交通机构喊话政府：资金缺口太大，原定计划很难实现_我的网站

一 |     Sophie 编译 新西兰交通局（NZTA）警告称，在未来10年内，它需要花费的资金将是预计收入的两倍左右。         在给新任交通部长Simeon Brown的简报中，这家政府机构表示，其在公路、铁路、公共交通、步行和骑行方面的大部分计划的未来投资“不足或没有资金”。

However, little had been heard of the G7's endeavor since then. In June 2022, the Group of Seven decided to breathe new life into the project.,"So far, America has failed to build momentum on its plan to Build Back a Better World," says Francesco Sisci, a Beijing-based China expert, author, and columnist. "However, with this new G7 plan, which includes other countries, this momentum could start to be built. It is a question mark. Nobody is sure until things are realized. But you cannot just underestimate and dismiss this plan, because there is a large commitment of many countries with a large economy and this plan could make big sense.",The G7's grand design envisages laying a secure sub-sea telecommunications cable that will connect Singapore to France through Egypt and the Horn of Africa; creating a COVID-19 vaccine plant in Senegal; expanding solar projects in Angola, including solar mini-grids and home power grids; and establishing an innovative modular nuclear reactor plant in Romania, among other issues.,The US president pledged to mobilize $200 billion in investments in global infrastructure projects over the next five years. The overall investment, including G7 member states and private capital, is expected to reach $600 billion.,"With two competing plans - size matters, at the end of the day," says Sisci. "That is, China may be able to immediately finalize a lot of money in a short time in a number of projects. The G7 countries could be slower, but eventually they could build up momentum and they could channel much more money much more effectively, perhaps, in a much larger number of projects which could stifle Chinese projects.",Sisci suggests that the club of developed capitalist countries "may end up being more effective in many ways [than China], a smaller non-capitalist country.","China, but also Russia, by far, don't have the size, the gravitas to oppose even a divided G7, which is coming together because of this opposition to China or Russia-driven projects," he notes.,UK's Looming Recession is Self-Inflicted, BoJo and BoE are to Blame, Economists Say19 June, 12:09 GMT,G7 Economic & Geopolitical Hurdles,However, some other observers express skepticism over the ability of the US and G7 to implement the project given record-high inflation and cost of living crisis currently engulfing the states. The US, British and European central banks are struggling to tame skyrocketing inflation by raising interest rates to reduce demand, which is prompting recession fears.,"Washington claims they are going to be sending over $200 billion. But where's the money coming from and how is it going to be really used?" asks Thomas W. Pauken II, the author of "US vs China: From Trade War to Reciprocal Deal," a consultant on Asia-Pacific affairs and a geopolitical commentator.,He notes that previously the US Senate voted Biden's landmark Build Back Better initiative down, and for good reason, as Republican congressmen feared that the Democratic administration's spending spree would fan inflation and increase an already bloated national debt.,Pauken also expresses bewilderment over the G7's apparent readiness to embark on the bold international project at a time when the group is involved in the Ukraine crisis with the UK trying to keep the military conflict dragging on. "I mean, it's laughable that they have to think about [competing with] China at this time when they're on the brink of a major war in Europe," the commentator remarks.,Challenge or Opportunity? How China's Digital Silk Road May Change Global Technology Order16 April 2021, 04:00 GMT,Meanwhile, the G7's Global Investment and Infrastructure Partnership cannot be regarded so far as a viable alternative to the Beijing-led Belt and Road Initiative that has been implemented for slightly less than a decade, according to Pauken.,"First of all, [the G7] actually need[s] to make these projects work," says the geopolitical commentator. "Other than that solar plant in Angola, I don't see any of these initiatives really working.",In particular, China invested almost $59.5 billion in its comprehensive infrastructure project in 2021 alone. When it comes to crucial elements of the project, the West appears to be lagging behind. While the G7 is still considering building a subsea cable linking Europe and Southeast Asia, China kicked off its Digital Silk Road (DSR) almost seven years ago. The DSR's backbone is the Pakistan and East Africa Connecting Europe (PEACE), a 9,300 mile long subsea cable network meant to tie Asia, Africa, and Europe together. The network is designed to transmit over 16Tbps per fibre pair with its Mediterranean section going from Egypt to France having already been laid.,WFP Announces Cuts in Food Rations for Refugees in East, West Africa Due to Lack of Funds20 June, 17:13 GMT,Are Emerging Economies Interested in the G7 Agenda?,There is yet another problem as to how to make these Western projects attractive for Global South nations, the Asia Pacific expert continues. In particular, the G7 has been pushing ahead with a climate change agenda and the plan to cut carbon emissions, which is not relevant for the majority of third-world states which are still reliant on cheaper and more reliable fossil fuels and coal plants, he notes.,"You also have to deal with auditing issues as well as the so-called climate change consultants who go on the ground and on site," he says. "You have to prove that those infrastructure projects are not causing much of a carbon footprint. But most of the major infrastructure does require a big carbon footprint, especially in the emerging markets, because they don't have the same equipment or they don't have the same standards or labor laws as they would have in Western Europe or the US.",Many emerging economies, including African countries, are beginning to have a growing frustration with the US and Europe, according to Pauken. The reality is that Africans and many of the emerging markets want to focus on economic stuff, he notes. However, when the US officials come in, they're talking about climate change or gender equity, and this is not as interesting to developing nations, the commentator emphasizes.,"[Developing nations] want help on improving their agricultural production levels and boosting their energy capacity, which the Russians and the Chinese have been doing," Pauken notes.,Given all of the above, it is unlikely that the G7's Global Investment and Infrastructure Partnership initiative is going to actually happen, argues the geopolitical commentator.,"They're rebranding a failed policy, thinking it might work by using new names and new mergers. Last time it was separate between the EU and separate between the US and they somehow think that if you combine the two failed projects into one, that this will somehow succeed. That's not going to work in the real world," Pauken concludes.。         “现有的网络和服务不断增长，但正在老化，许多现有的陆路交通网络和资产已达到更新年头。

三 | ”          “交通网络的状况近年也受到天气事件增加的影响，我们预计天气事件的频率和影响将继续升级。”          “同时再加上人口增长和货运量增加对网络的需求不断增加，意味着对可持续交通网络的投资变得越来越重要。”          NZTA还指出，在成本迅速上升、存在供应链问题的情况下，它的角色和责任已经扩大，而且如果未来开车的人减少，它将面临如何继续创造收入的不确定性。         该机构表示，它将支持并“加速”实施政府旨在增加其收入的政策。         政府希望使NZTA的收入来源多样化。         原则上，政府支持价值获取（向新建或改善的基础设施的受益者收费）、拥堵收费、收费和使用公私合作伙伴关系。         NZTA表示：“每一种方式都有自己的目的、好处、限制和操作复杂性。”          它告诉Brown，如果不能产生足够的收入，它需要政府给予承担所有债务的保证。                   被推迟或延迟的项目          NZTA警告说，它将无法实现其在2021-24年国家陆路运输计划中的目标。

四 |          该机构表示，其产出将“远低于”计划的水平，“许多项目将被推迟或延迟。”          “在这个充满挑战和不断发展的运营环境中，我们需要建立一个可交付的工作计划，以反映资金和产出的限制。

五 | ”          产出限制是财政部首先考虑的问题。         在给新任基础设施部长Chris Bishop的简报中，财政部指出，最近几年已经为基础设施（不仅仅是由NZTA监督的陆路运输基础设施）分配了比实际能够花费的资金更多的资金。         财政部表示：“近年来已分配了大量资金，这使得投资计划超出了机构和市场的能力，导致成本上升和项目推迟。”          “市场环境仍然充满挑战。”          “大规模投资的交付依赖于主导市场的大型一级公司，它们目前已经满负荷运转。”          相关阅读：          自驾出游注意！北岛几处施工路段将长时间关闭，请提前计划路线          五年来国家公路上出现的坑洼超过21万个，最多的地区是……          新年首月道路死亡人数创记录，考驾照要加大难度？          奥克兰交通局今夏将修复550公里道路，资金削减交通安全如何保障？          注：本文为编译/原创，欢迎转发分享；但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者，本网将追究其相关法律责任。使用授权请联系[email protected]。         chineseherald.co.nz All Rights Reserved 版权所有          (责编：Sophie)          相关内容                自驾出游注意！北岛几处施工路段将长时间关闭，请提前计划路线           两名男子大白天持械抢劫奥克兰酒铺，抡起斧头砍店员           怀唐伊日天气：新西兰大部阳光普照，某些地区将达35度           新西兰一高中近40名教职工感染 新冠蔓延仍不可掉以轻心           新西兰真相大曝光！移民太多吃不消！大地震随时会爆发……           奥克兰发生两起涉嫌使用假钞的案件，4人被逮捕           奥克兰人下班回家难：海港大桥有强风，火车服务严重中断           免费的新冠检测试剂盒领取期限延长！。
