Titre : History RePPPeated : How public private partnerships are failing Type de document : document électronique Editeur : Eurodad Année de publication : Sept 2018 Autre Editeur : Heinrich-Böll Stiftung Importance : 44 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Accords commerciaux Tags : Partenariat Public Privé Europe Index. décimale : 03.02 Accords Commerciaux Résumé : Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are increasingly being promoted as the solution to the shortfall in financing needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Economic infrastructure, such as railways, roads, airports and ports, but also key services such as health, education, water and electricity are being delivered through PPPs in both the global north and south.
Although the involvement of the private sector in public service provision is not new, there is currently keen political interest in PPPs as an important way to leverage private finance. Donor governments and financial institutions, such as the World Bank Group (WBG) and other multilateral development banks (MDBs), have set up multiple initiatives to promote changes in national regulatory frameworks to allow for PPPs, as well as to provide advice and finance for PPP projects.
Since 2004 there has been a rapid growth in the amount of money invested in PPPs in the developing world. Although the trend has been volatile since 2012, efforts by MDBs to leverage private finance in both emerging and low-income economies have continued — for example, through the “Cascade” approach developed by the WBG, whereby the use of private finance is prioritised over public or concessional finance. This indicates a more determined push to reduce the risk so private investors come in.
Many projects have been procured as PPPs simply to circumvent budget constraints and to postpone the recording of fiscal costs. Some accounting practices allow governments to keep the cost of the project and its contingent liabilities “off balance sheet”. This ends up exposing public finances to excessive fiscal risks. Current austerity measures and orthodox policy prescriptions that encourage a low fiscal deficit also create a perverse incentive in favour of PPPs.
This report gives an in-depth, evidence-based analysis of the impact of 10 PPP projects that have taken place across four continents, in both developed and developing countries. These case studies build on research conducted by civil society experts in recent years and have been written by the people who often work with and around the communities affected by these projects.En ligne : https://eurodad.org/Entries/view/1546956/2018/10/03/History-RePPPeated-How-publi [...] Format de la ressource électronique : https://eurodad.org/files/pdf/5bb62e3f40e25.pdf History RePPPeated : How public private partnerships are failing [document électronique] . - [S.l.] : Eurodad : [S.l.] : Heinrich-Böll Stiftung, Sept 2018 . - 44 p.

Titre : Lessons from the Mai : Unctad Series on issues in international investment agreements Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : UNCTAD, Auteur Editeur : United Nations Année de publication : 1999 Collection : United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Importance : 44 p.

Accords commerciauxTags : Commerce international Développement économique Economie mondiale Coopération internationale Index. décimale : 03.02 Accords Commerciaux Résumé : This paper considers the factors that contributed to the decision of the members of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to discontinue the negotiations on the Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI), and draws lessons that could be of use for future negotiations of international
investment agreements (IIAs). The MAI negotiations, especially in the latter stages, attracted considerable attention in the public and private sectors, as well as civil society. These discussions are likely to have an effect on future negotiations of IIAs and, therefore, the paper aims to enhance the understanding of the issues involved in, and the lessons from, the MAI negotiations. The MAI negotiations set out to provide high standards for the liberalization of investment regimes and investment protection between the OECD member countries and, eventually, other interested non-member States. While the detailed and extensive exchange of views that took place in the negotiations pointed to a convergence of views on a number of substantive areas, various outstanding issues remained at the time the negotiations were suspended.
