A Progress Report on the Building of the BRICs 
Infrastructure in the BRICs has improved notably in recent years, but still remains far 
behind developed country norms. Infrastructure investment will need to accelerate in the 
years ahead to prevent it from constraining future growth rates in the BRICs. While 
recent large-scale plans from the BRIC governments are encouraging in this regard, they 
will need to do more to attract private investment as well.
