Ministry of Economy of Poland and World Bank Seminar on Legal, Economic and Implementation Issues in PPP Projects Screening of PPP Projectsfor Financial Feasibility César Queiroz, Ph.D. Road and Transport Infrastructure Consultant Warsaw, Poland, June 17 and 18, 2008
Presentation Outline • A brief history of PPP… • …and some modern examples • How do you know whether a PPP project can attract private investors? • Forms of private sector participation • Demonstration of the WB/PPIAF Toolkit for PPP in Highways
PPPs are not new! • Toll road at Wadesmill in Hertfordshire, UK, established in 1663 by Act of Parliament • 19th century concessions: toll roads, bridges, tunnels in US; railways in France; subway in London • Suez (1860) and Panama (1880) canals • Decline around 1930 (great depression) • Resurgence in the 1980s: collapse of the state-owned monopoly paradigm

Riverside Freeway, SR 91, CA • First fully automated toll road (free-flow system), 16-km long, opened on December 27, 1995 • Serves commuters on Riverside Freeway (SR 91), Orange County, south of Los Angeles • Original developer and operator: California Private Transportation Company • Achieved cash flow break-even in mid-1998 (can pay operating and debt expenses from revenues)

Toolkit for PPP in Highways The toolkit is structured under five headings and includes a library and interactive financial simulation model Available at the World Bank’s web site: www.worldbank.org/highways
How can PPP projects attract private investors? • Risks and profit must be competitive with other investment alternatives • Some usual indicators: Project Financial Internal Rate of Return (FIRR), Return on Equity (ROE), Debt Service Cover Ratio (DSCR), Loan Life Cover Ratio (LLCR) • The Toolkit Financial Simulation Model (an Excel file) is an excellent tool for scrutinizing PPP projects
Debt Service Cover Ratio (DSCR) where i = number of tranches, 1≤ i ≤3 n = current year (Debt Service) i,n = (Principal) i,n + (Interest) i,n CAFDS= Cash Available for Debt Service
Return on Equity (ROE) where: Equity injectedi is the equity provided by the sponsors in year i Dividendsi are the dividends distributed to shareholders in year i
Minimum Toll Rate to Attract Private Investment for a PPP Project $/km 5,000 vpd 10,000 vpd 15,000 vpd 20,000 vpd Construction cost, $ million/km
Concession term: 20 yrs Construction Cost: $1mil/km to $5mil/km Operation cost: $500,000/km/yr Equity: 14% Subsidies: 0 Interest rate: 5%/yr Grace period: 4 yrs Repayment period: 14 years Discount rate: 10% Initial traffic: 5,000 vpd to 20,000 vpd Traffic growth: 3% Inflation: 6% Tax: 18% IRR ≥ 12% ROE ≥ 16% LLCR ≥ 1.0 DSCR ≥ 1.0 Basic Assumptions Used to Estimate the Minimum Toll Rate to Attract Private Investors for a PPP Project
