Abstract

Dedicated public-private partnership (PPP) units are organisations set up with full or partial aid of the government to ensure that the skills needed to handle third-party provision of goods and services are made available and clustered together within government. Such units enhance the capacity of government to successfully manage the risks associated with a growing number and value of PPPs. Although a relatively recent phenomenon, in 2009 more than half of all OECD countries reported the existence of a dedicated unit of some kind.   This book provides an overview of dedicated PPP units in OECD countries, including case studies covering: the State of Victoria (Australia), Germany, Korea, South Africa (an OECD enhanced engagement country), and the United Kingdom. It examines the functions and locations of dedicated PPP units, the role they play in the procurement process and  the lessons learned for other countries that have already established or are considering establishing a dedicated PPP unit.   Further reading Public-Private Partnerships: In Pursuit of Risk Sharing and Value for Money (OECD, 2008)

Abstract

Les unités consacrées aux partenariats public-privé (PPP) sont des organismes créés en totalité ou en partie avec l’aide de l’État, pour veiller à ce que les compétences requises pour gérer la fourniture de biens et de services par des tiers existent et soient regroupées au niveau du gouvernement. Ces unités renforcent la capacité de l’État à gérer les risques liés à l’augmentation du nombre de partenariats public-privé et de la valeur qu’ils représentent. Alors que ces unités spécialisées sont considérées comme un phénomène relativement nouveau, plus de la moitié des pays membres de l’OCDE indiquaient, en 2009, l’existence d’une unité consacrée aux PPP sous une forme ou une autre. Le présent ouvrage donne une vue d’ensemble des unités consacrées aux PPP dans les pays de l’OCDE et comprend cinq études de cas qui concernent l’Afrique du Sud (pays partenaire de l’engagement renforcé de l’OCDE), l’Allemagne, la Corée, le Royaume-Uni et l’État de Victoria (Australie). Il pose les questions suivantes : quelles sont les fonctions et la localisation de leurs unités consacrées aux PPP ? Dans le cadre de ces fonctions, quel est le rôle joué par ces unités dans le processus d’exécution ? Quels enseignements peuvent en tirer les autres pays qui ont déjà créé ou envisagent de créer une unité spécialisée ?

Abstract

Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) erfreuen sich in Deutschland wachsender Beliebtheit. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird unter Berücksichtigung kameralistischer und doppischer Haushaltsführung betrachtet, ob die aus ihnen resultierenden Verbindlichkeiten in den öffentlichen Haushalten ausreichend transparent dargestellt werden und ob PPPs in Widerspruch zu den Verschuldungsregeln nach Art. 115 GG, Maastricht und der neuen Schuldenbremse stehen. Als Ergebnis bleibt festzuhalten, dass die transparente Darstellung der Verbindlichkeiten zwar leidet, aus schuldenrechtlicher Sicht allerdings nichts gegen die Durchführung von PPPs einzuwenden ist. Denn schließlich ergeben sich Anlässe zur Kritik aus aufgezeigten Schwächen des Haushalts- und Verschuldungsrechts, welche allerdings nicht zur Argumentation gegen die Durchführung von PPPs herangezogen werden sollten, wenn diese dazu dienen, öffentliche Leistungen wirtschaftlicher zu erbringen.

Abstract

The Marshall Plan is invoked whenever policy makers contemplate large-scale foreign aid. A cursory Google search turns up 'A Marshall Plan for Africa,' 'A Marshall Plan for Haiti,' 'A Marshall Plan for Eastern Europe,' and 'A Marshall Plan for the East.' The foreign aid program officially known as the European Recovery Program (ERP), but forever associated with the name of Secretary of State George C. Marshall, is widely regarded as a singular success. Over the four years from 1948 through 1951, the United States transferred USD 13 billion (roughly USD 115 billion at current prices) to the war-torn nations of Europe. The transfer represented approximately two per cent of U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and roughly the same share of the collective GDP of the recipient countries. The recipients, seemingly on the brink of economic collapse, mounted a strong recovery. Industrial production in the recipient European countries leapt from just 87 per cent of pre-Second World War levels in 1947 to fully 135 per cent in 1951, a 55 per cent jump in just four years. At least as importantly, the resumption of growth was sustained. Europe embarked on a 'golden age' of economic growth that spanned a period of decades. No wonder, then, that the Marshall Plan is widely regarded as the most striking historical example of a successful large-scale foreign aid program. And no wonder that there have been repeated attempts to identify the key ingredients of its success in the hope that this might be replicated in other times and places.

Abstract

Investment in infrastructure is critical to economic growth, quality of life, poverty reduction, access to education, healthcare, and achieving many of the goals of a robust economy. But infrastructure is difficult for the public sector to get right. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) can help; they provide more efficient procurement, focus on consumer satisfaction and life cycle maintenance, and provide new sources of investment, in particular through limited recourse debt. But PPPs present challenges of their own. This book provides a practical guide to PPPs for policy makers and strategists, showing how governments can enable and encourage PPPs, providing a step-by-step analysis of the development of PPP projects, and explaining how PPP financing works, what PPP contractual structures look like, and how PPP risk allocation works in practice. It includes specific discussion of each infrastructure sector, with a focus on the strategic and policy issues essential for successful development of infrastructure through PPPs.

Abstract

The IMF’s main uses of the International Comparison Program’s (ICP) estimates of purchasing power parity (PPP)-adjusted Gross Domestic Product (GDP) are as an element of the formula used to help guide decisions on its members’ quotas and in the World Economic Outlook (WEO). The paper outlines these uses and considers measurement issues particularly salient to IMF usage including: PPP imputations for member countries not participating in the ICP; PPP estimates for non-benchmark years; timeliness and periodicity of PPP estimates; economy groupings; and transparency. The paper was written as a chapter on ?IMF uses of PPPs? for the 2011 ICP Handbook.

Abstract

This Joint Staff Advisory Note reviews the National Development Plan (NDP) 2010/11 to 2014/15 prepared by the government of Uganda. The NDP is the first in a series of six plans intended to move the country toward the national vision of a transformed modern economy in the next 30 years. The NDP expands on the vision of the earlier Poverty Eradication Action Plans, and was developed through an extensive and broad-based country-driven consultative process over the period 2008–09. IMF staff has recommended some measures to strengthen the NDP and enhance its implementation.

Abstract

Infrastructure plays a key role in promoting economic growth and opportunities.In particular, the efficient provision of basic infrastructure services, like water and sanitation, is a key ingredient in fostering a country's social and economic development. Previous studies have found that infrastructure has a positive impact on output, and can improve economic opportunity, including health and education for the poor, particularly in developing countries. In Argentina, a 2005 study, found that child mortality fell by 8 percent in areas that had experienced improved coverage and quality of basic water and sanitation through utility reform, with most of the reduction occurring in low-income areas where the water network expanded the most. More generally, Fay and Morrison found that allowing the poorest quintile in developing countries the same access to basic services as the richest quintile would reduce child mortality by 8 percent and child under development by 14 percent. Calderon and Serven also found a significant positive impact of infrastructure access and quality on overall inequality. Furthermore, the book sheds some light on how to address the main challenge for the future which may be to attract specialized operators to the smaller municipalities which do not currently have them. For that purpose in Colombia, for example, over the last two years, the policy framework has been focused on promoting the sector's development, by using the departments as the intermediate institutional level between the National Government and the municipalities, to formulate programs with regional impact and promote comprehensive investment plans.
