Abstract
From 1990-2010, project sponsors from
the Republic of Korea implemented nineteen infrastructure
projects in low and middle income countries with investment
commitments totaling US$4.9 billion. Investment during all
periods except 2001-2005 was dominated by the energy sector
(US$4 billion), followed by the telecom sector (US$0.9
billion). Korean investment was spread across five regions;
it was heavily concentrated in East Asia and the Pacific
(EAP) region with 78 percent or total investment. This
investment lacked a single country focus.
