16 Methodological notes on the PPI Database Data are reported on the basis of commitments, not disbursements. The database includes only projects that have reached financial or contractual closure. For management and lease contracts, a contract authorizing the commencement of management or lease service must exist. For concessions and greenfield projects, financial closure is defined as the existence of a legally binding commitment of equity holders or debt financiers to provide or mobilize funding for the project. The funding must account for a significant part of the project cost, securing the construction of the facility. For divestitures, the equity holders must have a legally binding commitment to acquire the assets of the facility. Investments in infrastructure projects are classified as one of two types: Investment in physical assets. The total cost of developing or expanding the facility during the contract period is entered as investment data in the year of financial closure. Privately run telecom projects and energy utilities are exceptions. For these, annual investments in facility expansion are entered in the year of the investment when information is publicly available. Payments to the government—expenditures on government assets such as state-owned enterprises or rights to provide services in a specific area or to use radio spectrum. These include divestiture revenues, license fees, and canon payments. Where divestitures are phased, the investments are recorded in the years in which the transactions take place.
