PPP Days 2010

Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Days 2010 brought more than 250 public sector officials from 40 countries to Manila from 22–24 March to review the impact of the global financial crisis on PPP activities, the outlook for PPP projects in the short and medium term, and the implications for government policies.

The environment for PPP projects in Asia and globally has been severely impacted by the financial crisis. Despite the recent challenges, governments around the region are increasingly interested in the potential of PPP modalities to develop public infrastructure. The event highlighted the critical importance of developing sound regulatory and legal frameworks for PPP transactions as competition for investment funds intensifies.

The event was organized by ADB and the World Bank Institute, with support from ADBI; Department of Finance, Philippines; Development Academy of the Philippines; International Finance Corporation; Inter-American Development Bank's Multilateral Investment Fund; and World Bank.
