Infrastructure projects in partnership with the public sector present significant opportunities for private companies. However, they come with their own set of legal and business challenges. Complex procurement procedures, strict subsidy conditions, lengthy approval processes and high-risk PPP contracts all pose considerable challenges for investors, project developers and financial backers of infrastructure projects. Financing, access to investment vehicles and complex project structures also require meticulous planning.
Success in this sector therefore relies on legally watertight procurement strategies, fairly balanced contracts, sustainable financing models and clear corporate structures.
