Since the mid-1990s, governments faced with limited financial resources turned their attention to PPPs in order to meet the demands of citizens expecting better public services. While it is still up for debate, PPPs are considered to deliver better value for money than the other alternatives. Let us hear and discuss how the decision-makers take the elements of affordability, value for money and fiscal risks into account and how PPPs are accounted for and treated in the national budget.
