This indicator is also available at the World Development Indicators at https://databank.worldbank.org/reports.aspx?source=world-development-indicators.
The existing PPI database includes data on 6,400 projects over 25 years (1990-2016), with over 50 variables per project. It covers projects in 139 low and middle-income countries as classified by the World Bank. The list of countries is reviewed every five years in order to maintain continuity in the data.
