The Relationship between Financial Development and Private Investment Commitments in Energy Projects
This paper investigates the extent to which the level of development of countryi¯s financial sector draws private participation in energy projectsi¯ financing in a 1990-2007 dataset on 56 developing countries. We find that a financial sector that offers proper financing and risk-mitigating instruments indeed contributes to improving private participation. Macroeconomic development and stability and greater energy needs are also found to be significant determinants of a countryi¯s appeal to private investors. While country risk dampens investorsi¯ will to participate in energy projects, higher interest rate and exchange rate risk do not seem to divert them away.
