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.
Our CEO has contributed an article to the G20 India: The 2023 New Delhi Summit publication, alongside articles by country leaders, heads of international organisations, and other experts.
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.
The GI Hub has today published Infrastructure Monitor 2023. This year’s edition reveals the mixed state of private investment in infrastructure, where positive trends like strong investment, growing use of sustainable finance, and resilient financial performance exist alongside challenges like low levels of capital raised and persistent disparities between high-income countries and other countries.
InfraTracker is an open access tool that shows how much governments invest in infrastructure, and how they allocate this investment. It is the first tool of its kind and scale to be developed with the cooperation of G20 governments.
Public investment is 83% of all investment in infrastructure, and lack of data about how this investment is prioritised and allocated impedes private participation and investment. The GI Hub’s InfraTracker is the first annual tracker of public investment in infrastructure for the G20. This article delves into how we estimate public investment priorities, and why doing so isn’t as straightforward as it may seem.
