Looking forward, the regional spending and investment needs during 2016-2040 are shown in
Chart 2.12. While the two largest economies dominate in infrastructure investments, all
regions of the world are expected to have deficits in infrastructure investments leading to
2040. The 13 OIC member countries representing the largest economies are expected to spend
USD 5.6 trillion in infrastructure during the period against the investment needs of USD 7.2
trillion. This will leave a deficit of USD 1.6 trillion in infrastructure investments during this
period for the group.
