  • A Study on Dutertenomics: Drastic Policy Shift in PPP Infrastructure Development in the Philippines
    投稿論文/Contributions A Study on Dutertenomics: Drastic Policy Shift in PPP Infrastructure Development in the Philippines Susumu ITO Chuo University, Tokyo, Japan Abstract This paper studies Dutertenomics of the Philippines which is regarded as drastic policy shift in PPP, Public-private partnership, infrastructure development. While Aquino administration focused on PPP-based infrastructure development as a priority policy, the Duterte administration launched "Dutertenomics", a large-scale infrastructure development plan of about 8 trillion pesos, about 160 billion USD, over 6 years in 2017 which mainly depends on national budget and ODA as financial source rather than PPP. This triggered debate of "PPP vs ODA" in the Philippines. The paper discusses PPP related policies and measures implemented by Aquino administration including government organization, project development fund, PPP fund and relaxation of single borrowers' limit. Dutertenomics will be discussed from the point of view of 1) acceleration of infrastructure development, 2) shift from PPP to ODA, 3) hybrid PPP and 4) financial sources. The paper also examines changes in infrastructure development and its policy in the three decades after Marcos administration since 1986 as a background of these policy shift. The paper discusses that the issue is not about the "PPP vs ODA" but how to promote complementary relations between the public sector and PPP; in other words “PPP and ODA”.
