Abstract
This note asserts that Eastern Europe
and Central Asia is attracting more investment to
infrastructure projects with private participation than any
other developing region except Latin America. Members of the
European Union (EU) and countries seeking membership account
for most of the investment. The Russian Federation is
emerging as a leader both in attracting private activity and
in sponsoring projects in neighboring countries.
Telecommunications and energy are the leading sectors. But
new regulatory challenges are emerging as a result of
exclusivity periods in telecommunications and greater market
concentration and vertical reintegration in energy.
