It argues that the region's infrastructure has suffered from public retrenchment and unrealistic expectations about private involvement. Poor infrastructure now hampers productivity, growth, and poverty reduction. Addressing this requires more and better spending, and acceptance that governments remain central to infrastructure provision and supervision, although the private sector still has an important role to play.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SAFE WATERACCOUNTINGACCOUNTING FRAMEWORKAIRPORTSAUTONOMYBLOCK TARIFFBLOCK TARIFFSBOND ISSUEBONDSBOTTLENECKSCAPACITY BUILDINGCELLULAR TELEPHONESCONCESSIONCONCESSIONAIRESCONCESSIONSCONSOLIDATIONCONTRACT DESIGNCOST OF CAPITALCOST RECOVERYCURRENT EXPENDITURESDEBT SERVICEDECENTRALIZATIONDISTRIBUTION LOSSESDRAINAGEDRIVINGECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTUREECONOMICSELECTRIC POWERELECTRICITYELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTIONELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY SERVICESELECTRICITY TARIFFELECTRICITY TARIFFSEMERGING MARKETSEXCESSIVE PROFITSFINANCE INFRASTRUCTUREFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MARKETSFISCAL BALANCEFOREIGN EXCHANGEGENERATION CAPACITYGOVERNMENT SECURITIESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROWTH IN DEMANDGROWTH RATESINFRASTRUCTURE ASSETSINFRASTRUCTURE COSTSINFRASTRUCTURE FINANCEINFRASTRUCTURE FINANCINGINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTSINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINFRASTRUCTURE PROVISIONINFRASTRUCTURE REFORMINFRASTRUCTURE SERVICESINFRASTRUCTURE SPENDINGINSURANCEINSURANCE COMPANIESINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINVESTMENT CLIMATELATIN AMERICANLAWSLICENSESLOCAL CURRENCY FINANCINGLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMITIGATION MECHANISMSMUNICIPAL FINANCENEIGHBORHOODSO&MOPPORTUNISTIC BEHAVIORPENSION FUNDSPENSIONSPOPULATION DENSITYPORT CONCESSIONSPOWER DISTRIBUTIONPRICE CAPPRICE CAP REGULATIONPRICE INCREASESPRIVATE OPERATORSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPRIVATIZATIONPRIVATIZATION MODELPRODUCTIVITYPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLICPUBLIC DEBTPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC INVESTMENT IN INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC INVESTMENTSPUBLIC INVOLVEMENTPUBLIC PERCEPTIONSPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICESRAILRAIL COMPANIESRAIL SERVICESRENEGOTIATION PROCESSRETRENCHMENTRISK MANAGEMENTRISK MITIGATIONROADROAD NETWORKROUTESRURAL ROADSSAFETYSAFETY NETSSANITATIONSANITATION SECTORSOCIAL SERVICESSOUTH AMERICASOVEREIGN RISKSTOCKSSUBNATIONAL GOVERNMENTSSUBSIDIARYTARIFFS FOR WATERTAXTAX COLLECTIONTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETELECOMMUNICATIONSTRAILSTRANSPARENCYURBAN GROWTHURBAN POVERTYURBAN TRANSPORTURBANIZATIONUTILITIESWAGESWATER TARIFFSWATER UTILITIESWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6676-9
