An efficient network is vital for a developing, expanding economy. This requires investment in transport infrastructure and management. But with publicly funded programs facing scrutiny, your sector needs to find alternative procurement models, while ensuring existing asset bases.

Interest is increasing in private finance initiatives that attract investment from pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and infrastructure groups or funds. This looks to be the way forward for many countries, with knock-on implications for transport infrastructure users in the future. Private financing is widely recognized as a factor of technical innovation and economic efficiency. 

PPP/P3, BOTs and the like differ from concession-type arrangements as the private party does not bear the demand risk, which is particularly appropriate for making transportation projects bankable. To navigate these issues you require legal support from a firm that understands your needs and the rapid changes taking place in your sector.
