    Solution

    Increased infrastructure investment can actually lead to an increase in economic growth rather than a decrease. Infrastructure is the backbone of any economy, and its development can lead to several positive economic impacts. Hence, statement 1 is not correct. Infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and public transportation systems can make it easier and faster for businesses to transport goods and for workers to get to their jobs. This can increase productivity and efficiency, which can lead to higher economic growth. Hence, statements 2 and 3 are correct.
