In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), around three-quarters of private investment in infrastructure is conducted in foreign currencies, most commonly USD, and only a quarter in local currencies. Brazil dominates local currency transactions in LMICs and has driven a trend increase in the share of local currency transactions in LMIC investment since 2016.

Global Infrastructure Outlook allows you to explore the annual infrastructure trends, needs and gaps up to 2040 for 7 sectors, 56 countries, 5 regions and the world total.
Non-private institutions, such as multilateral development banks, play a critical role in catalyzing private infrastructure investment in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). One avenue of support is through the direct co-financing of projects, with over half (55%) of total LMIC investment involving non-private co-financing in 2022. However, the share of LMIC investment financed by the private sector alone has been increasing over time. This has been driven by the renewables sector, reflecting increasing investor confidence in a maturing market as well as relatively smaller project sizes. In general, private sector investors are less likely to require co-financing support from non-private entities in larger LMIC markets, such as Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa.
In this article, we explain the regulatory barriers that face the infrastructure asset class and that discourage the uptake of commonly used credit-risk mitigation instruments, and how we are working toward addressing these challenges.

UN ESCAP supports governments in Asia-Pacific in implementing measures to efficiently involve the private sector in infrastructure development.
The PPP Contract Management Tool provides practical guidance to government officials responsible for managing public-private partnership (PPP) contracts and concession contracts during construction and operations, based on extensive data and real-life case studies.
With a growing global focus on attracting private sector investment into infrastructure and utilising the public-private partnership (PPP) model, it is crucial that governments focus on the entire duration of a PPP contract. Efforts need to extend beyond ‘achieving financial close’ and beginning construction or ‘cutting the ribbon’ for commencement of services.
By their very nature as long-term large infrastructure projects, public-private partnership (PPP) projects involve a vast array of interconnecting relationships. Core to any PPP project is the long-term contractual relationship between the government’s procuring authority and the private party (the project company). This is one of many relationships that will affect the success of a PPP.
The PFRAM, developed by the IMF and the World Bank, is an analytical tool to assess the potential fiscal costs and risks arising from PPP projects.
