It is essential for each nation to invest, improve and retrofit its infrastructure. However, with the diverse participation of all economic sectors, each country has its own method of calling and attracting funds for infrastructure development.Vietnam is in a strong urbanization context, so the development of infrastructure and capital investment in infrastructure development is a very important issue. According to the current development trend, the demand for investment capital for infrastructure has exceeded the state budget's ability. At the same time, traditional solutions in order to increase public investment resources are now hampered by the fact that the Vietnamese budget can not expand for infrastructure investments. Therefore, the infrastructure investments in the coming period must be based mainly on the experience of developed countries.Studying the practical experience of mobilizing capital to develop infrastructure in ThaiLand, Malaysia, Singapore, Chile, China and India shows that developed countries have effective solutions to mobilize resources to invest to infrastructure development, creating a development motivation for socio-economic. This article explores the experience of raising capital for investment in infrastructure development in some countries who have many similarities in socio-economic situation with Vietnam, thereby we can learn a lot of good experience for Vietnam

The important problem of regional development is the strengthening of interregional disparities due to the concentration of financial capital in some of the most economically developed and investment-attractive regions and its outflow from economically weaker regions. The purpose of the article is to analyze the spatial distribution of the processes of credit activity and capital investment in conditions of financial and economic turbulence, to assess their impact on the economic growth of the regions of Ukraine. The following methods were used for the study: abstract-logical, comparative analysis, graphical visualization, statistical. The article identifies trends and problems of spatial distribution of credit activity, capital investment and highlights the features of credit and investment development of regions in crisis conditions; the influence of credit and investment factors on the economic growth of the regions is estimated. It has been found that in Ukraine a high concentration of capital investment in highly developed regions does not always guarantee them high investment productivity. Regional development under the COVID-19 quarantine restrictions was often influenced by behavioral factors and a number of irrational decisions by economic entities. During 2020, the share of public capital investments increased, but these investments were often financed by international funds. However, unlike most developed countries, the main objects of investment were not the health care system (including its increased capacity to fight the pandemic) or the digitalisation of public services, but the objects of hard infrastructure. The article identifies the risks of economic growth of regions, in particular: the risk of delayed effect of economic growth in the short term, the risk of deepening imbalances in economic development of Ukraine, the risk of low productivity of public investment, the risk of increasing irrationality of consumer behavior in the short term.

Public investment is the State’s investment activity to serve the society needs and community benefits. The public investment research has been carried out in terms of the economic sectors, in which public investment funds have effect. By using the statistical method and Hlv(GO), this study evaluated the economic efficiency of investment capital for each economic sector and the economy as a whole. The study found that public investment in Vung Liem district from 2012 to 2016 mainly focused on infrastructure construction, followed by agriculture, but the investment efficiency was not inadequate. On the contrary, the industries - small handicrafts, trades and services have not been properly invested but the investment efficiency was quite high and relatively stable. This is due to the lack of focus on investment resources the, investment process spreading and scattering, not found breakthrough in each sector. This shows that public investment in Vung Liem is effective, but there are many limitations to overcome. Research results are useful references for defining breakthroughs and practical solutions to improve the district’s public investment efficiency

China’s growing presence across African continent and with reference to Nigeria has variously attracted debates and mixed feeling amongst scholars and policy makers. Severally considered and described initially as ideological and political, cultural and adventurous, etc., but the phenomenal expansion of the engagement and relationship into trade and investment across economic sectors particularly infrastructure development, has many things to desire. While the public debate accentuates the imperativeness of Chinese infrastructure financing schemes and its roles in economic growth and development in Nigeria, yet vital questions on China-Nigeria economic engagement subsist. This study investigated and examined specifically the nature of the driving factors and the impacts of the economic engagement with particular interest in infrastructures investment and development. Using a non-probabilistic and qualitative research design method on secondary data sources, the study discovered that China-Nigeria economic engagement is propelled by economic, institutional, political and perception drivers with divers mixed impacts; and conclusively described the engagement as goodly-bad or sweet but bitter. This study contributes to the asymmetric view of China-Nigeria relationship by positing a balanced position from infrastructure investment perspective. The study therefore recommended that government policy makers ensure that Chinese investments alone in Nigeria’s national infrastructures development do not and should not substitute constitutional government responsibilities, that institutional frameworks must encourage momentous indigenous private investment capital inflow into infrastructure sector, going forward, China-Nigeria engagement policies must promote purposeful, environmental, human capital, and people-centered sustainable development goals in Nigeria amongst others.

This paper aims to explore the emergence of ‘Green Banking’ in Bangladesh, with a focus on the role of financial regulation and regulators in greening the financial sector. It also examines the contribution and involvement of banks and non-bank financial institutions in promoting green economic transition. The study is based on the review of secondary data collected from various sources, such as quarterly reports, annual reports, websites of the central bank of Bangladesh, and other commercial banks and non-bank financial institutions as well as various articles, and newspapers reports on green banking in Bangladesh. The collected data is reviewed using descriptive statistics. The research results reveal that the central bank of Bangladesh played a major role in greening the financial system of the country by implementing various green policies and regulatory measures. Although Bangladesh is still far behind the developed countries in terms of environmental performance, the country has made a remarkable progress in initiating and expanding green banking practices, infrastructure development, and accelerating green growth in recent years.

The paper investigated the social and financial resources’ interface in WASH programmes for vulnerable communities. Nineteen villages were randomly selected from the Jariban district in Somalia using the random number generator based on the village list. Data was collected in a sequential methodology that started with transect walks to observe and record the WASH infrastructure. Thirty-eight focus group discussions and desktop reviews triangulated transact walk recordings. The findings indicate minimum to zero investments towards WASH infrastructure in Jariban from the state government, with more dependency on the donor community. The study revealed that resources for the construction of latrines and water sources come from the following sources, NGOs (54.3%), diaspora community (34.5%) and community contributions (11.2%). The findings revealed a backlog in the WASH infrastructure, resulting in low access to water supply and sanitation services. The results demonstrate limited resource allocation by both the government and community, affecting the WASH infrastructure’s sustainability and further development. Due to the backlog in investments, particularly on improved latrines, it is concluded that their usage is low and a hindrance to having access to sanitation, hygiene and water as per the SDG goals, of leaving no one behind. While investment towards WASH in Jariban demonstrates multiple potential sources, there is a need to strengthen domestic resource mobilisation and explore governments’ role and capacity to secure WASH infrastructure investments. It is also recommended to explore how to tax the remittances to fund WASH infrastructure development and the private sector’s role in WASH infrastructure investment.

Energy sector development is required to enable greater regional economic integration (harmonization of legal and regulatory frameworks for energy, coordination of energy infrastructure investments, etc.) in Africa. This can address problems associated with fractured energy infrastructure investment and allowing African nations to develop more shared facilities. In addition, regional integration facilitates trade of energy resources and services via sub-regional power pools. Despite the current attempts to integrate regional infrastructure via power pools, actual trade within these pools is low, and the opportunity to derive efficiencies from integrated regional resource planning is missed in favour of national plans. Different stages and design of energy market liberalization or (re-) regulation and the desire for energy self-sufficiency (“security of supply”) hinder the development of bilateral or multilateral projects. Investment in interconnection capacity is required to facilitate intra-power pool trade and achieve the efficiencies associated with the pooling of demand and integrated energy planning.

In the times of economic instability in most developed countries, a decrease is experienced in the effectiveness of many large public corporations. Such corporations are facing high expenditures (transaction costs mostly) and extremely low return on invested capital. Medium-sized businesses, on the contrary, prove to be more efficient: they show an acceptable level of profitability and total cost savings. The purpose of the present study is to calculate and analyse transaction costs of medium and large corporations and identify an impact of these costs on the performance of companies. Within the the framework of a neoinstitutional approach a complex of institutional factors influencing a company’s development is being explored. The efficiency of institutional forms is determined through studying such factors as transaction costs. In line with this theory, the transaction cost level of corporations is estimated, which enables one to make their comparative analysis in economic sectors. The analysis has revealed that the relative level of transaction costs with large corporations is two times higher than that in the event of middle ones. A comparative analysis of return on sales in two groups of companies has pointed to a fact that after 2010 the margin of middle-sized companies exceeded the profitability of large companies. The relationship between the level of transaction costs and return on sales in two groups of companies is being quantified as well. We have proved that middle-sized corporations have shown a direct relationship. On the contrary, transaction costs negatively affect profitability in large corporations.


The catering sector plays a prominent and important role in the economy of developed countries, the formation of employment, the development of small and medium-sized businesses, and the development of related industries. In this regard, an inefficient infrastructure ensuring the development of the catering system generates a number of risks associated with an insufficient level of demand supply and, ultimately, the loss of competitive positions of countries and regions at the international “platform” of the tourist industry. The current trends and catering sector development parameters in RF regions are characterized by the decrease of the tourism sector share in the turnover generation of provided goods and services, and the level of the catering infrastructure development that does not correspond to the trends of the dynamically developing tourist market, and European development parameters, weak investment activity, etc. These factors determine the need to develop the strategic models of the catering system development in RF regions, adapted to the current and future trends of the tourist industry development, as well as taking into account the changing macroeconomic trends of the national economy, which are formed under the influence of conjuncture internal and external factors and affecting the population consumer activity in the catering industry.
