Abstract
The report is about the private
participation in infrastructure database. Private activity
in infrastructure continued its recovery in 2006. The number
of projects reaching financial or contractual closure also
showed a recovery. The number of private infrastructure
projects implemented in 2006 grew by 17 percent to 271
percent. Telecommunications played the biggest part in this:
projects reaching closure in 2006 accounted for just 18
percent of the year's investment in the sector, while
those closing in previous years represented 82 percent. The
recovery in energy investment was driven by six large
projects which accounted for 45 percent of commitments in
2006. Finally, new private activity in water focused on
smaller projects. The report concludes, continuing the trend
of the previous four years, private activity in 2006 was
more evenly distributed across regions than it had been
during the boom of the late 1990s.
