infrastructure projects in developing countries in 2004 and
2005 increased sharply. Meanwhile, the distribution of
investment across sectors and regions, and the allocation of
risks between public and private parties, were shifting.

governments need to create risk sharing arrangements that
attract private operators while also benefiting governments,
taxpayers, and users. |
