Article summary

The Global Infrastructure Investor Association (GIIA) has published the results of its 2021 global infrastructure index in collaboration with Ipsos MORI. The index compiles results from a survey carried out in 28 countries which looks at public attitudes towards infrastructure and investment. The survey results show that almost double of citizens surveyed believe considering impacts on the environment (51%) should be more of a priority than economic impacts (26%) when considering infrastructure improvements in their country. The environment was ranked as the most important of seven factors when planning for the future, chosen by 26%. Ownership and disruption ranked lowest, selected by just 9% and 7% respectively.
