The World Bank and University Mohammed VI Polytechnic (UM6P) are partnering for the fourth annual #Infra4Dev Conference, held on the 9th and 10th of May 2024 in Rabat, Morocco. In the context of pressing development challenges, including climate change, multiple conflicts, and disappointing progress towards sustainable development goals, policymakers around the world are grappling with the need for more resources to steer the global economy onto a more sustainable long-term development path. This is felt very acutely in infrastructure sectors, including digital infrastructure, transport networks, and energy systems. Mobilizing resources to deliver infrastructure investments involves solving two related issues. First is how they are financed, with various instruments covering budgetary expenditures, bond markets, bank loans, equity issuance, guarantees, etc., and involving both public and private players. Second, who eventually repays the cost of delivering the services, i.e., the funding, which involves combining users’ fees and taxpayers’ money?
