The report is about the private
participation in infrastructure database. In 2008, 216
infrastructure projects with private participation reached
financial or contractual closure in 48 low- and
middle-income countries. These involve investment
commitments (hereafter, investment) of US$66.5 billion.
Infrastructure projects implemented in previous years had
additional commitments of US$87.9 billion, bringing total
investment in 2008 to US$154.4 billion. That represents a
drop of 4 percent from the level reported in 2007.
Investment in new projects accounted for the decline,
falling by 12 percent from the level in 2007. By contrast,
investment in projects implemented in previous years was up
3 percent from 2007. When investment is classified by type,
it is payments to governments (such as concession or lease
fees and divestiture revenues) that explain the drop in
total investment. Such payments totaled US$19.1 billion, 42
percent lower than in 2007 and the lowest since 2004. By
contrast, investments in physical assets grew by 6 percent
from 2007 to reach US$135.3 billion, the highest level in 1990-2008. |
