| description |
The private sector exits only a fraction
of private infrastructure projects before the contract ends.
Yet such cancellations can have a sustained impact on a
country's program of public-private partnerships,
reducing the private sector's confidence in the
government's commitment as well as the
government's confidence in the robustness and
"value for money" of these arrangements.
Econometric analysis shows that macroeconomic shocks nearly
double the cancellation rate. As today's global
financial crisis greatly increases the cost, and reduces the
availability, of project financing, the number of
cancellations could grow. That would have implications for
the role public-private partnerships can play in meeting the
infrastructure needs of developing countries. |
