In view of the large size, huge cost and complexity of infrastructure projects, I would urge banks and other financial institutions to build the requisite legal and technical capacities to evaluate the value for money of PPPs relative to traditional asset classes.
This will assist in identifying the potential risks and the risk mitigation to be put in place in advance before the commitments are undertaken. I take that the engagement you will have for the next two days will be an on-going conversation and the research work arising from this conference’s theme will inform future research in the area.
