Telecommunications
Considerable progress has been made in privatizing, restructuring, and introducing competition into the telecommunication industry. In 1991, telecommunications in some 150 countries were state-owned, but by 2003 the number had fallen to 79.

Power
In developing countries, progress has been made in privatizing and diversifying generating capacity. In a survey of 52 developing countries having a generating capacity of between 29 megawatts (Gambia) and 318 gigawatts (China), 31 percent had completed, or were near completing, the privatization of state-owned power utilities.

Transportation
The majority of financing has been for bridges, tunnels, toll roads, and railways, as well as some major ports and airports. According to the World Bank’s PPI Database, from 1990 to 2002, private participation in transport projects took place in 66 developing countries, encompassing 704 projects and absorbing $120 billion in capital.

Water and Sanitation
Before 1990, the sector relied almost entirely on government financing to meet operating costs and investment requisite. However, with the introduction of various forms of public-private partnership in project design, development, finance, production, and service provision, private participation in water and sanitation has grown.

Between 1990 and 2001, the private sector invested $40 billion in 203 water and sanitation projects in developing countries. Since 2001, over $250 billion has been raised internationally for water and sanitation projects.
