China's Infrastructure Investment Driving Urbanization and Economic Growth
Infrastructure investment in China drives economic growth by meeting the demands of urbanization. This investment reduces costs and boosts productivity. It also helps cities grow by bringing businesses together, which further increases productivity. Recent reforms have made funding more efficient, but there is still room for improvement. While there is no evidence of too much investment overall, the returns on new infrastructure projects are decreasing. Policy makers need to focus on investing in projects that will give the best economic returns.
