joined with Trusted

to publish a two volume study on the
outlook for infrastructure investment in the two largest emerging
markets: China and India.
China
Infrastructure: Playing the Boom is
a 240 page comprehensive analysis of future development and
investment opportunities generated in five key infrastructure
sectors: (1) electric power; (2) railways; (3) coastal ports and
harbours; (4) inland water transport; and (5) domestic water supply.
Each sector is critical to sustaining the country's economic growth
and will continue to be the subject of major state investment
programmes. India Infrastructure: Playing Catch-Up provides a 200 page analysis of the current state of play and likely future developments for five major infrastructure sectors: (1) electric power; (2) roads; (3) ports and harbours; (4) airports and civil aviation; and (5) railways. In addition to setting out in detail the key goals in each sector, the report offers an in-depth assessment of the political and policy context of these initiatives. 11 December 2007
The
gas industry in China is remarkably similar to the electric
power sector, in that there are abundant reserves of gas, but
much of it is undeveloped and its extraction and distribution
require a massive investment, which must inevitably be reflected
in tariffs.
Also, although the gas network is
being developed there are
periods, as is the case today, when supplies need to be
rationed.
In China, gas prices, like electricity
tariffs, are regulated by the government, which aims to keep them
low so as to contain inflation.
Similar to the setting of electricity
tariffs, gas price regulation is largely an opaque process managed
by a number of government agencies.
The well-head price is approved by the
National Development Reform Commission (NDRC) and is adjusted
annually, based on a basket of competing energy commodities.
