PROJECT FINANCE INITIATIVE andPUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Simon Par Keeling,Société Générale Paris
Public Private Partnerships • Project Finance Initiative / Public Private Partnership (PPPs) is a partnership between the public sector and the private sector for the purpose of delivering a project or a service traditionally provided by the public sector • The overall aim of PPPs is to structure the relationship between the public sector and the private sector, so that the risks are borne by those best able to manage them • Increased value is achieved for public services through the exploitation of private sector skills and competencies • Transfer of appropriate level of risks and responsibility • But, government maintains control where appropriate (e.g. regulation, transport policy)
Public Private Partnerships in Europe • PPPS are increasingly being seen as an attractive approach to the provision of infrastructure projects and services across Europe • An ever increasing number of countries are embarking upon PPP programmes (Greece, Ireland, Finland, Italy…) that will lead to a significant redefinition in the role of the public sector in the financing and provision of public services
