Overview: The past decade has seen a wave of liberalization and privatization of infrastructure activities in developing countries. By the end of the 1990s the private sector had become an important financier and long-term operator of infrastructure activities?in water, transport, energy, and telecommunications?in those economies. In 1990-98 it had undertaken the operating or construction risk (or both) of about 1,700 infrastructure projects in developing countries. Those projects involved investments of almost US$500 billion. The energy sector, which in this analysis covers electricity and natural gas transmission and distribution, has been at the center of the liberalization and privatization activity.
