Private Participation in Infrastructure (PPI) investment in H1 2018, which stood at USD 43.5billion across 164 projects, marked an increase of seven percent from H1 2017 levels. ... See More + It is still 13 percent lower than the 10-year H1 average investment level of USD 49.9 billion. The increase over H1 2017 levels can be attributed to a rise in the number of road projects in China and Turkey, and an increase in investments in Vietnam, India, and South Africa. Number of projects also rose by six percent, from 154 in H1 2017 to 164 in H1 2018. Investments in more countries and smaller projects. H1 2018 saw investments across 34 countries, which was higher than the five-year average of 30 countries, and similar to the number of countries with investment commitments in H1 2017 (35 countries). An increase in median project size and a decrease in average project size compared to 2017 indicates reduced investments in larger projects and more in smaller ones. EAP continued to dominate global investments, and Europe and Central Asia (ECA) experienced a revival. EAP garnered 40 percent of global PPI investments in H1 2018, with investments totaling USD 17.3 billion (a 27-percent increase from H1 2017). ECA saw a recovery in H1 2018, led by Turkey and Russia, as it received USD 10.2 billion worth of investments, which is 88 percent higher thanfull-year 2017 investments. LAC, the former champion of PPI investments, dropped to third placeand garnered the lowest share ever in the past 10 years. MENA’s share also dropped, while SSA’s share increased.  See Less -

In 2017, PPI investments in energy stood at USD 51.9 billion across 203 projects (compared to USD 46.8 billion across 183 projects in 2016), and accounted for more than half (56 percent) of the PPI investments across all four infrastructure sectors included in the PPI database—energy, water, transport and ICT. ... See More + Of these four, the energy sector has attracted the most private-sector participation. By dollar value, from 2008 to 2017, cumulative investments in the energy sector (conventional and renewable energy) accounted for approximately 59 percent of total PPI investments. Although the energy sector continued to be the predominant sector attracting private investments in 2017, because of increased investment in other sectors, the share of energy-sector investments decreased from 69 percent of all PPI investments in 2016 to 56 percent in 2017.Energy investments reached their peak in 2012, as private investors shrugged off the effects of the global financial crisis and pumped USD 89.6 billion into the sector. However, by 2015, private-sector investments in energy reached their lowest levels, at USD 38.5 billion, a trend largely accelerated by a steep drop in oil prices in 2014 and a subsequent decrease of investment in the conventional-energy sector. From 2015 to 2017, investments picked up gradually, with increasing investments in renewables.In terms of the number of projects, two-thirds of all projects (203 out of 304) in 2017 were in the energy sector. Interestingly, the number of energy projects as a percentage of all PPI projects fluctuated very little after 2014. On average, from 2008 to 2017, the PPI energy projects accounted for 69 percent of all PPI projects.  See Less -
