Our new data finds that private investment in developing-country infrastructure is rebounding from historic lows recorded in 2020. Commitments totaled $76.2 billion in 2021, a 49% increase from 2020. Although this recovery is a positive sign, daunting challenges remain. Overall commitments still lag 12% lower than the previous five-year average, an indicator that recovery from the deep recession triggered by COVID-19 is still underway.
