Abstract

The G20 has called for greater investment in infrastructure projects in order to boost growth. One such project, the Train à Grande Vitesse (the TGV – France's high-speed train) allows for corporate productivity gains through reorganisations and increased site specialisation in their areas of expertise. For companies in operation in 2011, this could have represented a positive impact on profit margins of between 0.6 and 1.9 percentage points depending on the industry. Le G20 appelle aux investissements d’infrastructure afin de soutenir la croissance. Parmi ceux-ci, le Train à Grande Vitesse (TGV) offre aux entreprises l’opportunité de gains de productivité par le biais de réorganisations et d’une spécialisation accrue des sites dans leurs activités d’excellence. Pour les entreprises actives en 2011, l’impact sur le taux de marge serait de 0,6 à 1,9 points de pourcentage selon le secteur.
