| Summary: | Investment commitments to infrastructure
projects with private participation in Europe and Central
Asia amounted to US$45.5 billion in 2007, reaching a new
peak, according to just-released data from the private
participation in infrastructure project database. Europe and
Central Asia accounted for 29 percent of the year's
total investment commitments in developing countries, a
larger share than any other developing region. Investment
commitments in the region were almost twice those in 2006,
thanks both to new projects and to projects implemented in
previous years. The 43 new projects accounted for US$21.3
billion, while projects reaching financial closure in
1990-2006 attracted US$24.2 billion. Investment in physical
assets increased by almost 75 percent to US$32 billion,
accounting for 70 percent of the year's investment in
the region. Payments to the government (such as divestiture
revenues and spectrum or concession fees) amounted to
US$13.6 billion, the second highest level in the region in 1990-2007. |
