Sommario/riassunto

The Philippines has led many of its East Asian neighbors in creating a policy environment that is conducive to private sector participation in infrastructure. Together with a strong commitment to generating results, this policy environment produced an impressive record of private sector transactions in a relatively short period of time. However, some problems remain. This report, prepared at the request of the Philippine Government, describes and assesses the current status and performance of key infrastructure sectors and the policy, regulatory, and institutional environment for involving the private sector in those sectors. Its purpose is to assist policymakers in framing future reform and development strategies for infrastructure and to assist potential private sector investors in assessing investment opportunities.
