Cost-Benefit Analysis

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 is explored through the strategic realm of economic analysis, specifically cost-benefit analysis (CBA). Serving as a decision-making compass, CBA extends beyond mere financial assessments to deliver a thorough evaluation of a project's societal benefits and costs, offering a clear perspective on the true impact of port and transport initiatives.

Economic analysis 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.
