Due to the large cost nature of Infrastructure development, bonds are often issued to support them. Often the only way for investors to get exposure to these ventures is through bonds.

David Crowe from The Australian reported that the “Federal government will overhaul its peak infrastructure agency to lure more private investment into new construction under ambitious plans that include the use of commonwealth debt to fund major projects.

The government is drafting laws to support a nationwide building program that could see new types of “infrastructure bonds” issued to end a finance shortage that is holding back work. The proposals reshape the national debate on government debt as economists urge political leaders to use bonds to fund projects that not only generate a return on investment but also add to economic growth.”
