| Summary: | This review sheds some light on recent
private participation in infrastructure (PPI) activity, the
short-term impact of the financial crisis and its aftermath.
Compared with the previous update on the impact of the
crisis, this note incorporates two improvements: a larger
sample size (1,080 projects, up from 965 in the previous
update) over a longer period (from January 2008 to March
2010). The findings of the survey show that investment
growth in PPI projects continues to be concentrated in the
largest developing economies, particularly India. The
remaining developing countries saw some investment recovery
in the first quarter of 2010. However, it is too soon to
assess whether this recovery will continue and reverse the
trend of declining investment in these countries. |
