| Summary: | In 2010, 24 energy, transport, and water
projects with private participation reached financial or
contractual closure in 12 of the 63 International
Development Association (IDA) countries involving investment
commitments of US$7.5 billion That investment represents a
record level compared with the US$1 to US$3 billion annual
investment's range of the last five years (US$1 billion
in 2009). The number of projects also increased
significantly with nine additional projects compared to
2009. This increase was driven mostly by the energy sector,
which accounted for 19 of the 24 new projects and for US$6.8
billion in investments. In comparison the energy sector had
only 10 projects in 2009 representing US$605 million in
investments. The largest 2010 energy project was the Hongsa
partially captive coal power plant in Laos, which involved
investment commitments of US$3.7 billion. In addition to
energy projects, four transport projects with private
participation reached financial closure in four IDA
countries representing more than US$728 million in investments. |
