It highlights recovery signals since COVID-19 disruptions, with investment levels partially returning toward pre-pandemic patterns. The report details regional shifts, investment concentration, and country-level leadership, including growth in Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe and Central Asia, and East Asia and the Pacific, alongside declines in Middle East and North Africa. It emphasizes the need for green, resilient, and inclusive infrastructure strategies and clarifies database scope limits.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nPrivate Participation in Infrastructure (PPI)  \nHalf Year (H1) Report  \nAcknowledgement & Disclaimer  \nThis report was prepared by a team comprising Deblina Saha (Task Team Leader), Seong Ho Hong, Teshura Nair, and Apala Bhattacharya, with editorial inputs by Luba Vangelova and design inputs by Pablo Alfaro Chavez.

This report describes Private Participation in infrastructure) (PPi) as indicated in the Private Participation in infrastructure Database. The database records investment information for infrastructure projects in low-and middle-income countries globally. The PPi Database represents the best efforts of a research team to compile publicly available information, and should not be seen as a fully comprehensive resource. Some projects—particularly those involving local and small-scale operators—tend to be omitted because they are usually not reported by major news sources, databases, government websites, and other sources used by the PPi Projects database staff.  \nTable of Contents  \nForeword 1  \n2021 Key Highlights 2  \nExecutive Summary 4  \nOverview 5  \nGeographic Spread 9  \nLatin America and the Caribbean 9  \nEast Asia and the Pacific 10  \nEurope and Central Asia 11  \nSub-Saharan Africa 12  \nSouth Asia 12  \nMiddle East and North Africa 12  \nInvestment in International Development Association (IDA) Countries 13  \nTransport 15  \nEnergy 16  \nWater and Sanitation 18  \nMunicipal Solid Waste 18  \nFinancing Trends 19  \nDevelopment and Export Finance Institution Support 19  \nDEFI Guarantees 20  \nAppendix A: DEFI Agencies that Supported Projects in the first half of 2021 21  \n2021 HALF YEAR (H1) REPORT  \nForeword  \nThis year’s Private Participation in infrastructure1 first half-year (H1) report shows clear signs of recovery in infrastructure investment since the first wave of the pandemic. in 2020, COViD-19 brought the infrastructure sector to a near standstill, with investment levels at historic lows since the inception of the PPi database. Although the pandemic continues to cause global disruption, investment levels are partially returning to pre-pandemic levels in many countries, indicating that the infrastructure business is slowly adopting to a new normal amidst the pandemic.  \nAs countries plan their recoveries, including the use of infrastructure spending to stimulate post COViD-19 economies, it is important for countries to ‘build back better’ and ensure that proposed new infrastructure investments are green, resilient, and inclusive.  \nWhile the demand for infrastructure is now higher than ever, many governments are facing severe fiscal constraints as a result of the significant respources that have been spent by governments on trying to mitigate the substantial economic and social impacts of the pandemic. These fiscal constraints mean that governments will have to increasingly rely on private sector investment to help finance infrastructure development.  \nHowever, at the same time there is still a lot of uncertainty amongst private sponsors and financiers given the uncertain macroeconomic outlook and, as such, there has been a notable shift in investment towards markets that are traditionally ‘safer’ and countries that have had more success in combatting the pandemic.
