Description

Encouraged by consultancy companies, think-tanks and international financial institutions (IFIs), more and more countries in central and eastern Europe (CEE) are undertaking public infrastructure projects using publicprivate partnership (PPP) arrangements. Most recently, European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso has commented on how the European Commission plans to tackle the economic crisis, citing a package of measures that includes the “need to find innovative funding for a wide range of transport, energy and high technology networks which can provide jobs in the short-term and also contribute to sustainable growth in the long-term. A better use of public-private partnerships is one way forward.”
