Title: Private Infrastructure: Private Activity Fell by 30 Percent in 1999
Abstract: As liberalization and privatization policies have swept infrastructure activities in developing countries throughout the 1990s, the private sector has become an important financier and long-term operator. Analysis of projects in the PPI database shows that during 1990–99 the private sector undertook the operating or construction risk, or both, of more than 1,900 projects in developing countries, a total investment of almost US$580 billion.1 Of this amount, more than two-thirds went to facility construction, expansion, and modernization, and the remaining third went to the government as sale proceeds (divestiture revenues, license fees, or canon commitments).2
