Summary: | The Latin America and the Caribbean Region (LAC) has the largest
stock of active PPP investments and the largest pipeline of infrastructure
projects by volume globally, reflecting the central role of the private
sector in the regional development agenda. Looking ahead, the region
is making efforts to close the estimated US$180 billion per year investment
gap with further private sector resources by: (i) improving the enabling
environment for private investments to take place; and (ii) developing
a robust pipeline of bankable projects. The WBG is well-placed
to assist the region with financial support and knowledge services, as
illustrated by the examples selected for part three of this report.
