Infrastructure investment and development have played a critical role in this process in terms of improving connectivity and unleashing growth potentials. In the face of a huge infrastructure gap in the Asia-Pacific region, public-private partnership (PPP) is considered by APEC member economies as a cost-effective solution to bridging this gap. The PPP modality mobilizes private financial resources and know-how, promotes efficient use of public funds, and improves service quality. PPP projects require a multiple of key factors to ensure its success. These include, among others, an enabling policy and legal environment, proper design and preparation, strong institutional capacity, long-term contract management, and careful monitoring over the project life cycle. In this collection, 55 case studies were provided by contributing APEC member economies, as well as international financial institutions. The case studies cover infrastructure PPP projects in the transport, energy, water supply and wastewater treatment, and service sectors of 18 APEC member economies. A careful review of the case studies reveal the following lessons and experiences: The PPP model offers significant advantages over traditional public procurement in terms of efficiency, service quality and value for money. Australia, Canada, Japan, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and Peru have all reported significant cost savings by applying various PPP methods on infrastructure projects. Australia tendered bids for a road (the Peninsula Link), water (Victorian Desalination), and a rail infrastructure (rolling stock) project. The financial proposals were evaluated against a public sector comparator (estimate of the risk- adjusted, whole of life cost of the project if alternatively delivered by the government). The preferred proponents provided bids lower than the public sector comparator by 1%, 14.1%, and 30% respectively. Canada carried out value-for-money assessments throughout the procurement process to estimate value savings that consistently demonstrated that the PPP approach provided a lower overall net present cost to taxpayers compared to the traditional delivery procurement method. Similarly, Peru utilized value-for-money analysis in approving the modern, mass public underground Metro system as a PPP project. The PRC experience in its municipal natural gas infrastructure project is noteworthy in that the successful operation and tangible efficiency gains afforded by PPPs convinced the neighboring municipal governments to launch PPP in their own cities. This supported PPP penetration into smaller cities and subsequently expanded the natural gas market. The Kawai water purification plant rehabilitation project in Japan showed a public sector comparator price higher by about 6%, which further validated the government’s decision to use the private finance initiative approach in the construction of the plant. Because of private sector know-how, the project adopted a state of the art membrane filtration system to increase the water supply and water treatment capacity – a method the public sector has no prior experience with. Today, the water treatment plant with membrane filtration system processes water on a scale that has never been realized in Japan. The PPP design, build, own, operate approach of the five (5) water sector projects in Singapore, has resulted in a lower than expected bid price partly due to economic optimisation, design innovations, and improvements in membrane technology. PPP experiences reported by the China Development Bank indicate that PPP is essential in reducing national government debt, relieving the financial pressure weighing upon local governments, and demonstrate that local enterprises can expand to overseas market with the PPP model (as in the case of Jamaica’s Highway 2000 project where a Chinese engineering company was engaged to construct the 2 highway). Privatizing Malaysia’s hospital support services improved the management of its public health facilities and prolonged the life and reliability of the assets, which translated to better services to patients. Government participation is essential to further encourage private sector interest, particularly in large, complex infrastructure projects. The experiences of Indonesia and Chile showed that the private sector will more likely invest in economic and infrastructure projects with government as their enabling partner. Risks associated with these types of projects are oftentimes too high for the private sector to bear on its own. In Chile, the government allowed for the option of a (government) guaranteed minimum income mechanism to increase the financial viability of proposed projects. Financial closures during the bidding process of a water project in Indonesia were unsuccessful due to lack of government financial support in the form of capital subsidies and government guarantees. Singapore’s initial experience in the procurement process of building its waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration plant also met with setback as the market was not ready. A tender for a pure private sector competition model for the development of a plant in 2001 was unsuccessful because the private sector could not bear the demand risk. The private sector might also be unable to source for or unwilling to commit the required funds to finance such a capital intensive project without demand support. In view of the market conditions, the government decided to adopt a design- build-own-operate PPP scheme, with full take-or-pay approach to ensure project bankability. Invitation to tender was issued in 2004, contract was awarded to the winning bidder in 2005, and plant was completed in 2009. In Canada, two road transport case studies indicated that there were no proposals forthcoming from the private sector to complete the proposed infrastructure projects without public sector involvement. Thailand had an interesting experience in its container terminal project, where the government stepped in to manage demand risks in the face of strong competition among port operators, which drove prices down and adversely impacted revenues that were lower than initially projected. Identifying and implementing risk-mitigating mechanisms for balanced management of risks for the public and private sector. Identification and proper allocation of risks is fundamental to a PPP success story. It is advisable to have in PPP contracts risk mitigation clauses to cover (a) changes in government policy or legal provisions that will mitigate exposure of the private sector

  • Job-Worker Spatial Dynamics in Beijing: Insights from Smart Card Data
    Published as: Huang, Jie, Levinson, D., Wang, Jiaoe, Jin, Haitao (2019) Job-worker spatial dynamics in Beijing: Insights from Smart Card Data. Cities 86, 89-93 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cities.2018.11.021 1 Job-worker spatial dynamics in Beijing: insights from Smart 2 Card Data 3 Abstract: 4 As a megacity, Beijing has experienced traffic congestion, unaffordable housing 5 issues and jobs-housing imbalance. Recent decades have seen policies and projects 6 aiming at decentralizing urban structure and job-worker patterns, such as subway 7 network expansion, the suburbanization of housing and firms. But it is unclear 8 whether these changes produced a more balanced spatial configuration of jobs and 9 workers. To answer this question, this paper evaluated the ratio of jobs to workers 10 from Smart Card Data at the transit station level and offered a longitudinal study for 11 regular transit commuters. The method identifies the most preferred station around 12 each commuter’s workpalce and home location from individual smart datasets 13 according to their travel regularity, then the amounts of jobs and workers around each 14 station are estimated. A year-to-year evolution of job to worker ratios at the station 15 level is conducted. We classify general cases of steepening and flattening job-worker 16 dynamics, and they can be used in the study of other cities. The paper finds that (1) 17 only temporary balance appears around a few stations; (2) job-worker ratios tend to be 18 steepening rather than flattening, influencing commute patterns; (3) the polycentric 19 configuration of Beijing can be seen from the spatial pattern of job centers identified.

  • Locking Private Sector Participation Into Infrastructure Development in the Philippines
    Transport and Communications Bulletin for Asia and the Pacific No. 72, 2003 LOCKING PRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATION INTO INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES Noel Eli B. Kintanar, Ma. Lourdes S. Baclagon, Rodolfo T. Azanza, Jr. and Rina P. Alzate* ABSTRACT The Government of the Philippines continues to pursue its policy of encouraging the private sector to participate in the financing, construction, management and operation of infrastructure services and facilities in the country. Through the BOT Law, (Republic Act No. 7718), the Government has put together a portfolio of approximately US$ 25 billion in infrastructure projects involving private sector investments. A number of these are big- ticket transport projects which could not be funded solely from government coffers in view of the magnitude of the capital investments required. To ensure the steady promotion of infrastructure projects that are ready for private sector investments, the Government established the Build-Operate- Transfer Center (BOT Center), whose mandate is to find technical, legal, financial, economic and institutional solutions to help government implementing agencies to make BOT projects work. This paper focuses on the role of the BOT Center in promoting private sector projects and also discusses BOT as a contractual arrangement under the BOT Law and considerations that the private sector makes in undertaking a BOT project. INTRODUCTION It is a fact that infrastructure projects are capital-intensive propositions. In many countries, the difficulty of financing both the construction and the operation and maintenance of infrastructure services * BOT Center, Department of Trade and Industry, 6/F, EDPC Building, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Complex, Malate, Manila, fax: (632) 525-4416; e-mail: [email protected].
