South Asia ready for Infrastructure Investment - MTI

 

MTI Consulting, at the World Infrastructure Investment Conference in Doha recently, has shared its findings from a recent study on the attractiveness of the Asian Markets, with particular emphasis on the Indian Sub-Continent. The report identified the region as a destination for potential Gulf Investment Dollars, which has pre-dominantly been targeted at the home markets so far, according to an MTI press release.

Hilmy Cader, the CEO of Bahrain based MTI Consulting, in a keynote address urged Gulf investors to look beyond the Gulf to Asia - on the premise that most Gulf States have reached maturity levels on infrastructure and that emerging nations, even after factoring in the risk element, represents an attractive opportunity for these Petro-Dollars.

The release said MTI, based on their research, had identified four key sectors for infrastructure investments -- Power and Utilities, Healthcare, Ports and Mining.
