This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The countries of central and eastern Europe, that have become members of the Council of Europe, have infrastructure deficits that cannot be overcome with public funds. This study shows that public -private partnerships (PPP) can be a suitable tool for carrying our spatial development measures. They are not however as substitute for efficient administration at local and regional levels. The purpose of this study is to underpin the Guiding Principles for Sustainable Spatial Development of the European Continent, which were adopted at the 12th session of the European Conference of Ministers responsible for Regional Planning of the Council of Europe member States (CEMAT), held in Hanover in September 2000.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of the huge infrastructure needs of the countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and permanent calls for increased infrastructure investments by public parties, this thesis develops four hypotheses to empirically examine which barriers hinder the investment flows of private institutional investors in infrastructure assets in the region. The empirical results reveal that an unstable regulatory environment characterised by the danger of despotic interventions by governments, a lack of reliable governance measures to control indirect investments as well as the non-availability of suitable investment vehicles arising from rather poor risk/return characteristics and high fees all hinder private institutional investors in allocating capital to infrastructure assets in the CEE region. Based on these findings, suggestions for how the identified barriers could be tackled are outlined.

Book excerpt: An important obstacle to achieving environmental goals has been the failure to adequately address associated financial issues, such as minimising the costs involved and matching costs with available resources. This publication presents a method for implementing financing strategies for investment-heavy environmental infrastructure projects, such as urban water supplies or wastewater collection and treatment. These strategies, supported by the FEASIBLE computer model, were developed in several countries of eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA), in EU accession countries and China.

Download or read book Funding and Financing Transport Infrastructure written by Athena Roumboutsos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to enhance understanding of the impacts of project setup and its implementation environment on project performance by leveraging information from the study of a rich set of European transport infrastructure project cases. It puts forward a system’s view of project delivery and aims to serve as a strategic tool for decision makers and practitioners. The proposed approach is not limited to specific stakeholder views. On the contrary, it allows stakeholders to formulate their own strategies based on an holistic set of potential implementation scenarios. Furthermore, by including cases of projects that have been influenced by the recent financial crisis, the book aims to capitalise on experiences and provide guidelines as to the design and implementation of resilient projects delivered both through traditional as well as Public Private Partnership (PPP) models. Finally, the book proposes a new Transport Infrastructure Resilience Indicator and a corresponding project rating system that can be assessed with an eye to the future, ultimately aiming to support the successful delivery of transport infrastructure projects for all stakeholders involved.

Download or read book Resource Financed Infrastructure written by Håvard Halland and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-09 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, resource-rich developing countries have been using their natural resources as collateral to access sources of finance for investment, countervailing the barriers they face when accessing conventional bank lending and capital markets. One of the financing models that have emerged as a result is the Resource Financed Infrastructure (RFI) model, a derivation of previous oil-backed lending models pioneered by several Western banks in Africa. Under a Resource Financed Infrastructure (RFI) arrangement, a loan for current infrastructure construction is securitized against the net present value of a future revenue stream from oil or mineral extraction. The model has been applied in several African countries, for a cumulative contract value of approximately $30 billion, according to publically available sources. This report, consisting of a study prepared by global project finance specialists Hunton & Williams LLP and comments from six internationally reputed economists and policy makers, provides an analytical discussion of resource-financed infrastructure (RFI) contracting from a project finance perspective. The report is meant as a forum for in-depth discussion and as a basis for further research into RFIs role, risks, and potential, without any intention to present a World Banksupported view on RFI contracting. It is motivated by the conviction that if countries are to continue to either seek RFI or receive unsolicited RFI proposals, there is an onus on public officials to discern bad deals from good, to judge unavoidable trade-offs, and to act accordingly. The report aims to provide a basis for developing insights on how RFI deals can be made subject to the same degree of public policy scrutiny as any other instrument through which a government of a low- or lower-middle-income country might seek to mobilize development finance.
