We need an OBR for infrastructure

The article argues for the establishment of an independent expert body, referred to as an OBR (Oversight and Benchmarking Review), to evaluate infrastructure projects. Such a body would provide crucial assurances to investors, ensuring that the projected benefits justify the costs. This initiative is essential in fostering confidence in large-scale infrastructure investments, which are critical for economic growth and development. The proposal highlights the importance of unbiased, expert scrutiny to optimize resource allocation and drive successful, sustainable projects.
