Where and How Can PPP help? • In While PPPs are not a panacea, experience in a number of countries, both in the developing and developed worlds, have shown that well structured PPPs can help a country expand its transport infrastructure without overburdening its budget
Some Policy Implications • Transport infrastructure is essential for economic development, • …then sufficient resources should be made available to maintain and expand a country’s transport infrastructure. • Despite relative slowdown, PPPs remain an attractive option for many governments
