2 Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitor

KPMG is delighted to introduce the GlobalInfrastructure: Trend Monitor. This firstedition focuses on developments in the European transport infrastructure market. The report is intended to provide abasis for a more informed debate on therelative attractiveness of different marketsacross the region.

Existing publications tend to focus either on the short term, identifyingopportunities that are about to come tothe market, or the long term, estimatingthe size of the required investment over decades to come. The GlobalInfrastructure: Trend Monitor ispositioned between the two and itpresents a medium-term view of the market.

We believe that the baseline forecasts offuture transport infrastructure marketspresent a step change in the informationavailable. Our estimates are directlycomparable across the 30 countriescovered. They build on reliable datasources and a small number ofassumptions that are fully explicit.

The Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitoralso uses KPMG member firms’experience in each of the markets toconsider the baseline forecasts in context.

Transport infrastructure markets willcontinue to develop and KPMG’s GlobalInfrastructure: Trend Monitor will evolvewith them. We will revisit our forecastsand our forecasting method in the future as well as explore other sectorsand geographies.

Key insights: reflections on baseline forecasts

Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitor1

presents the results of econometric modelingand discusses them in a wider context. The first edition of the trend monitor focuseson the medium-term view of transportinfrastructure investment2 in 30 Europeancountries. The fundamental aim of the reportis to be an enabler of a more informeddebate on the medium-term opportunitiesacross the continent.

Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitor 3

1 KPMG’s Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitor has been produced in collaboration with Dr Stephen Gruneberg.2 By transport infrastructure we mean buildings and structures used in roads, rail, ports and airports.

And by investment we mean spending on new build as well as repairs and maintenance.

Page 4: Global Infrastructure Trend Monitor - European Transport Outlook 2008-2012

Comparing transport infrastructure markets across countries is not straightforward.The data to do so does not exist. It must be produced by econometric modeling.Our method is explained in the last section of this report. The underlying dataset weused was produced by Eurostat.3 We believe it to be the most reliable and uniformof the datasets currently available.4 The cleaned historical data and detailed baselineforecasts are included as Appendix 1.

At first glance these results appear to beconforming to conventional wisdom. The value of the trend monitor to theplayers in the global infrastructuremarket will be in the foundation itprovides for comparing and debating the attractiveness of different transportmarkets in the medium-term. Webelieve that we have successfullyimproved the method for producingestimates of this nature. We have everyreason to expect that this will make ourforecasts more accurate. Nevertheless,they will always remain just that: estimates.

Local insights

We do not think that our forecasts alonecan determine the attractiveness of aparticular market. Our modeling relies onpast trends to predict the future and willalways fail to spot sudden shifts and/orshocks in the market. There are anumber of factors that could contributeto such changes.

These range from political stability to the existence of appropriate legal andregulatory frameworks. We have,therefore, employed our member firms’presence in each of the 30 markets to offer a brief assessment of theforecasts. This is illustrated in the ‘ALocal Touch’ section.

Overall we expect our estimates toprove conservative. The intelligence onthe ground suggests that somecountries supported by European Unionfunds plan to invest considerably morein transport infrastructure over the nextfive years than our model has predicted.

Star

Based solely on our modelwe estimate there is nomarket that is both large and forecast to have rapidmedium-term growth. Sucha market would classify as a Star.

However, when KPMGmember firms’ localintelligence is taken intoaccount along with ourmodeling Spain emergesas a Star market.

Tigers

Our model shows sixcountries are estimated togrow relatively fast from2008 to 2012. We havelabeled Bulgaria, Estonia,Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania andRomania as Tigers. Thesemarkets grow out of a basethat is very small incomparison to the Large and mature markets.

When our model iscombined with KPMGmember firms’ localintelligence, Ireland,Poland, Portugal andSlovakia emerge as Tiger markets.

Large and mature

Based solely on our model,there are five countries thatare large but are predicted togrow relatively slowly. Wehave classified France,Germany, Italy, Spain and theUK as Large and maturemarkets. These markets areforecast to represent 67percent of transportinfrastructure investmentbetween 2008 and 2012 inall the markets examined.

Small and mature

The remaining countries welooked at were named Smalland mature markets. Theyare both small and predictedto have slow growth rates inthe five years leading to2012.

The following chart highlights key insights from the combination of our modeling and local intelligence.

There are four key categories that emerge:

4 Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitor

3 Eurostat, (2007), Table NAMA P16 K, Gross Fixed Capital Investment by 6 asset types aggregates at constant 1995 prices and exchange rates inmillions of Euros, Brussels, European Commission

4 We chose not to analyse planned or declared expenditures. This was because we felt that they could not easily be made comparable acrosscountries and/or they could be influenced by the political processes.

Page 5: Global Infrastructure Trend Monitor - European Transport Outlook 2008-2012

We discuss the transport infrastructuremarkets in 30 European countries. In particular, the focus is on evolvinginvestment patterns over the five years from 2008 to 2012.

Estimated future size and forecastgrowth rates provide a baseline against which future opportunities can be discussed. We have a view of the prospects in the marketsthrough our member firms’ presence ineach country. This intelligence is vital inplacing the baseline forecasts inappropriate context.

The forecasts presented are based onhistorical Gross Fixed CapitalFormation (GFCF) data harmonized byEurostat. We felt that this was themost reliable and comparable datasetavailable. The results should,nevertheless, be read with caution asthis type of prediction is subject toconsiderable uncertainty. The past isnot always a reliable indicator of thefuture. We have aspired to betransparent both in the method wehave used and the assumptions wehave made. These are detailed on thelast pages of this report. The modelingresults are included as Appendix 1.

This edition of KPMG’s Global Infrastructure:Trend Monitor is the first in a new series ofreports looking at global infrastructuremarkets. The aim of the series is to facilitate amore sophisticated debate on the medium-termopportunities in the global marketplace.

The patterns that emerge from the econometric modeling areextremely informative. Figure 1 below shows the actual size ofmarkets in 2006. As there is a delay in the preparation of nationalaccounts data, these are the most up to date and reliable. All figuresin this report are in 2005 prices in order to facilitate comparisons.Rather than absolute size, it is the relative size of the markets that isof most interest in comparing countries.

France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK are Large and mature markets. Theyall had large 2006 expenditures, but are forecast to have low growth rates.

Bulgaria, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania and Romania are countries that have the highest forecast average growth rates but relatively lowexpenditures in 2006. These countries are classified as Tigers.

Notably, when considered in isolation, the modeling outputs indicate that there are no Stars with both high forecast growth rates and high actual expenditures.

The remaining countries are Small and mature markets. These have lowforecast growth and with low 2006 transport infrastructure investment.Experience suggests that as countries become more developed the growthin infrastructure investment tends to slow but the classification of some ofthese countries as mature may actually mean that they are yet to go througha major period of significant expansion in transport infrastructure. Greeceappears the most interesting in this group of countries – see Figure 4.

In this section we combine KPMG member firms’ local insight withour econometric modeling with the aim of providing a fuller picture ofinvestment in European transport infrastructure. In doing so we areable to reveal who we believe the top performers will be.

A local touch

10 Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitor

In introducing information on whatKPMG firms’ professionals see on theground we rely more on judgement andless on hard and measurable indicators.Ireland illustrates this point extremelywell. The country has had an expandingeconomy for the past decade but due toyears of underinvestment in toughereconomic times prior to that, itsinfrastructure had struggled to keeppace with the growing economy. Thishas gradually been turning around with astrong Government commitment toinfrastructure delivery. The NationalDevelopment Plan covering the periodfrom 2000 to 2006 included significantexpenditures on transport infrastructure.Ireland now has a National DevelopmentPlan from 2007 to 2013 in place. This plan includes expenditure ontransport that is in the tens of billions of euros. The program of transportexpenditure to 2016 has actually alreadybeen approved.

Our baseline forecast for Ireland is verydifferent from the above intelligence.This is because our model draws onhistoric long-term expenditure patternsin making predictions for the future. Thekey limitation of the model is indeedthat it is unable to anticipate the type ofchange in investment pattern that hasoccurred in Ireland. Our model,however, remains a useful foundationfrom which to have discussions. Itproduces information which facilitateslike-for-like comparisons acrosscountries. The second column in Table 1 opposite, for example, very

quickly provides a clear indication of therelative size of any two transportinfrastructure markets.

We have opted not to capture futureexpenditure plans for each country. This is because of the challenge ofmaking these numbers directlycomparable. They are expressed indifferent currencies at different timesand they often apply to different parts of the transport market. Some plansmay also be influenced by the politicalprocess and the commitment toimplementing them may vary. We haveinstead focused on assessing how thesituation in each country interplays withour baseline estimates and othercountries that are forecast to have similar prospects.

Table 1 captures what we believe arethe key considerations to make whendebating the state of play in differentmarkets in the light of our forecasts. Thesecond column in Table 1 contains theestimated spending (2008-2012) as aratio to the average spending for all 30countries. The average predictedexpenditure is €10,396 million. The thirdcolumn presents the same ratio forforecast growth. The average predictedgrowth is 3.27 percent per annum. The merit of the table is that it seeks to provide a quick assessment of therelative medium-term prospects in each market. The other columns are self-explanatory.

Page 11: Global Infrastructure Trend Monitor - European Transport Outlook 2008-2012

Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitor 11Table 1. KPMG's Key considerations for qualitative adjustment.

Germany 4.50 0.09 The budgeted 2008 transport investment (roads, rail and Nowaterways only) is an increase on the previous year. Medium-term growth is expected to be modest.

France 4.33 0.81 The focus of transport infrastructure investment will be on Noenhancing high speed rail, highway as well as canal networks.

United Kingdom 4.13 0.94 Transport investment is anticipated to increase in the run-up No to the London Olympics in 2012 with significant projectssuch as M25 and Thameslink in the pipeline.

Italy 3.68 0.62 A transport infrastructure investment budget for the period Nofrom 2008 to 2011 exists. It is in line with past investments. A set of priority projects have been identified, including a number of large road projects.

Spain 3.62 1.20 Ministry of Public Works and Transport has developed Yesa Strategic Plan for Infrastructures and Transport (PEIT) 2005-2020. The planned expenditures include a significant increase on past expenditures.

Netherlands 1.22 0.51 Strong political support for accelerating the transport No investment program exists. The investments are expected to focus primarily on roads, but rail is also anticipated to benefit.

Belgium 0.75 0.69 The focus will be on bringing other parts of the transport Nonetwork to a standard equal to the high-speed rail network.

Switzerland 0.73 0.37 Transport infrastructure investment will be dominated Noby the multibillion Euro New Railway Link through the Alps (NEAT) program.

Greece 0.63 1.36 The expenditure from transport infrastructure is No expected to shift towards other types of infrastructure in the post-Olympic era.

Sweden 0.62 0.81 The 2008 transport infrastructure budget is a reduction Noon the previous year’s. The Government is considering postponing some infrastructure investments due to inflationary pressures.

Austria 0.60 0.38 The Transport Master Plan envisages strategic investments Nointo transport infrastructure in the medium term. The Danube rail axis, including the Vienna-Bratislava route, is highlighted as being of particular importance.

Poland 0.60 0.82 The Ministry of Infrastructure (previously the Ministry of Transport) Yeshas four separate programs for roads (approved), railways, airports and ports looking forward for around five years. The anticipated incrase in expenditure is very significant.

Turkey 0.59 0.60 The emerging market is hungry for transport infrastructure No investments. Expenditure on rail projects and a programof road projects are expected in the medium term.

Ireland 0.58 1.39 An approved program of transport expenditure Yesup to 2016 worth tens of billions of Euros is in place.

Denmark 0.55 0.89 The 2008 transport infrastructure budgets for road No and rail both increase on the previous year’s. This trend in anticipated to continue in the medium term.

Norway 0.54 0.75 The transport investment is anticipated to increase. No Projects in the pipeline include light rail in Bergen, high-speed rail in the southern parts of the country and the Rogfast road tunnel.

Portugal 0.41 0.43 Significant increase in expenditure is anticipated. YesThe high-speed rail projects will be at a very advanced stage in 2012 and almost all of the road projects tendered at the moment will have been built.

Finland 0.39 0.94 The Government has shifted into committed No transport investment programs that cover a parliamentary cycle. The current expenditure plans to 2011 are an increase on past expenditures.

Romania 0.32 2.17 Transport infrastructure investment should grow Noin the 2008-12 period given the country’s needs and the availability of EU funds.

What KPMG member firms see on theground suggests that our estimatesincluded as Appendix 1 are conservativefor most countries. In other words,actual expenditures are anticipated to behigher than we have predicted. Themost likely explanation for this is thatthe assumption that transportinfrastructure investment is equivalentto 4.24 percent of GFCF is notappropriate for all 30 countries.

This assumption is derived from the UKdata which is the most detailed availableand as such allows assumptions to be made.

A country has been moved to a newcategory (Figure 7) if it was felt to havebeen initially (Figure 3) in the wrongpeer group. Consequently, we movedIreland, Poland, Portugal and Slovakiainto the Tiger category.

We also reclassified Spain as a Starmarket.

It is important to note that we haveremoved the threshold values from theaxis in Figure 7 as our classifications areno longer quantitative but are based onqualitative judgement.

The Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitor is intended to allowinfrastructure investment to be directly compared across geographies.This, our first edition, has looked into the medium-term future ofEuropean transport between 2008 to 2012.

Concluding thoughts

Taken alone, we believe our baseline forecasts present a step change in the qualityof information available. Yet the true value can be more readily realized whencombined with our member firms’ local insight. This provides the fuller picture ofanticipated transport infrastructure investment in Europe and reveals whichcountries we believe the true performers will be:

• Spain to emerge as a Star market

• The Tigers: Bulgaria, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Slovakiaand Romania

• The five Large and mature markets of France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UKto make up 67 percent of all transport infrastructure investment from 2008-2012.

We hope you find this publication provides you with valuable insight into investmentin European transport infrastructure.

Behind the scenes: What we did and why

Page 15: Global Infrastructure Trend Monitor - European Transport Outlook 2008-2012

Global Infrastructure: Trend Monitor 15

This first edition of KPMG’s GlobalInfrastructure: Trend Monitor exploresthe relative sizes of the Europeantransport infrastructure markets based on comparable data and ourmember firms’ intelligence on each of the countries.

Such data was not available when westarted. We used an econometricmodel to approximate past transportinfrastructure investments (1995-2006)and to build predictive scenarios offuture expenditures (2007-2012). Ourmodel allowed us to generate baselineforecasts for each country that aregrounded in hard evidence andinfluenced by as little judgement as possible. We have been explicitabout judgements where we havemade them.

Our model uses Gross Fixed CapitalFormation (GFCF) data from Eurostat6

as the base information. We believedthat, for our purposes, this data wasthe most consistent and comparableacross the markets. Harmonizing andusing other types of data would havecalled for a considerably larger numberof judgements to be made. Declaredfuture expenditure plans, for example,are announced at different times and indifferent currencies while potentiallyinfluenced by an election cycle.

Future infrastructure investments areoften forecast using Gross DomesticProduct (GDP) as a reference point.Annual changes in GFCF tend not to be the same as those in GDP.Infrastructure investment often tracksGFCF more closely. It is for this reasonthat we have chosen to use GFCF as abasis for our estimate.

We have assumed that transportinfrastructure investment can beapproximated at 4.24 percent of GFCF.Figure 8 shows the underlyingcomponents of the assumption.

Reading Figure 8 from left to right,GFCF breaks down into plant andequipment as well as new-buildconstruction. All new-build constructionfalls either under housing, infrastructureor commercial building. UK NationalAccounts indicate that from 1998 to2005 total infrastructure output (bothtransport and other infrastructure) in theUK was equivalent to 4.08 percent of GFCF.

GFCF, however, only includes newbuild. It does not include repair andmaintenance. Reading Figure 8 fromright to left, construction output breaksdown into new-build construction aswell as repair and maintenance. Someof this is repair and maintenance ofexisting infrastructure while theremainder is that of housing andcommercial buildings. Using the UK Construction Statistics Annual weknow that repair and maintenance is 46 percent of all construction output.

Transport infrastructure is not the onlyform of infrastructure – see the centreof Figure 8. Again, the UK ConstructionStatistics Annual tells us that in the UK,roads, rail, airports and ports represent56 percent of all infrastructure output.7

This percentage has been relativelystable over the long term.

We believe that UK National Accountsand the UK Construction StatisticsAnnual provide the most transparentand detailed information on the breakdown of transport infrastructureexpenditure. We have consequentlybuilt the assumption that transportinfrastructure can be estimated at 4.24percent of GFCF. The assumption isbased on the following:

• New-build infrastructure is 4.08percent of GFCF,

• All infrastructure (including repair andmaintenance) is 1.858 times new-build infrastructure, and

• Transport infrastructure is 56 percentof all infrastructure.

These assumptions were applied toeach European country to produceinfrastructure investment data for years1995 to 2006. The forecasts for 2007 to2012 were produced based on straight-line regression of each market from1995 to 2006. The data produced byour model is included in Appendix 1.

Note: The figures for years 1996 to 2006 are actual expenditures. We assumed that transport infrastructure investment can be approximated by taking 4.24 percentof Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) in each of the 30 countries. The figures for years 2007 to 2012 are baseline forecast that build on hard evidence of thepast. We produced the estimates by taking a straight-line regression of each of the markets from 1995 to 2006. The only exception is Romania for which data from1995 to 1998 was unavailable. All figures are in 2005 prices to facilitate like-for-like comparisons.
