned as a geopolitical crossroads with significant renewable energy resources and strategic importance, the region encompassing Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and Egypt has the potential to become a leader in sustainable energy while strengthening regional cooperation and economic integration.
روابط بحرية كبرى: تمويل التحول الطاقي في شرق المتوسط
تمر منطقة شرق المتوسط بمرحلة حرجة في تطوير الطاقة. بفضل موقعها الجغرافي الاستراتيجي، وثروتها من موارد الطاقة المتجددة، تتمتع المنطقة، التي تضم اليونان وقبرص وتركيا وسوريا ولبنان وإسرائيل وفلسطين والأردن ومصر، بإمكانية أن تصبح رائدة في مجال الطاقة المستدامة، مع تعزيز التعاون الإقليمي والتكامل الاقتصادي.
This study examines how the Eastern Mediterranean can secure a sustainable energy future through a two-pronged approach: strategically financing next-generation grid technologies that leapfrog legacy infrastructure challenges, while simultaneously developing integrated financing mechanisms that foster cross-border cooperation. This dual strategy aligns technological innovation with regional stability and market integration needs, creating a framework for sustainable development that transcends political boundaries.
The Eastern Mediterranean’s abundant renewable energy potential, particularly in solar and wind resources, presents a transformative opportunity. The region could generate approximately 144 percent of its projected 2050 electricity demand through renewable energy sources.1 Yet despite this potential, significant challenges persist. Aging and fragmented grid infrastructure, geopolitical tensions, and uneven regulatory frameworks hinder energy integration.
Additionally, ongoing political conflicts, geopolitical tensions, and maritime boundary threats in the region complicate the development of cross-border infrastructure, while the region remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels at a time when global climate commitments push for rapid energy transition.2
Meeting these challenges requires more than traditional approaches. This paper argues that innovative financing mechanisms can serve dual purposes: funding advanced infrastructure development while simultaneously functioning as instruments of regional cooperation. By strategically structuring financial tools that encourage cross-border collaboration, the Eastern Mediterranean can transform its energy landscape while creating economic interdependencies that help overcome historical political tensions.
The analysis unfolds in four parts. First, it examines the regional context—focusing on power demand trends, the state of grid infrastructure, and the region’s renewable energy potential. Second, it analyzes how COP28 commitments (made at the 2023 climate conference) intensify the need for rapid renewable integration and technological leapfrogging. Third, it evaluates the financing mechanisms available to fund this transition, from multilateral development banks and green bonds to Islamic finance and bilateral investment. Finally, it explores how these financing tools can support frameworks for regional collaboration, including physical infrastructure development, regulatory harmonization, energy diplomacy, and governance structures.
2025 - The Japanese government on Friday approved a plan to enhance the disaster resilience of the country's infrastructure over the next five years, with the project expected to cost more than 20 trillion yen ($139 billion).
Focusing on measures to address aging infrastructure, the plan specifies 326 measures to be taken by government bodies from fiscal 2026 through 2030, while regional authorities bear part of the costs.
The approval by the Cabinet comes in light of prolonged water outages following a powerful earthquake that devastated the Noto Peninsula on New Year's Day in 2024, and the formation of a massive sinkhole in Yashio in Saitama Prefecture, neighboring Tokyo, which is believed to have been caused by sewer pipe corrosion.
2025年 - 日本政府は金曜日、今後5年間でインフラの防災力を強化する計画を閣議決定した。この事業には20兆円（1390億ドル）以上の費用がかかる見込みだ。
老朽化対策に重点を置いたこの計画は、2026年度から2030年度にかけて政府機関が実施する326の対策を規定しており、地方自治体は費用の一部を負担する。
閣議決定は、2024年元旦に能登半島を襲った大地震による長期断水や、下水管の腐食が原因とみられる埼玉県八潮市の大規模な陥没穴の発生を踏まえて行われた。
The contents of the plan will be reflected in the government's budget request for fiscal 2026, the first year of its expected enactment.
According to the plan, 10.6 trillion yen will be allocated for the maintenance of vital services, which include aging infrastructure, such as transportation, communication, and energy.
All sewer pipes with corrosion or damage that could lead to accidents will be repaired by fiscal 2030.
The repair rate of the approximately 92,000 bridges managed by the central and local governments that require urgent attention will be raised from 55 percent in fiscal 2023 to 80 percent in fiscal 2030, with the aim of full completion in fiscal 2051.
Meanwhile, 5.8 trillion yen will be used for disaster prevention infrastructure, including erosion control dams to prevent landslides and river embankments amid increasingly severe flooding caused by climate change.
An additional 1.8 trillion yen goes to enhancing disaster preparedness through measures including installing air conditioners at schools that serve as evacuation centers.
"We will effectively combine hard and soft measures and steadily advance our initiatives," said Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba ahead of the Cabinet meeting. "We will complete arranging evacuation center environments as soon as possible."
The plan is a successor to one currently in effect from fiscal 2021 to 2025 and has been enshrined by law. Costs for the current project are approximately 15 trillion yen.
MANILA — Japan is continuing its support for the Philippine government’s infrastructure development agenda, guaranteeing financing assistance for big-ticket bridge, spillway and maritime projects.
In a statement Friday, the Department of Finance (DOF) said the Philippine economic and infrastructure team, led by Finance Secretary Ralph Recto, met with the Japanese government in Osaka, Japan on Sept. 11 to discuss the progress of key projects supported by Japan.
Japan was represented by Dr. Mori Masafumi, special advisor to the prime minister of Japan, as well as officials of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, cabinet secretariat, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Japan International Cooperation Agency and Japan Bank for International Cooperation.
Perenco’s $2B Cap Lopez LNG Project Signals Gas-Led Growth in Central Africa
2025- Positioning natural gas at the center of its growth strategy, independent oil and gas company Perenco is driving one of Central Africa’s most ambitious energy developments through the Cap Lopez LNG terminal in Gabon – a flagship project set to come online in 2026. Situated at the existing Cap Lopez oil terminal, the $2 billion initiative will introduce a floating LNG (FLNG) vessel designed to monetize the country’s offshore gas reserves and reduce gas flaring. Following completion, the project is expected to serve as a catalyst for energy diversification and broader economic growth in the country.
Marking Gabon’s first large-scale gas development following a final investment decision in 2024, the project signals a major step forward for regional energy security and industrialization. Currently under construction in Dubai, the FLNG unit will boast a production capacity of 700,000 tons of LNG and 25,000 tons of LPG annually, supported by storage infrastructure capable of holding 137,000 cubic meters. In support of this venture, engineering and construction company Technomak recently signed an agreement with Dixstone – a Perenco affiliate – for the integration of the offshore FLNG barge. Perenco is a Gold Partner at this year’s African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies in Cape Town.
The project forms part of a broader energy strategy being implemented by Perenco in Africa. In the Republic of Congo, the company continues to expand its upstream footprint with the commissioning of the Kombi 2 platform on the Kombi-Likalala-Libondo II permit. Currently under construction by Dixstone at the Nieuwdorp shipyard in the Netherlands, the platform is scheduled to depart in October and enter into operation offshore Pointe-Noire by early next year. With an estimated investment exceeding $200 million – and forming part of broader developments nearing $900 million – the project includes new drilling phases, infrastructure upgrades and the optimization of existing wells. The Kombi 2 platform will feature an integrated wellbay module to accommodate new wells, aiming to unlock an additional 10 million barrels of oil equivalent, with targeted output gains of 4 million cubic feet per day. Power generation for the platform will be supported by dual gas turbined linked to a 33-kV electrical hub, reinforcing Perenco’s commitment to operational efficiency and sustainable resource development in Congo.
On the exploration front, Perenco continues to cement its role as a premier independent in Africa’s energy landscape through a robust portfolio of upstream and gas infrastructure developments across the continent. In early 2024 an appraisal well in Gabon spudded near the Hylia South West discovery revealed substantial oil-bearing columns in the Ntchengue Ocean reservoir and reinforcing the potential of the lower Madiela carbonate formation. In Cameroon, the company launched its inaugural gas-to-industry project in July 2024, supplying 3.5-6.5 million cubic feet per day of natural gas from the Sanaga South field to the Keda tile factory via a 6-km pipeline – a milestone following its 9.9% equity acquisition in offshore operatory Golar LNG a month earlier.
These initiatives underscore Perenco’s integrated energy strategy, with the company’s participation as a Gold Partner at AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025 set to showcase their strategic role in shaping Africa’s energy future through large-scale gas monetization, infrastructure expansion and frontier exploration. Taking place in Cape Town from September 29 to October 3, 2025, the event promises to shine a light on these transformative projects and drive high-level dialogue on investment, innovation and sustainable development in Africa’s oil and gas sector.
Egypt’s FY25-26 budget aims to boost country’s housing and infrastructure
Infrastructure, energy, housing, and urban development are crucial components of the government's national plan for the period.
In March 2025, the Egyptian government announced the fiscal year 2025-26 budget (FY25-26), which will be in effect from July 2025 to June 2026. Total government expenditure for FY25-26 is estimated at E£4.6trn ($91.3bn), representing an 18% increase compared to the expenditure allocated for FY24-25. Revenue is projected at E£3.1trn, a 19% increase compared to the 2024-25 budget. The government has also set a primary surplus goal of E£795bn, which represents 4% of gross domestic product (GDP). This is an improvement over the FY24-25 target of 3.5%. This goal closely aligns with International Monetary Fund benchmarks and signals a commitment towards fiscal sustainability.
Additionally, public debt is projected to decrease significantly, dropping to 82.9% of GDP in FY25-26 from an estimated 92% in FY24-25, reflecting a dedicated approach towards effectively managing debt. Overall, the FY25-26 budget prioritises transformative investments in the electricity and renewable energy sectors, urban development, and essential water and sanitation services to enhance the nation’s infrastructure and improve the quality of life for its citizens.
In the FY25-26 budget, the government announced several allocations for different sectors, with areas focused on energy, social infrastructure, water infrastructure, health, and other basic infrastructure developments, some of which include –
– E£732.6bn for social protection.
– E£100bn for the electricity and renewable energy sector.
– E£78bn to support the industrial and export sectors.
– E£77bn for the water and wastewater sector.
– E£75bn to support the petroleum sector.
– E£8.3bn for the tourism sector.
– E£5.bn for the railways sector.
– E£5bn to enhance high-priority industries by expanding production capacity in machinery and equipment.
– E£3.5bn to support natural gas connections to homes.
– E£2.5bn in the new budget to support passenger transport in Cairo and Alexandria.
Infrastructure, energy, housing, and urban development are crucial components of the government’s national plan for FY25-26, providing substantial support for the construction sector. In line with this, the government intends to build 310,000 housing units during FY25-26. This includes 285,000 units designated for social housing, 11,500 for middle-income groups, and 13,500 under the ‘Housing for All Egyptians’ programme. Additionally, more than 20 new urban communities are being developed to accommodate population growth and alleviate pressure on major cities.
In the infrastructure and utilities sector, an allocation of E£77bn has been made for water and sanitation in FY25-26.
This includes E£27.8bn designated for drinking water and E£49.2bn for sanitation. The government also plans to complete the following projects: 56 water stations with a total capacity of one million cubic metres (mcm) per day, 135 sanitation projects, 33 treatment plants with a capacity of 802,000cm per day, and 17 desalination plants with a capacity of 455,000cm per day. Notable projects such as the Bahr Bagar wastewater treatment plant, which has a capacity of 5mcm per day, and the Kitchener Drain rehabilitation are also scheduled for completion in FY25-26.
The government aims to generate 235 billion kilowatt hours of electricity by the end of FY25-26, which is an increase from 223 billion kilowatt hours in 2023-24. Additionally, it plans to reduce energy losses to 13%, down from 19.4% in 2023-24, and increase the share of renewable energy in the mix to 16%, up from 11.5% in 2023-24. To achieve these goals, the government intends to complete several major energy construction projects in FY25-26. These projects include the Mallawi and Matariya transformer stations and electrical infrastructure for the Monorail and LRT systems. Furthermore, a 20MW solar plant in Hurghada and land development for six additional renewable energy projects are being planned. Collectively, these initiatives will promote a robust and active role for the construction industry in both the short- and long-term national development objectives.
The latest budget is expected to boost the construction sector, with leading data and analytics company GlobalData anticipating a 6.5% growth in the Egyptian construction industry in real terms by the end of the forecast period. Furthermore, the industry is projected to maintain an average annual growth rate of 8% between 2026 and 2029. Indeed, this growth will be supported by investments in commercial, renewable energy, and transport infrastructure projects, along with the government’s goal of developing 10GW of renewable energy projects by 2028 under the Nexus of Water, Food, and Energy Program. In November 2024, the government signed an agreement with Dubai-based energy investor, Alcazar Energy Partners, to develop 2GW of wind power projects in Egypt, aligning with the country’s energy targets.
Additionally, in December 2024, Emirati investment company, Kazar, announced plans to invest $2.5bn to construct 2GW of solar energy and 1.1GW of wind energy projects in the Zafarana region, with construction expected to start in 2026. Support for growth during this period will also stem from the government’s plans to develop 32 hydrogen plants, with a combined investment of E£5.4trn by 2030. In December 2024, SCZone announced that it had finalised 12 agreements to produce a total of 18 million tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030. Another project is also in the planning stages, with an investment of $7.5bn and a projected output of 1.3 million tons per year. Additionally, the government aims to construct 672,000 housing units by 2030, with an investment of $13.4bn, addressing housing shortages resulting from rapid population growth and aiming to eliminate slums in the country by 2030.
