In the December 2013 Podcast, iC editor Chris Sleight and deputy editor Helen Wright discuss some of the key news and features from the magazine.

In news we look at proposals from the World Bank for a new project finance framework, while this month’s business page includes a look at the damages that have been levied against an asphalt cartel in Finland.

December’s issue also includes a feature on component parts for OEMs, as well as a regional report looking at construction markets in North Africa.

We also review the inaugural International Construction Economic Forum (ICEF), which took place from 20 to 22 November.
