Summary: The report looks at how the private infrastructure paradigm played out in developing countries between 1990-2001, examining trends globally, and in particular sectors, and regions. It identifies the involvement of the private sector in financing, and operations of infrastructure, through well-designed arrangements for private participation, which allows commercial discipline to be introduced in the delivery of services, therefore improving efficiency and lowering costs. Notwithstanding, experience in 1990-2001 shows too, that private participation in infrastructure is not immune from broader economic shocks. Such stresses were greatest for services that involved financing commitments in foreign currency, yet, depended on revenues in local currency. http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/540861468767086821/Private-participation-in-infrastructure-trends-in-developing-countries-in-1990-2001
