Financing Arrangements in Public–Private Partnership

Public–private partnerships (PPPs) are collaborations between public bodies and private entities, structured legally for mutual benefit and geared toward managing state-interest projects over defined periods. Leveraging private capital and expertise, PPPs address global challenges such as ageing infrastructure and budget deficits. This chapter explores diverse financing arrangements within PPPs, assessing their implementation globally across developed and emerging economies. The chapter focuses on optimising financial structures, understanding associated risks, and evaluating variations in financing mechanisms across different economic contexts. The analysis deepens understanding of the financial frameworks supporting PPPs and contributes to the broader discourse on infrastructure development and public service provision.
