Course objectives
Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) have become established as a proven procurement method for financing and delivering public infrastructure projects. By mid-2004, there totalled $115 billion of projects in development in Europe alone. Local funding has always been accessed for these projects, but the restructuring of the banking market, driven by Basel II and tougher EU accounting practices will open up the market to new opportunities for international providers.
The Project Finance for PPP Projects course delivers an in-depth training programme on project structuring and financing, by bringing the world's best PPP practices together in a case-driven, highly interactive format. The comprehensive range of case studies will provide a practical backdrop to the financing analysis of each type of PPP: Supply Contracts, Service Contracts, Management Contracts, Leasing, BOO, BOOT and Privatisation, and covers sectors including roads, tollways, hospitals, schools, bridges and prisons. Team assignments provide hands-on practice to ensure delegates develop the skills required to source the best funding and structure.

Case Studies:PICKO-PIMAC/KDI, South KoreaKorea has set in place probably the most aggressive government co-spend among all the PPP programs. See which sectors and what programs are in mind.
Philippines BOT LawSee why this simple Act spawned sufficient private-sector investment to
take the country from a chronic power supply deficit to a power-supply surplus in less than 10 years. The BOT conditions allow the government to repurchase the assets if not needed of if other plans/expansions emerge.
Partnerships VictoriaAlthough originally closely aligned to the UK PFI model, Partnerships Victoria is
the Australian leader, by far. What new policies and strategies have been developed especially in the social services arena?

Case Studies: Noida Bridge, IndiaIndia’s first BOT toll bridge brought out some world-leading financial structures
from IL&FS and IDFC. It also mobilized India’s 10(23)G tax concession in three
ways to the benefit of investors and financiers .See the full risk profile
analysed from Richard Tinsley’s latest book, Project Finance in Asia: Practical
Case Studies, published by Euromoney Books in 2002.
N3 Tollway, South AfricaThis Buy-Build-Maintain-Transfer deal has an in-built springing capex requirement for
a tunnel in year 10-14 of the concession, depending on the traffic performance. The
government’s debt was repaid by the concessionaire. Why were the governments’ and the banks’ traffic studies so poorly conceived and what solution was brought to bear?

made up for the devaluation difference – or did it? This is one of the best traffic
outcomes of all tollroad bond issues.
Greenwich Hospital, UKThis landmark CPI indexed-linked issue set the pace for UK PFI hospital
financings. How were the facilitiesmanagement aspects handled?
Subic Bay Power (144A), PhilippinesThe genius of this 15-year power BOT notes issue is that it is unrated; there is
no political-risk coverage; and there is no residual/tail. Learn how the notes/bond investors accepted the deal without a rating in a country rescheduling its sovereign debt.

South Africa
Case Studies: Penang Bridge (OMT)MalaysiaIn this, the fifth-longest bridge in the world, the government specifically retains
the right to re-nationalise the bridge as part of its planning for a second crossing
later in the concession life. The concession price included the existing debt level which acts as a compensation cap for this re-nationalisation. The toll also has a split above a threshold level with the concessionaire. This bridge was funded by Islamic bonds.
Manguang Prison, South AfricaThe project received its approval based on the comparisons with other (overcrowded) prisons. The prison is so successful, that prisoners re-offend so that they don’t get transferred there
Mildura Base HospitalSome 230 quality criteria were imposed on this elaborate PPP concession, which included the provision of clinical services. Why was the preferred consortium ‘fired’ during the last-minute negotiations.

technologies to an existing port by way of
the first BOMT concession which equipped the port for Post-Panamax container traffic. How important was the shipping Alliance to the credit assessment? How were FX changes handled during the Asian currency crisis? What is the political resolve for the other government supports?
INDEPENDENT REVIEWS
Case Studies: Standard & PoorsIf any study can be labelled ‘landmark’ then this study of 32 tollroads to as certain the start-up traffic and ramp-up levels is the most significant in the history of toll-road financings. Even better, the results are consistent with an earlier study of 14 toll-roads by JPMorgan.

Case Studies: Highway 407, CanadaHow did Value Engineering contribute so much to this 2-step program? What tactics were adopted by the Canadian Provincial authority to maximise their return/value?
GSZ East Superhighway, ChinaThis project would have failed without the real-estate component. How was the significant overrun handled? Under what circumstances could the Sponsor refinance its equity by way of a 144A subordinated bond? A59 Tollway, Netherlands This Design-Build-Finance- maintain (DBFM) looks for a 14% savings over the Public Sector Comparator. Continued maintenance access has been built in as extras during construction.
WHY PROJECTS GO WRONG?
Case Studies: Dulles GreenwayHow could the first privately-funded tollroad transaction in the USA default right away? Surely the traffic studies and marketing skills of the USA would make this road attractive to the car-adoring US drivership?
Airport CityLinkPut in place after an extensive bidding contest (yet just in time for the state election) this heavy-rail link foundered except for the two weeks of the Sydney Olympics. The project never worked even though the Public Participation was unusually high at 73% of total project costs.

However, the FX component of the financing could not be passed through to the Concessioning Authority, despite the political risk cover via an ADB CFS Loan,
Coface-guaranteed, and EIB loans. What happens when the Non-Revenue Water estimate is incorrect?
Chengdu No. 6 Water (Tolling), ChinaEIB’s assumption of Political Risk had to be meshed with ADB’s Preferred-Creditor
status. This is the first Chinese municipality risk taken on in a PPP Project Financing.
