Infrastructure Investment

Improving access to quality logistics infrastructure and services drives economic growth, a more equitable trade system, and sustainable development. According to the United Nations, infrastructure constraints affect firm productivity growth by about 40%. Agility is investing heavily in infrastructure and trade-facilitating services across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
