While the COVID-19 crisis may have temporarily put almost everything on hold, the UK government has nonetheless recently reaffirmed its commitment to its infrastructure plans. Two factors play strongly in favour of pushing ahead with these quickly. The first is that borrowing costs are at an all-time low and the second is that infrastructure investment is a proven way of generating economic growth, which makes infrastructure a key component of the government's strategy to restart the economy and emerge from the inevitable recession as quickly as possible.
The 2020 Summit, which is being held on 13-14 July, will provide a perfect opportunity for an in-depth analysis of the government infrastructure plans for the coming years and their implications for both the public and private sectors, as well as reviewing other relevant developments.
The 2020 Summit comprises two days:
Keynote addresses at the summit include:
Update on the Government’s Infrastructure Policy
The Rt Hon Jesse Norman MP, Financial Secretary to the Treasury
Reforming project delivery to support the National Infrastructure Strategy
Nick Smallwood, Chief Executive Officer, Infrastructure and Projects Authority
