 More than 6,000 projects have been developed as worldwide PPPs in the
last twenty years.
 Latin America is the leading region with 30% of the number of projects
and 38% in investment (more than 845 billion dollars).
 The most dominant worldwide projects are in energy sector; however
telecommunications have the highest investments.

Annual Investment by Sector
and Country
Private Brazilian PPP investments have focused mainly on energy and telecommunications. In
Mexico the restrictions on private participation in energy had limited the possibilities to
develop PPPs (no longer the case because of recent reforms); therefore, the main sector has
been telecommunications, while transportation has gotten around 1.4 billion dollars per year
on private investment to develop PPPs.

3.- Why our countries require PPPs

Latin American countries in general have been significantly lagging behind in
global competitiveness.

The countries of the region require to redouble investment efforts, particularly
in infrastructure.

The historical resources of governments to deal with the backlog are limited
and it is urgent to advance development.

In addition, there are delays in social issues that, if not addressed, endanger
the social structure, to where it would be necessary to direct public budgets.

Private investments in infrastructure projects, while facilitating appropriate risk
distribution can be very attractive.

Infrastructure/competitiveness

Note the large gap between Latin American countries in comparison with South East
Asia.

Chile stands out in private investment because of (due to) retirement saving fund
systems, which occupies a position similar to those of China and Thailand

LA Countries have assigned low in
infrastructure investments as GDP%.
Great Challenges
• Latin American countries have faced the
challenge of insufficient financial resources to
expand its infrastructure and institutional
weakness to design, prepare, implement and
supervise projects.
Great challenges to do more with
less
Infrastructure investment faces the great challenge of
doing more with less - which can only be achieved by:
Selecting projects better.
Evaluating with improved methods of Cost-Benefit
Analysis.
Preparing projects better and in a sustainable
environment.
Choosing best methods of procurement (e.g. public vs.
PPPs).
Performing them with zero tolerance to corruption.
