South Asia

The South Asia region raised $14 billion from 123 transactions between 2000 and 2006, representing 5 percent of the total for all developing countries. India accounted for 52 percent of regional value, and Pakistan for 46 percent. Over half of South Asia's regional value came from infrastructure, with telecommunications generating nearly $5 billion -- 70 percent of the sector's total and 36 percent of the region's total value.
