This paper documents the trends in
infrastructure in major Latin American economies over the
last quarter century. Drawing from an expanded and updated
data set, the paper sheds light on the region's
infrastructure performance along four major dimensions.
First, the paper documents the trends in the quantity of
Latin America's infrastructure assets, using a
comparative cross-regional perspective. Second, the paper
presents a battery of indicators of the quality of
infrastructure services, taking the same comparative
perspective. Third, the paper reviews Latin America's
performance in terms of the universality of access to
infrastructure services. Lastly, the paper offers a detailed
account of the trends in infrastructure investment in Latin
America's six major economies since 1980, disaggregated
by both sector of origin (public and private) and
destination (power, transport and telecommunications).
