Infrastructure

Infrastructure spending—whether for roads and bridges, for airports, or for tunnels and subways (particularly in China)—is driven by the public sector and will, by its nature, be cyclical. Interest rates are a significant determining factor in the adoption of both new projects and maintenance/repair work. When interest rates are relatively low and stable, the prospects for infrastructure spending rise within the US.
