Abstract
Using risk mitigation instruments to
support infrastructure finance has attracted growing
interest among developing country governments, the donor
community and the private sector. Official development
agencies and private insurers are exploring new
applications, opening new possibilities in raising finance
for infrastructure projects. The importance of
infrastructure for economic growth and poverty reduction is
well established. However, raising debt and equity capital
for infrastructure development and service provision remains
a challenge for developing countries.
