Infrastructure
Private investment commitments in infrastructure projects in developing countries are growing, especially in transport, telecom and water. By region, Europe and Central Asia leads the way, followed by Latin America, East Asia and South Asia. Developing country investors have emerged as a major source of finance for infrastructure projects in the developing world, according to UNCTAD’s 2008 World Investment Report. With an estimated US$465 billion a year in infrastructure investment needed in the developing world through 2010, there remains the challenge to attract more such investment to meet the shortfall which governments alone cannot fill. |
