Country overview
China has seen strong improvement across its procurement and permit processes and regulatory markets since 2017. This has been driven by reductions in cost to start a business and time to register property, as well as by transparency of procurement processes. China’s infrastructure investment remains high at 6.7% of GDP, but its private infrastructure investment remains low as a percent of GDP.
Governance structure
China has five tiers of government under a civil law system. Infrastructure delivery is a complex collaboration between tiers of government with infrastructure plans set by the central government and delivered by provincial, prefectural, and county governments.
