Houskamp, MelissaTynan, Nicola2012-08-132012-08-132000-10https://hdl.handle.net/10986/11411This note, based on the World Bank's Private Participation in Infrastructure (PPI) project database, reviews trends in infrastructure projects with private participation in low-income countries. Four main conclusions arise. Surprisingly, the proportion of countries with at least one project - eighty one percent - is higher among low-income, than middle-income countries. As in middle-income countries, most investment has been in telecommunications, or energy projects. However, in low-income countries, well over half the projects are greenfield. And the scale of private participation in low-income countries, lags far behind that in middle-income countries.CC BY 3.0 IGOPRIVATE INFRASTRUCTURELOW-INCOME ECONOMIESINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINVESTMENTSTELECOMMUNICATIONSENERGY SECTORGREENFIELD PROJECTSMIDDLE-INCOME ECONOMIESPROPORTIONAL SAMPLING INCOMEINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESWorld Bank10.1596/11411
