Compared with the previous update on the impact of the crisis, this note incorporates two improvements: a larger sample size (1,080 projects, up from 965 in the previous update) over a longer period (from January 2008 to March 2010). The findings of the survey show that investment growth in PPI projects continues to be concentrated in the largest developing economies, particularly India. The remaining developing countries saw some investment recovery in the first quarter of 2010. However, it is too soon to assess whether this recovery will continue and reverse the trend of declining investment in these countries.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTINGBANKSDEBTDECLINE IN INVESTMENTDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRYDEVELOPING ECONOMIESDEVELOPING ECONOMYECONOMICSEMERGING MARKETSEQUITY HOLDERSFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL MARKETFINANCIAL MARKETSINCOMEINCOME GROUPINCOME GROUPSINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGINTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONINVESTMENT COMMITMENTSINVESTMENT GROWTHINVESTMENT PROGRAMSLIQUIDITYLOANLOAN VOLUMELOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMARKET CONDITIONSMIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIESMOBILE PHONEPRIVATE INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC BANKSPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSTATISTICAL ANALYSISSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTELECOMMUNICATIONSTRANSPORTURBAN DEVELOPMENTWorld Bank10.1596/10918
