Public-private partnerships
 Importance of PPPs for the implementation of infrastructure
projects in a time of financial constraints
 New Public-Private Partnership Act, into effect as of 1 January 2013,
aiming at:
 ensuring the development of high quality and affordable services of
general interest by achieving better value for public money invested
 allowing the promotion of private investment in construction,
maintenance and management of facilities for technical and social
infrastructure and in the pursuit of public interest
