Caught it first in FT special overview of infrastructure, but then went to source for chart.
Of the $40T to be spent by 2030, $6.5 in North America, $9.2T in Europe writ large, $7.5T in LATAM, $1.1T in Africa, $0.9T in Mideast, and $15.9T in Asia.
Per the Core Gap map, light in the middle and thicker along the edges.
Breaking it down by category, it's $22.6T in water, $9T in electricity, $7.8T in road and raid, and $1.6T in air & sea.
A lot will be internal improvements, but plenty will be external improvements, i.e., improving linkages between states and regions.
Hardly the picture of a world de-globalizing, yes?
