| Summary: | In 2010, three infrastructure projects
with private participation reached financial or contractual
closure in three low- and middle-income countries, involving
investment commitments of US$1.1 billion. Infrastructure
projects implemented in the 1990-2009 period attracted new
investment of US$5.8 billion, bringing total investment
commitments (hereafter, investment) to infrastructure in the
region to US$6.9 billion in 2010. This level of investment
is similar to the one reported in the region in 2009 (US$6.8
billion). However, private activity by number of projects is
one third of the one reported in 2009 during the previous
year (nine new projects in 2009). |
