Public–Private Partnership Monitor


Book Description

The Government of Pakistan strongly supports public–private partnership (PPP) initiatives. From 1990 to 2019, Pakistan witnessed 108 financially closed PPP projects, with a total investment of approximately $28.4 billion. About 88% of these projects are in the energy sector, attracting more than $24.7billion, followed by investments in the port sector. In early 2021, Parliament approved the amendments to the 2017 PPP Law, enacting the Public Private Partnership Authority (Amendment) Act 2021. This further strengthens the enabling legal and regulatory framework for developing and implementing PPPs, thereby promoting private sector investment in public infrastructure and related services.







Mastering the Risky Business of Public-Private Partnerships in Infrastructure


Book Description

Investment in infrastructure can be a driving force of the economic recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of shrinking fiscal space. Public-private partnerships (PPP) bring a promise of efficiency when carefully designed and managed, to avoid creating unnecessary fiscal risks. But fiscal illusions prevent an understanding the sources of fiscal risks, which arise in all infrastructure projects, and that in PPPs present specific characteristics that need to be addressed. PPP contracts are also affected by implicit fiscal risks when they are poorly designed, particularly when a government signs a PPP contract for a project with no financial sustainability. This paper reviews the advantages and inconveniences of PPPs, discusses the fiscal illusions affecting them, identifies a diversity of fiscal risks, and presents the essentials of PPP fiscal risk management.




Realizing the Potential of Public–Private Partnerships to Advance Asia's Infrastructure Development


Book Description

This publication highlights how public–private partnerships (PPPs) can be effective to meet Asia's growing infrastructure needs. It shows how governments and their development partners can use PPPs to promote more inclusive and sustainable growth. The study finds that successful PPP projects are predicated on well-designed contracts, a stable economy, good governance and sound regulations, and a high level of institutional capacity to handle PPPs. It is the result of a collaboration between the Asian Development Bank, the Korea Development Institute, and other experts that supported the theme chapter "Sustaining Development through Public–Private Partnership" of the Asian Development Outlook 2017 Update.




Public–Private Partnership Monitor—Bangladesh


Book Description

This publication contains a detailed overview of Bangladesh’s public–private partnership (PPP) landscape, assesses its progress, and explains how well-structured deals can help climate-proof its infrastructure and maintain growth. Designed as a one-stop source of information on Bangladesh’s relatively mature PPP sector, it assesses over 500 qualitative and quantitative indicators, and shows how strengthening institutional frameworks has encouraged investments in core sectors such as ports, energy, and transportation. It explores how Bangladesh now needs to ramp up regulation and tighten contractual frameworks to generate more\ long-term financing and fill the funding gap it faces as demand for climate-resilient infrastructure rises.




Public–Private Partnership Monitor—Kazakhstan


Book Description

The Government of Kazakhstan considers public-private partnership (PPP) as an important source of infrastructure funding and service delivery; thus, it continues to improve the legal mechanisms of PPP, develop its institutional setup, and structure pilot projects. PPP has been employed at the central and local government levels to deliver economic and social infrastructure including education, healthcare, transport, power, housing, and public utilities. However, many of these projects are small-scale and short-term. Kazakhstan has adopted the Law on Concessions defining the concept of PPP and a separate PPP Law. The government has established a two-tier institutional structure to support the deployment of PPPs—on the national and the regional level. The most prominent of them are the PPP Center, acting as the adviser to the government, Turar Healthcare and Financial Center, assisting with project development.




Public–Private Partnership Monitor: Papua New Guinea


Book Description

The public-private partnership (PPP) market in Papua New Guinea is at a nascent stage having witnessed only six financially closed PPPs with an investment of $433 million, predominantly in the energy sector. The very few PPPs in the country stem from the lack of a robust PPP enabling framework, limited public sector capacities to design and manage PPPs, and constrained ability of the government to fund infrastructure development. Realizing the critical role of PPPs in helping achieve the country’s infrastructure investment target, the government is now implementing the PPP Act of 2014 and setting up PPP-enabling institutions.

Book Description
