Endy M. Bayuni and Prodita Sabarini

Jakarta (The Jakarta Post) - It's full steam ahead for World Bank infrastructure lending thanks to the insistence of its new president, Paul Wolfowitz, who feels that the bank needs to be part and parcel of poverty eradication programs in developing countries.

But this time around, the bank is involving civil society organizations in these projects as a means of ensuring their efficiency, and preventing the corruption and environmental degradation that has beset many of its projects in the past.

In a paper distributed during a discussion Monday, the World Bank said its infrastructure lending could reach $10 billion a year within the next two years, up from $7.4 billion in 2005...

Booz Allen Hamilton: Public-private partnerships keep Middle East water flowing

The water needs of Middle Eastern countries are growing at a significant rate, while the cost of providing this valuable resource is increasing while nonrenewable groundwater reserves are shrinking.

As a result, Middle Eastern governments are increasingly turning to public-private partnerships (PPPs) to manage their water resources and everything related to water distribution.

The amount of available renewable water per person in Middle East and North African (MENA) countries is one-fifth of what it is in the rest of the world, and 80% of the countries fall below...

Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia Star) - WITH Malaysia having seen rapid development over the past 25 years that has resulted in infrastructure improvement, we now see skyscrapers and expressways linking major cities virtually juxtaposed to quaint old houses in Kuala Lumpur.

Given this scenario, Master Builders Association Malaysia (MBAM) president Datuk Goh Chye Koon agrees there is an overcapacity in the local construction scene, and that it is imperative for construction and property companies to look outside the country for "emptier" pastures.

"Yes, there is indeed over-capacity in the local scene, and local (construction) players would do well...

Sakhalin Energy, in which oil giant Shell has a controlling stake, is this weekend facing allegations that it is misleading potential funders of the world's second most expensive infrastructure project. The company is apparently claiming to comply with environmental standards despite evidence to the contrary.

A series of documents leaked to The Observer state that independent consultants monitoring the construction of a $20bn gas and oil project on Sakhalin island, off the east coast of Russia, highlight numerous breaches of environmental...

NEW DELHI, MAY 17: The Maharashtra government has requested the Centre to prevail upon the World Bank to lift partial suspension on the funding plan for the Rs 4,300 crore Mumbai Urban Transport Plan (MUTP). The bank had put the funding of MUTP in abeyance, due to the government's tardiness in implementing the resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) programme.

Philippine gov't dismisses German criticism over airport project.

MANILA, May 17 (Xinhua) -- The Philippine government on Wednesday rebuked the German ambassador for saying that there would be no German investments in the country's infrastructure without the government paying a German company for building the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (NAIA 3).

Finance Secretary Margarito Teves said the government would have to work on the general economic environment of the country to promote foreign direct investments rather than focus on one issue such as NAIA 3, saying it is not the Philippines' business...

Warning to readers: this item may cause fatigue, loss of energy or temporary vision impairment. It is exceptionally long. It lists the assets owned or partly owned by Macquarie Bank or its investment banking funds (see a list below), listed by Australian assets and international assets. It was researched by Crikey reporters Ben Shearman and Michael Newhouse, with assistance from MacBank's public relations office. It took several weeks to compile. Send any additions or corrections to boss@crikey.com.au

Today, as Macquarie unveils its biggest-ever annual profit of $916 million and its latest list of stratospheric executive salaries, we've decided to look at the ubiquity angle. A few months ago we asked ourselves: what, exactly, does Macquarie Bank own? We've heard about the toll roads and the airports and this-and-that, but what does it all add up to?

In today's Crikey email edition we publish the list of Macquarie's assets - and it ain't short. In Australia alone, MacBank and its funds have a major stake in:

• 43 aged care facilities
• 118 industrial properties
• 6 marinas
• 85 commercial radio licences
• 23 office buildings
• 5 major tollroads
• Dreamworld
• 47 ten pin bowling centres
• 80 supermarkets and other retail properties
• Sydney Airport
• 3 energy distributors

And you can add to that list MacBank's international assets:

• 6 airports
• 28 tollroads
• 14 energy utilities
• 2 ports
• 4 media/communications assets
• 17 office buildings
• 241 retail shopping properties
• 4 transport assets
• 178 industrial properties
  

Is there a company or an asset list like this anywhere in the world? Macquarie Bank is a one-off, a stunning picture of capitalism at its broadest. If we were BRW, we'd stick 'em on the cover and glorify them. Being Crikey, we have some other issues. Like: where will all this scale and power end; is it a good thing for any company (especially one which is rapidly growing its media assets and therefore its influence) to have so many big irons in so many big fires; and what kind of ripple effect would be triggered by a rumbling in the asset base?

Meanwhile, prepare your eyes for one of the longest lists of assets owned by a single entity you'll ever read...

New York (NY Times) -- As energy-rich countries feel empowered by high oil prices, they are increasingly using a blunt instrument to make their influence felt. Call it the power of the pipeline.

New, superlong pipelines are planned for South America, the Middle East, Russia and Africa, and oil-producing countries are using them to forge political alliances, punish foes and extract concessions from customers.

"Pipelines mean political leverage," said Frank A. Verrastro, the director of the energy program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies...

Unique International Exposition Will Be Presented At Major Ports Year-Round Bantam, Connecticut 5/11/2006 2:36 PM GMT (TransWorldNews) PRESS & MEDIA RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE WORLDWIDE PUBLICATION

WOW!! ... is the first word of exclamation most people utter when they learn about WORLD SHIP FLEET, the newly conceived, state-of-the-art "World's-Fair-By-Sea". Developed quietly during a recent ten year period, this forthcoming, highly innovative, international exposition is now starting to market exhibit space aboard the mammoth ocean-going ships especially designed for it. Three ships will comprise its initial phase of construction, and seven more will eventually be built to make up the full aggregate fleet of ten. Intellectually conceived by Milton Feinberg, an inventive global project-developer, WORLD SHIP FLEET will function as a super-catalyst in the interests of export trade as well as -- bringing dynamic activities to the forefront to rectify dilemas that afflict humanity. "It's meant to promote a better life for all", he says, "And be my legacy". As he views the dilemmas besetting the world, he is a staunch believer that international commerce can effectively contribute to economic gain and, in turn, reduce harmful, wasteful and unreasonable belligerence as well as ... overcome poverty. Feinberg says he learned of this worthy principle in "The Good Society", a book by the highly respected economist John Kenneth Galbraith.

WORLD SHIPS, nautically engineered by one of the world's foremost shipyards, yet unlike any vessels yet conceived, will be of gross tonnage and spaciousness exceeding any ship at sea today. No passengers will travel aboard the Fleet's ships as they wend their way on pre-scheduled itineraries within the three major world-regions of: The Orient/Europe/Africa/Sub-Continent; and The Americas. However, it is planned to have Hotel Ships sailing along with ships of the Fleet, not only for those that would like to enjoy a cruise, but at the same time visit the Fleet when it is docked at major ports around the world. As there be all sorts of entertainment, restaurants, fascinating exhibits and worthy humanistic programs aboard the Fleet in addition to commercial facilities, there will be no lack of enjoyment for its millions of annual visitors.

The international commerce exhibit is called "EXPORTS-EXPO" while the exhibition devoted to addressing the vital concerns of the world's people is called "Humanitaria".

To gain details and a greater appreciation of this grand happening, view its website at: www.worldship.org and register your interest to participate no matter that your prime interest concerns Business, Education, Sports, Nations' Governments, Nonprofit Organizations, Tourism, the Environment, Show-business, the Arts, or as a valued public visitor. Registrants will be freely subscribed to THE WORLD SHIP TIMES. For your first contact, you may use email: worldshipfleet@optonline.net, or an airmail letter to: WORLD SHIP FLEET, P.O. Box 266, Bantam, CT 06750, U.S.A. Kindly do not use telephone or fax. Bon Voyage !!

Dhaka (The Daily Star) - Foreign direct investment (FDI) is increasingly becoming a preferred form of capital flow to developing countries in recent years. In the context of the heavy debt burden plaguing these countries, FDI promises to be the bright ray of hope for harnessing capital flows without the pangs of capital repayment with interest.

Cape Town (Business Day) -- WHATEVER ire she might have incurred, Cape Town mayor Helen Zille was quite right to insist on getting hard figures for the new Cape Town stadium. And if they are wise, more government officials will soon start asking the same kind of questions about the 2010 World Cup. Before I get pelted with eggs for saying this, let us agree: the contracts are signed. Every project essential to the 2010 World Cup is going ahead. No fussing or worrying by any politician...
