5 Abstract Economic growth and development depend essentially on a country's ability to invest and make efficient and productive use of its resources. The role of the private sector is important here, both in terms of its contribution to the quantity of gross domestic investment and its ability to allocate and employ resources efficiently. Over the past two decades, a number of changes have occurred in the business environment for the private sector in the developing countries. Responding to these changes, private entrepreneurs have altered the level of their investment. The intention of this paper is to quantify the private investment fluctuations in thirty developing countries, and to describe the general trends. Annual private investment data was gathered and expressed both as a percentage of gross domestic product and as a percentage of gross domestic investment for the period Comparisons of the level of private investment as a percentage of GDP across countries indicate great variations in business climate and government attitudes towards the private sector. There are marked regional differences as well, which are documented and discussed in the paper. The direction of change in private investment is, however, fairly similar across countries. Average trends based on the thirty country sample confirm that private investment has been on the rise in recent years.

11 TRENDS IN PRIVATE INVESTMENT IN 30 DEVELOPING COUNTRIES Introduction During the 1980s there has been a shift in government thinking in developing countries from an emphasis on the public sector towards greater reliance on private enterprise. It is not easy to determine whether and to what extent this new thinking has been reflected in the allocation of resources between the public and the private sector. For example there is little evidence in the literature whether or not private sector investment has grown faster than public sector investment in developing countries. Yet, after several years of structural adjustment in many developing countries, the results should have begun to show in the statistics. An attempt is made in this paper to compile private investment data for the period and to show how the trends have evolved relative to public sector investment. Thirty countries 1 were selected which include most of the larger developing economies and some of the smaller LDCs. The sample countries are also aggregated into regional groupings, such as Latin America, East Asia, South Asia, and countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. The work is based on World Bank staff estimates. Methodology National accounts normally do not break down Gross Domestic Investment into its private and public sector components. "Private investment" is defined in this paper as the difference between total gross domestic investment (from national accounts) and consolidated public investment. Consolidated public investment data for each country were found mainly in World Bank Country Economic Memoranda, Public Investment Reviews, Public Expenditure Reviews, and other World Bank country reports. They reflect efforts by World Bank missions to compile 1 Argentina, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Uruguay, Venezuela, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
12 -2- public sector data. In a few countries where World Bank data are not available, appropriate country data were used. Among the data problems inherent in this method, the following can be readily identified: a) The emphasis is on fixed capital formation; wherever possible financial investment has been excluded. It is not always clear from the data, however, whether or not financial investment is included under "consolidated public investment" in a particular country. b) Changes in inventories are a part of the residual "private investment" in some countries but not in others. 2 Where changes in inventories are exduded, the total investment figure used is gross domestic fixed investment (GDFI) in all calculations, rather than gross domestic investment. c) In the official statistics, the treatment of state enterprises and corporations which are partially owned by the public sector is often unclear; presumably it varies from country to country. "Government" investment usually excludes state enterprise investments and other investments made outside the central government. Such investments are normally included under such headings as "energy", "industry", etc. but are not separated out from private investment in these sectors. This accounting procedure has created some difficulty in obtaining reliable public and private investment data. Where possible, we have clarified this in the Notes. d) Data for the 1970s are scarcer than for the 1980s. The main interest of the paper centers on the period of "structural adjustment", however, and country coverage for is quite comprehensive. Data for 1988 are available, at this time, only for a few countries, therefore regional aggregation is not representative of actual 1988 trends. 2 Changes in inventories are excluded in Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Hungary, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Uruguay, Venezuela and Zambia. Investment includes changes in inventories in Argentina, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Korea, Portugal and Sri Lanka.
13 - 3 - The paper presents the investment figures in terms of five ratios for each country. There are three ratios expressed as percentage of GDP: Gross Domestic Investment (GDI/GDP); Private Investment (Private I/GDP); and Public Investment (Public I/GDP); (see Table 1 for the ratios and Table 2 for the corresponding GDP figures). Two ratios are expressed as percentage of Gross Domestic Investment: Private Investment (Private I/GDI); and Public Investment (Public I/GDI); (see Table 3). All ratios are computed using local currency units at current prices. This comprehensive 30 country data set (Table 1-3) provides raw data for further analysis. These same five ratios are analyzed in Tables 4-9. Tables 4 & 5 are simple (non-weighted) averages of annual investment shares across countries. Table 4 (a and b) shows private and public investment trends for the 30 countries, while Table 5 (a, b, c, and d) shows regional trends. Simple averages are also calculated across the years : Table 6 (a and b) present the five ratios averaged over the whole period. Table 6b ranks countries in order of average private investment shares. Tables 7 & 8 show private investment shares for each of the countries in selected periods for a brief overview and cross country comparison of trends. The countries are ranked by the increase in private investment shares in recent years. Table 9 presents annual weighted averages of the five ratios for the 30 country sample (weighted by GDP, ). Developing Country Investment Trends It is apparent from Graphs 1 and 2 that, between 1970 and 1980, total investment was on the rise in developing countries, while in the 1980s it has declined. Private investment was substantially higher than public investment initially, but public investment has grown faster than private investment during the 1970s and early 1980s. Private investment rose, as a share of GDP, during the 1970s, it then declined, starting after the second oil shock. Public investment fell only later, after the onset of the debt crisis. Private investment seems to have begun to recover somewhat after reaching its low point around Overall, private investment has exceeded public investment throughout the 1970s and 80s (see also Chart 5).

15 - 5 - The annual investment data corresponding to the above two graphs are found in Table 4. They suggest that average total investment in the selected 30 developing countries increased from 18 percent of GDP in the early 1970s to a peak of about 23 percent of GDP in , and then dedined as a result of the debt crisis, and stabilized around 18.5 of GDP in On average ( ), private investment amounted to about 12 percent of GDP and public investment to about 9 percent of GDP. The most recent data suggest that private investment is still fairly low (10-11% of GDP), but that public investment was still somewhat higher in (8.5 % of GDP) than it had been during (6.8 % of GDP). The share of public investment in total investment increased steadily from 1970 to 1983, when public and private investment represented one-half each of the total. After 1983, private investment regained some of its lost share, reaching 55 % of total investment in 1987, but has not yet returned to its high levels of the early 1970s. Regional Trends Private investment has been higher than public investment throughout the period in East Asia and, to a lesser extent, in Latin America. In Latin America, as private investment declined and public investment rose, the two had equal shares by 1983, after which the former resumed its growth and the latter fell. In South Asia public investment has slightly exceeded private investment for the entire period under consideration. In the African countries in the sample, until 1980 private investment was higher than public investment. Then the share of public investment increased as private investment declined as a percent of GDP, to the point where over 60 percent of investment is now public -- the highest proportion of any region. In recent years private investment has averaged 9 percent of GDP in Latin America, 15 percent in East Asia, 8 percent in South Asia, and 6 percent in Africa.
16 -6 - Recent Country Trends Private investment, as percentage of GDP, reached a low point in most developing countries around Since then, private investment (as a % of GDP) has clearly risen in 19 out of the 30 countries, including most Latin American countries. Four countries had steady investment trends. Private investment (as a % of GDP) has, however, declined in four countries. For another three countries recent data is not available (Korea, Sri Lanka, Venezuela). Observe Table 7 and the country charts for a country by country breakdown of the trends from to Countries are listed below by the categories they fall into, "rising" versus "falling", and "steady": Rising private investment/gdp ratio: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Portugal, Thailand, Turkey, and Uruguay. See Table 7 for the growth over the two years. Falling private investment/gdp ratio: Bangladesh, Malaysia, Philippines, and Tunisia. Steady private investment/gdp ratio: Pakistan, Singapore, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. As for recent changes in the respective shares of private and public investment, private investment has gained in 19 countries, public investment in three, and there has been no change in the remaining five (see Table 8 for the percentage of increase from 1983 to 1987): Rising share of private investment: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Singapore, and Thailand. Rising share of public investment: Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Zambia. Steady shares of private and public investment: Kenya, Tunisia, Turkey, Uruguay, and Zimbabwe.
17 - 7 - Based on the above findings we can conclude that the long run trends of private and public investment as a percentage of GDP have been roughly similar. During the 1970s, total investment as a percentage of GDP increased steadily, but this was reversed in the eighties, and by the mid-eighties it fell to about the level of the early seventies. The private share in total investment is on average higher than public. The spread between these shares narrowed in the seventies and early eighties. However, after 1983 the share of private investment in total investment began to increase. Private investment as a percentage of GDP started rising in most developing countries around Finally, the data provide some insight into private sector reactions to expansion of public investment. The sample data include 31 episodes when public investment was increased by more than 0.5 percent of GDP annually over a 3-year moving average period. In 17 cases private investment as a percentage of GDP also grew, while in 14 cases it declined. The results are the same using a one year lag. The data do not support the hypothesis that rising public investment tends to discourage private investment -- a form of "crowding out" -- nor do they show consistent evidence of positive linkages between the two. Rather, the suggestion is that the direction of change will depend on country circumstances, including the state of private sector confidence.
