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.
