Private activity grew strongly in East Asia and Pacific, but remained stable, or fell in other regions. After the boom of 1996-2000, investment flows to electricity fell significantly after peaking in 1997, but are still comparable to pre-boom levels.

The decline in private activity played out differently across the developing regions. Latin America, the most active region in the late 1990s, sustained investment flows at levels higher than those of the early 1990s, while East and South Asia saw annual flows fall below those levels 2012-08-13T14:33:08Z 2012-08-13T14:33:08Z 2004-12 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/12/5531374/private-power-projects-annual-investment-flows-grew-2003 Viewpoint. -- Note no. 281 (December 2004) http://hdl.handle.net/10986/11245 English Viewpoint CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Viewpoint Publications & Research
