Such schemes included the investments programs for infrastructure which will create transportation, power and technology platforms all of which are important for improving the productivity of an economy as infrastructure has a two-way relationship with economic growth. In UK the estimated allocation to the local highway maintenance budget is 2.5 million euros out of which 700 million euros worth of contracts can be outsourced to private companies.
