Abstract
This review of new private participation
in infrastructure (PPI) projects, covering the period up to
June 2009, sheds some light on the recent activity and the
short-term impact of the financial crisis, compared with the
previous updates on the impact of the crisis, this note
incorporates several improvements: a larger sample size (714
projects versus 522 in the previous update) over a longer
period of time (from January 2008 to June 2009 compared to
the previous update, which covered January 2008 to March
2009). The survey finds that the financial crisis
significantly affected the rate of project closure rate of
new PPI projects in the second half of 2008. The impact of
the crisis varies across developing regions with Europe and
Central Asia (ECA) being the most affected region so far.
This analysis will be refined in the coming quarters to
assess the extent to which these trends continue.
