The Strategic 100 LA list is a critical tool for accomplishing our vision and it is designed to assist public and private sector leaders from throughout Latin America in identifying and rapidly building strategic infrastructure. Strategic infrastructure is shorthand for those projects that are building blocks - physical, financial, and technical - by which long-term competitiveness is created. We look forward to engaging your feedback, both online through GViP and during the 12th Latin American Infrastructure Leadership Forum, on how to rapidly move these projects forward.

Purpose/ Vision
VisionCG/LA Infrastructure’s objective for the Strategic Top 100 LA is to double Latin America’s infrastructure investment by 2020. The projects on this list will improve the quality of that investment and, with a focus on sustained competitiveness, will increase the number of high quality, long-term jobs created throughout the region. A recent study we commissioned with the London School of Economics showed that if Latin America can double its level of investment in infrastructure, then the region’s GDP will grow by more than 3% above the trend line, achieving and sustaining Asian growth rates.
8cG/la strategic top 100 La | copyright© 2014 cG/La infrastructure inc. all rights reserved.
The Strategic 100 LA focuses on those projects that will happen in the next 3 to 18 months, throughout Latin America. It is also the cornerstone of the 12th Latin American Infrastructure Leadership Forum. Projects are selected during a 6 month process, beginning with a preliminary list of over 640 projects. The 2014 Strategic Top 100 LA is valued at US$138.7 billion.
The 2014 list comes at pivotal moment for Latin America. The world is turning toward increased investment in infrastructure, but Latin America - along with Africa - spends less than any region in the world, roughly 1.7% of GDP. This needs to at least double. According to CG/LA’s recently updated 2018 data model, most countries in Latin America need to increase their infrastructure investment by 250% within 5 years, and some countries, Argentina for instance, need to increase investment in the right infrastructure projects by 350%. If this were to happen, the market would reach $250+ billion annually by 2018 and GDP would grow by at least 3% above the current trend line.
The projects in this year’s Strategic Top 100 fall into 10 sectors, all focused on strategic infrastructure:
Total jobs created from investments made into the projects of the Top 100 will equal approximately 2.1 million jobs - directly and indirectly. In the high labor-intensive sectors, 8.6 jobs
Executive Summary
are created per each million dollars invested. In the lower labor-intensive sectors, 2.6 jobs are created per each million dollars invested. We want this annual report, along with our 12th Latin American Infrastructure Leadership Forum, to serve as a tool, pushing these projects to future success.
The Infrastructure Leadership Forum Series is a differentiator in the industry, gathering a community of experts around a dynamic infrastructure marketplace focusing on strategic project opportunities. All projects listed on the Top 100 are invited to present at the 12th Latin American Infrastructure Leadership Forum, driving

This list comes at a pivotal moment for Latin America, and for our host Colombia. The world is calling for dramatic increases in infrastructure investment, and Latin America is the region that can most dramatically increase investment - and that would most benefit from that increased investment. Our 2018 data models show that most countries in the region should optimally increase their infrastructure investment by 250% within five years (others, like Argentina, need to make even great efforts).

> For the past 10 years, we’ve watched Latin America ride the commodity bubble, building infrastructure to facilitate exports and maximize ROI’s, but without a focus on what makes sense long-term for the region. What we’re seeing now is a shift, to a more strategic vision for infrastructure investment. The Latin American infrastructure market is roughly $98 billion this year, and our data model shows that number increasing to $114 billion by 2018. We’re seeing strong, strategic projects being built, laying the foundation for steady growth. We’re focused on anticipating what’s next for the region and on how infrastructure firms and industry leaders will carry this momentum forward, as Latin America takes the lead in the global infrastructure market.
Why did you choose Cartagena, Colombia for the setting of the Forum?
> We chose Cartagena because it exemplifies the growth potential we spoke about previously. Not only is it the home to one of the fastest growing container ports, but it is also the second busiest one in Latin America, behind Santos in Brazil. Cartagena is tremendous market, a gateway to the Colombian hinterland.We are focused on promoting
Interview with CEONorman F Anderson
projects with long-term growth potential and opportunity for their communities, states, and countries. Cartagena has three great infrastructure projects under development:: 1) Expansion of the container terminal, (2) dredging to be able to receive Post-Panamax ships, and (3) an intermodal logistics hub on the Magdalena River. There is also the Refineía del Caribe Project and the incredible growth of Cartagena as a tourist destination. These are the investments that will have a 20 – 30 year impact on the region and it is the type of growth and opportunity we want to highlight.
What are the two key things governments need to do to sustain infrastructure growth?
> 1) Governments must develop a long-term vision to identify goals and define a measure of success (a raised per capita income, higher overall GDP, increased business and individual opportunity, more jobs, etc.). Vision also creates two additional requirements for a sustained infrastructure build: urgency, and a clear set of criteria for selecting priority projects. This tight connection between an attainable view of the Promised Land – and its benefits – and current investment is essential. 2) They also must pick priority

projects. Governments are notorious for developing “wish lists” of infrastructure projects, without giving much thought to “why?” or “how?” The projects contained in our Strategic Top 100 LA are infrastructure investments that will contribute to continuing competitiveness growth in the region for years to come.What do Latin American governments need to do to attract funding from the private sector?
> Funding is a major obstacle for the region, because it is not clear where the equity is going to come from. Great projects should bring institutional funding into the game (from within the region), but governments need to have a sense of urgency in terms of policy innovations that will mitigate risk for institutional investors and equity partners. This market must be liquid so that operating investors can exit once they have overseen a project’s close, construction, and commissioning.

Within the general planning framework set out by the forthcoming PNDP, there is a project that, given the economic importance of the hinterland it will serve and the magnitude of the infrastructure involved, stands out as singular. With feasibility studies soon to be published, an important step will have been taken towards publicly tendering the first terminal of the PGE by 2015.
Construction of natural gas pipelines and liquid gas pipelines from Malvinas plant to the Connection Point (CP) and then to the Chinquintirca plant. Construction of the southern region gas pipeline from the Connection Point (CP) to south coast of the country.
The Power Purchase Agreement has been executed as a 20 year PPA in August 2012 for the value of $63.5/MWh. Developer is looking for investors or potentially a buyer for the project as is.
The idea of Bahia’s government is the winners, which can be firms specialized in container, solid or liquid bulk cargo transportation, to create a special purpose entity for the construction and operation of the terminal.

Cartagena Port expansion
As part of the port expansion project, approval was given for the access channel to the Port of Cartagena to be expanded. The access channel will be deepened from 14.17 to 20.5 meters and widened to between 140 and 200 meters allowing Cartagena to receive vessels of up to 14,000 TEU or 160,000 Dwt by 2018.

Montevideo is hoping to strike a public-private partnership (PPP) for this deep-water port which it expects to handle mainly bulk cargo. Under the PPP agreement, the project would be a public port, designed, built, operated and funded by the private sector. Concession to manage the terminal would be granted for a period of at least 30 years.
The new airport investment will be executed in two phases: first, feasibility studies and secondary infrastructure; and second, the construction of up to four runaways. It is designed to have a viability of 40 years with a high volume of passengers and cargo, as well as a connection point for the central region of the country.
Phase 2 of the underground metro project will involve tunnelling works to lay the track, construction of the remaining 13 stations, a maintenance depot, shafts, and procurement of advanced rolling stock. Two TBMs are expected to be used for the tunnelling works under Phase 2.
The first line will extend 110 blocks ending north of the capital. This project will increase the mobility of city residents, reducing their commute time and increasing comfort by expanding the capacity of the transport system.
el Tablón, Los Llanitos y Jicatuyo
Jicatuyo, Los Llanitos and El Tablón hydroelectric powerplants will tranform Honduras’ power grid, and dramatically reduce the cost of energy. In addition to the thousands of jobs created, the country could export power once all projects are completed.

> Competitiveness - 40%. our goal here is to determine how a project fits within the country’s overall economic vision. This is the defining question behind the creation of this list, because it’s critical to distinguish political projects from real projects; this ensures that each project on our list has a legitimate purpose, helping to fulfill a country’s vision to prosperity.
> Productivity - 10%. Here we want to
include how this project helps people do their jobs better -- cutting down on their commutes, providing clean, cheap energy, maximizing a country’s competitive advantage. This IS measurable, and is often measured in feasibility studies. A project’s score hinges on a leader’s ability to build a consensus vision around its priority project by clearly demonstrating how the project will contribute to removing inefficiencies in moving people, goods and information.

TO SELECT AND RANK THE STRATEGIC TOP 100 LA PROJECTS CG/LA follows a systematic and disciplined approach that is both qualitative and quantitative.
Ranking the projects begins after narrowing down CG/LA’s proprietary project database from 640 eligible infrastructure projects to a list of approximately 150 high quality, opportunity-rich projects. Our model incorporates a number of data points, - including infrastructure sector, project USD value, country, and jobs created - and rates each project according to six weighted criteria:

development of the surrounding area. The World Bank’s figure that for every US$1B invested in infrastructure, 16,000 direct jobs are created, we posit that the number of direct jobs is about half that number, at 8,000.
> Business Creation - 10%. Projects are ranked
according to the likelihood of a business ‘event’ happening in the next 3-18 months (this can be anything from a feasibility study, to an RFI, through to funding, financing, bidding, procurement, and even O&M contracting); it’s absolutely critical to the Leadership Forum that these projects have concrete business opportunities for the private sector.
> Environmental and Carbon Efficiency - 10%.
Here we give credit to projects that are cleaner and that allow cities, regions and nations to operate more efficiently. Transit projects, renewable generation projects, a bridge that reduces congestion and long commutes and water treatment facilities are examples of projects increasing technological capabilities and connecting the region.

Notes on Methodology
> Country rating - 20%. We rate each country according to CG/LA’s “Country Infrastructure Capacity” model, which examines 8 criteria: vision; public sector technical capacity; public sector strategic capacity; ability to deliver strategic projects on time and on budget; leadership; performance; local EPC firms; local equity capacity. We rate each country from 0 to 1 with Chile with the highest rating of .9 and Venezuela with the lowest rating .25.
Our goal is to increasingly rely on quantitative measures in our scoring. With that in mind, we have included our internal ranking for display in this year’s Strategic Top 100 LA. Infrastructure is a tremendous mix of the qualitative and the quantitative - art as much as science. Our ranking system strives to be as rigorous as possible, while still leaving a great wide open space for the driving force behind so many infrastructure projects: the human imagination!
