- Privatisation has been active in Africa, South America and the countries of the former Eastern Europe and the CIS

- While privatisation in water has continued, there have been more cancellations of concessions or withdrawals by private operators, with a rising streak of political activism opposing water privatisation, with a marked trend in Africa and South America

- An aggressive private utility investment industry has emerged in Russia which has entered into a number of contracts with Russian vodokanals in the last two years
