\"\"<\/a>India recorded a 10-year low in investments in public-private sector in the year 2015, adding to contraction that pulled down the global investment to below its five-year average of $124.1 billion, the World Bank has said.<\/p>\n

In its latest annual report, the World Bank said global investment in 2015 decreased to $111.6 billion, below the five-year average of $124.1 billion from 2010 to 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis contraction resulted from lower investments in Brazil, China and India,\u201d the World Bank said on Monday in its latest report on Private Participation in Infrastructure Database.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia recorded a 10-year low in investments, as only six road projects \u2014 usually a rich source of PPI over the past 10 years – reached financial closure,\u201d the World Bank said.<\/p>\n

In South Asia, there were 43 deals for a combined total of $5.6 billion that closed in the region, representing 5 per cent of the total investment \u2014 a decline of 82 per cent from the five-year average of $30.5 billion.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsistent with historical trends, India generated a majority of the projects (36 out of 43); Pakistan had four; Nepal, two; and Bangladesh, one. Notably, 26 of the 36 projects in India, amounting to $2.0 billion, targeted renewable energy, while all of Pakistan\u2019s projects, totalling $749.9 million, solely focussed on renewables,\u201d the Bank said.<\/p>\n

Solar energy investments climbed 72 per cent higher than the last five year average, while renewables attracted nearly two-thirds of investments with private participation, it said.<\/p>\n

Global private infrastructure investment in 2015 mostly remained steady at $111.6 billion when compared to the previous year, it said.<\/p>\n

Among the most notable, commitments in Brazil were only $4.5 billion in 2015 \u2014 a sharp decline from $47.2 billion the previous year, reversing a trend of growing investments, it said.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestment in China also fell significantly below its 5-, 10-, and 20-year averages, as the average transaction dropped to $63 million,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

By number of projects, however, these three historical heavyweights took the lead, with 131 of the 300 global deals, or 44 per cent of all projects.<\/p>\n

Still their combined investment of $11.6 billion only made up 10 per cent of the global total, compared to 54 per cent in 2014, which was also the annual average over the previous four years.<\/p>\n

According to the World Bank, global private infrastructure investment in 2015, though on par with the previous year, was 10 per cent lower than the previous five-year average because of dwindling commitments in China, Brazil, and India.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe data finds that investments in other emerging economies increased rapidly to $99.9 billion, representing a 92 per cent year-over-year increase,\u201d said Clive Harris, Practice Manager, Public-Private Partnerships, World Bank Group.<\/p>\n
