S'pore tops Asia in per capita returns from infrastructure

Singapore

SINGAPORE generates the highest built-asset income per person in Asia, at US$35,900, according to the Global Built Asset Performance Index by design and consulting firm Arcadis.

The index is designed to understand how built assets can power more growth to economies by examining the income generated by buildings and infrastructure (for example, roads, airports, power plants, malls, railways, ports) across 36 countries and comparing it to the size of the economy measured by gross domestic product (GDP) as well as per-capita incomes.
