Catalyzing Progress: Leveraging the Benefits of Major Transport Investments
High-profile port and transport projects require significant investment, often dependent on public funding. A critical challenge in public investment is to ensure that limited public funds are allocated wisely to projects that deliver the greatest social benefit.
This challenge finds its solution in the strategic field of economic analysis, commonly known as cost-benefit analysis (CBA). Acting as a compass for decision-makers, CBA goes beyond a simple assessment of financial viability to provide a comprehensive economic evaluation of a project's societal benefits and costs. It becomes the lens through which we measure the true impact of port and transport initiatives.
Economic analysis carefully evaluates factors such as time savings, transport cost efficiencies, emissions reductions, environmental benefits and improved connectivity. It's a societal litmus test that determines whether a project, regardless of its financial viability from a private investor's perspective, is beneficial from a societal perspective.
