Locations
Australia
Australia is a high-income, developed country with a diversified economy and substantial public and private investment in infrastructure, research and services. The government continues to expand major public infrastructure pipelines for transport, housing and energy systems to support productivity and resilience, and its national infrastructure advisory body provides independent guidance to improve efficiency and outcomes. Australia also plays a significant role in international development: through its official development assistance (ODA) program it aims to strengthen economic resilience, climate action and social inclusion across the Indo-Pacific, with record ODA budgets and targeted regional partnerships.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh has undertaken extensive infrastructure expansion - including bridges, metro systems, ports and power plants - to sustain rapid industrial and export-led growth. Improved logistics and electricity access have strengthened manufacturing competitiveness, particularly in garments. Large-scale public investment and external financing have underpinned this transformation. Strengthening financial governance, climate resilience and urban infrastructure management will be critical for continued progress.
