Table 16, which presents the distribution of PPI projects by their PPI-types during the 1991-

2015 period shows that some variations in PPI-type exist depending on the characteristics of

individual sectors. Table 16 shows that greenfield projects have been the most frequently used

PPI type in energy and telecom sectors whereas transport sector mostly adopted brownfield. On

the other hand, both energy and telecom sectors applied divestitures more frequently than

transport and water and sewerage sectors in both absolute and percentage terms. In addition,

water and sewerage sector used management and lease contracts more than any other sector

did. Among various PPI types, greenfield projects have been the most common form of PPI

investment in the transport sector with a share of 62.4% whereas 22.9% of the transport PPI

projects has been implemented through brownfield schemes. Divestitures andmanagement and

lease contracts had relatively lower shares, i.e. 10.6% and 4.2%, respectively.

The changes in the number of transport PPI projects by geographic regions in the 1991-2015

period are presented in Figure 26. In terms of using PPI models in transport projects, South Asia

- with an increasing trend in recent years - and Latin America and the Caribbean are the two

best performing regions whereas Middle East and North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa

remained at the bottom of the figure. Another interesting feature of the figure is its fluctuant

pattern as a result of regional and global crises which proves that PPI/PPP implementation has

been quite sensitive to economic stability.
