| Summary: | From 1990 to 1999 there were 700 energy
projects in developing countries involving private
participation. Investment in these projects totaled nearly
US$190 billion, and foreign capital was a major source of
funds. Global developers were the top ten sponsors of
private energy projects in developing countries. Their
projects accounted for just over a third of total
investment. This Note surveys the trends by region, by
country income level, and by type of project. It also
explores the consequences of the recent Asian financial
crisis for future investment in Asian energy markets. |
