Strong investment push

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a strong investment push or English. Big Push refers to a massive boost in funding in developing countries that is intended to trigger a so-called development leap.

The term and concept go back to the Austrian economist Paul Rosenstein-Rodan . The big push counts as a major component of the equilibrium growth development strategy . According to this strategy, self-sustaining economic growth in developing countries can only be boosted by a strong investment impulse with simultaneous massive investment of capital in all economic sectors. The vicious circle of poverty should therefore not be broken through a large number of small steps, but through a carefully coordinated bundle of investments.
