| Summary: | Drawing on the World Bank's private
participation in infrastructure project database, this note
reviews developments in 2001 and summarizes trends in
1990-2001. Data for 2001 show that total investment in
projects with private participation was US$57 billion back
to 1995 levels and 150 projects reached financial closure.
Between 1990 and 2001, 132 low- and middle-income countries
introduced private participation in infrastructure sectors
57 of them in three or four sectors. During that period the
private sector took over the operating or construction risk,
or both, for almost 2,500 infrastructure projects in
developing countries, attracting investment commitments of
more than US$750 billion. Those projects have been
implemented under schemes ranging from management contracts
(with or without investment commitments) to divestitures to
build-operate-own or build-operate-transfer contracts for
greenfield projects with merchant facilities. |
