The article references our 2010 estimate on available capital for debt purchases: “Sphere Consulting, a Washington-based government-relations consultancy, estimates $190 billion in private capital from pensions, sovereign-wealth funds and other sources would buy the debt.”
Sphere has an extensive background working within the infrastructure industry, specifically with public-private partnerships. Our working group research has produced an updated report for 2011, demonstrating that $250 billion is available for investment in infrastructure projects, which could create over 1.9 million jobs.
Our report and efforts have gained coverage in major publications such as the Wall Street Journal and Reuters, and working group members have appeared on CNBC, Bloomberg, and Fox to discuss the report's findings and the clear benefits private investment would have on jobs and the economy.
The 2011 report is now available for download here.
