Cost-Benefit Analysis of King Salman Causeway Between Saudi Arabia and Egypt
Abstract
Infrastructure projects are important in the economic development of countries as they boost economic growth by allowing mutual trade between nations. One infrastructure project that is aimed to increase trade operations between Saudi Arabia and Egypt is King Salman Causeway. The project is going to cost about $4 billion and will establish closer links between the two countries, creating job opportunities for both Saudi and Egyptian citizens. The purpose of this research is to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of the causeway infrastructure project, by providing information to decide whether the project should be undertaken or not. The cost-benefit analysis will compare the costs involved in the project with the benefits that will be resulted after the project completion. It concludes that the project should be executed because the benefits that will come from the project exceed the costs that will be incurred in its construction.
