“Towards the end of the twentieth century, the trend that seemed to be emerging in many countries was towards a certain distribution of roles whereby transport operations were assigned to the private sphere and infrastructure to the public sphere. Over the past ten years, however, growth in the use of PPPs has signaled a significant change which completely redefines the issue of infrastructure funding…this presentation would suggest that the ‘private’ option can be more expensive for public finances than the ‘public’ option.
