The issue of North American shortfall in infrastructure is a serious one. Research estimates that in the US alone $90 billion is required each year just to maintain current standards.
In order to actively improve the network, a cash investment is required that would upgrade transport networks, hospitals, airports, ports, municipal buildings, housing and schools. Federal and state governments alone are not in a position to fund this injection. Going to the municipal bond finance markets is becoming more difficult as public debt grows ever larger. Moreover, an inability to raise funds through higher taxes means public revenue will continue to remain relatively flat.
Step up to the plate PPP…
The US has a long history with the private operation of turnpikes, but the government’s role in the highway system has expanded over the 20th century. As the government’s ability to support road networks becomes strained, it is looking to new and old methods of financing upgrades.
America has been slower to adapt concession-based PPP structures than other OECD countries.
The time is right for all this to change. In recent years there have been a number of landmark PPP transactions in the US and Canada, most notably the Chicago Skyway, Indiana Toll Road, Pocahontas Parkway and the Richmond to Vancouver rail link.
This has proved that PPP can work. It is important now that the deal flow begins to increase and transaction time speeds up. Already 20 US states have legislation compatible with PPP and more are coming on board all the time. However, so far only 4 states have successfully concluded deals - the potential for the project finance community remains immense.
Be a part of this exciting market as it develops and book now.
