The Uyugan Times

Investment in infrastructure can raise productivity by increasing returns to private capital. In the public sector, investment in infrastructure can raise the quality and efficiency of health, education and other public services.

Total capital investment consists of all of the investments in buildings, networks (roads, cables), ports and machinery and equipment by government, companies and other organizations.

The Batanes economy of tomorrow will require infrastructure investment:

1. to accommodate economic
    growth;
2. to keep existing
    infrastructure in good
    condition,
3. to improve the efficiency and quality of public services, as technology and methods of delivering service
    change.

To meet the infrastructure investment challenge facing Batanes, more investment is needed. This challenge cannot be met by the province acting alone.
