Abstract
In 2010, 13 infrastructure projects with
private participation reached financial or contractual
closure in 11 low- and middle-income countries, involving
investment commitments of US$1.5 billion. Infrastructure
projects implemented in the 1990-2009 period attracted new
investment of US$11.1 billion, bringing total investment
commitments (hereafter, investment) to infrastructure in the
region to US$12.6 billion in 2010. This level of activity is
similar to the one reported in 2009, which saw 11 projects
and US$12.6 billion in total investment. In 2010, investment
in new projects increased by 21 percent compared with 2009
while investment in previously implemented projects declined
by 3 percent.
