Abstract
Private participation in roads revived
strongly in developing countries in 2005-06. The activity
was concentrated in green field projects and in Asia and
Latin America. The main reason for the revival has been the
willingness of governments to provide support needed to
attract the private sector. Nevertheless, governments need
to be aware of the potential risks of such support. And
because of the monopolistic features of road projects, they
also need to ensure good governance so that the public reaps
the full benefits of the private sector's involvement.
