From the Paper:

"The public and private works make the provision of roads, dam and canal works including irrigation and drainage provisions. Just as important is the transportation sector within a country which is inclusive of the railway system both in the cities and in the rural areas, interurban railways, ports and waterways and airports and other forms of transportation. Finally, the financial and banking services sector direct capital spending in the best direction. There is no way for expansion to take place in a country until a good base of infrastructure is in existence and this must be accompanied by economic growth which provides support for growth of the infrastructure and further development within the country."
