Our global infrastructure solutions
Over the past two decades, institutional and private investment in public infrastructure has steadily increased. The long term and diversified nature of infrastructure projects, and the strong return profile, has seen the asset class gain interest from the fund management and pension fund industry.
However, data transparency remains a key obstacle to growth in private sector funding. The world currently faces a $15 trillion infrastructure investment gap by 2040. To activate private investment the sector needs standardized, trusted and transparent data to assess performance, returns and risk.
Refinitiv has the most comprehensive set of news, data, insights and analytics available on global infrastructure developments from rumor to close, including deal structuring, financing, risk profiling, regulatory compliance and lender, investor and advisor profiles.

Refinitiv Commodities Insights
In today's world, commodities markets and the infrastructure landscape are increasingly inter-connected. Movements in raw materials affect the pace and cost of infrastructure projects, and vice versa. As an example, vast amounts of metals and minerals are needed to build wind farms and transmit power. Any increase in commodity prices will lead to higher construction costs for infrastructure facilities. In project planning and financing, it is therefore critical to consider factors affecting commodity supply, flows, and costs. To anticipate opportunities and challenges in infrastructure, investors need to monitor commodities movements. Refinitiv has the most comprehensive set of unique data, analytics, expert insights, and exclusive market-moving news across global commodities markets.
