Why this matters
Weak investment can hold back pay and output. Firms need a fair chance to start, compete and grow.
What we want to change
Open markets and make useful projects easier to build. Test support by results, with access open to all.
Give workers better tools
Good tools, buildings and systems help work go further. This dated OECD study shows how investment per worker changed.
