Investment in the Wake of Crisis

12 April 2011 Introduction

. Developing Slovenia’s transportation and logistics infrastructure as one of the key development priorities . Excellent geographic position . Turning the country into a logistics hub would have multiplying effects on economic activity

PwC 2 Stimulating the private sector

. In the past the vast majority of Slovenia’s investments in infrastructure has come from the public sector; limited PPP track record . The public sector will continue to play the dominant role . Due to financial constraints more finance will need to come from the private sector . Project finance provides a logical means to deliver key infrastructure projects as it limits pressure on both short-term cash flows and reduces the need to borrow heavily . It will be important to stimulate the interest of the private sector – political commitment, appropriate regulatory framework, fiscal and other incentives
