China fast-tracking public infrastructure pipeline

Government is approving projects at a noticeably brisker pace to re-ignite economy.

BBVA noted that China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is speeding up the approval process of a number of investment projects, with the recent approval of 25 subway projects in various cities and another 20 infrastructure projects, including over 2,000 km of highway projects and several other container port and waterway projects.

"These efforts are putting the NDRC back in the spotlight, after the economic planning agency authorized several large steel mill expansion projects worth over RMB 100 bn in a single day on May 25th. These moves are signs of the latest efforts by the government to provide fiscal support to the slowing economy," said BBVA.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
