The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) data for infrastructure spending in ports in 38 countries excludes mainland China, one of the biggest spenders. Notably, through its Belt and Road Initiative, mainland China invests in Africa and Europe, but the region has also announced programs for its own infrastructure in 2020 to counter the pandemic fallout. "Nearly all of mainland China's 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions have announced key infrastructure investment plans for the next five to seven years, covering 24,515 projects at ¥43 trillion ($6 trillion), of which around 25% will be spent on transportation projects," according to Moody's Investor Service. "Future investment for the port sector will focus mainly on connectivity between the ports and surrounding railways and highways, smart ports that leverage disruptive technology and automation, and strategic regional integration and industry consolidation." |
