7 Global and sample data
As part of the process of selecting projects which to investigate for this research, a Master Database of PPPs (Master Database) was created by combing existing databases available online. This was completed using the criteria that the projects were in economic infrastructure and reached financial close between 2005 and 2015. The process followed is described in the Methodology. Presented below is some analysis from the Master Database.
