Year-end statistics from 2016
In 2016, UN Development Business announced projects in over 170 countries. We published the most projects in Brazil, and top sectors in the country included construction, roadways and transportation. Opportunities in India, Bangladesh and Argentina also continued to dominate throughout the year, and Ukraine joined our Top 5 Project Countries list this year, with the energy sector being the most active. We have broken down the top sectors and countries from our database below.
