Southeast Asia Regional Programme Sixth Steering Group Meeting Thematic Webinar Part I
In all Southeast Asian countries, infrastructure development is considered as key to the economic recovery post-Covid-19, not only as a tool to increase public spending to boost growth, but as channel through which the post-recovery economy and society could be made more resilient to similar, and different, shocks.
This webinar will address the ongoing policy discussion on the policy discussion surrounding infrastructure planning and development in the ASEAN context, including on changes in priority setting following the crisis, how Covid-19 has impacted or likely to impact into the future on the financing of infrastructure, as well as impact on climate change consideration. An example of how an OECD Member addressed these issues will follow.
