ICT
Airport development
Rail development

Port development from both sovereign or private finance stand point.

4. Positioning ports in the supply chain to facilitate modal shift.
The Bank is involved:

Port side infrastructure
Land side infrastructure
Facilitation (e.g. OSBP, IT, regulation, agreements…)
Road (corridor)
Rail (corridor)
Waterways (engaging)

5. Port growth estimates: Economic assumptions of our research - TEU forecast shows an increase of annual throughput from 22 million TEU (2013 est.) to 140 million TEU in 2050 on the continent.

6. Investment estimates: The forecasted investment in the necessary container port infrastructure, superstructure and equipment is based on: - First wave: 40 million TEU per annum an additional capacity on stream in 2025: 40 Billion USD - Second wave: additional 80 million TEU per annum on stream in 2050: Billion USD Additional cargo segments, such as dry bulk and oil products, the estimates could increase to approximately times the above numbers.
