  2. Presentation Outline • Developing and developed countries • Some measures of infrastructure provision • Infrastructure indicators and economic development • How private financing can help • Some policy implications

  3. Developing and Developed Countries • Developing countries include low- and middle-income economies • Developed (advanced, industrial, rich) countries denote high-income economies

  4. Classification of Economies Economies GNI per capita Low-income $875 or less Middle-Income $876 to $10,725 Lower $876 to $3,465 Upper $3,466 to $10,725 High-income $10,726 or more http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/DATASTATISTICS/0,,contentMDK:20420458~menuPK:64133156~pagePK:64133150~piPK:64133175~theSitePK:239419,00.html

  7. Extent and condition of road infrastructure in developed and developing countries

  8. Some Measures of Infrastructure • Paved road density (PRD), in km per million persons • Electricity-generating capacity (ELE), in thousands of kilowatts per million persons • Number of telephone connections per million population (TEL) • Railroad tracks (RWY), in km per million population

  9. Average Measures of Infrastructure Economies PRD ELE TEL RWY (km/mil pop) (1,000’s of (# of connec. (km/mil kw/mil pop) /mil pop) pop) Low-income 410 70 7,920 70 Lower-middle 610 190 46,760 190 Income Upper-middle 1,950 560 154,100 330 Income High-income 10,150 2,070 673,000 840

  11. Where and How Can PPP help? • In While PPPs are not a panacea, experience in a number of countries, both in the developing and developed worlds, have shown that well structured PPPs can help a country expand its transport infrastructure without overburdening its budget

  12. Some Policy Implications • Transport infrastructure is essential for economic development, • …then sufficient resources should be made available to maintain and expand a country’s transport infrastructure. • Despite relative slowdown, PPPs remain an attractive option for many governments
