Challenge II:  Lack of Partner Confidence and Trust

An additional barrier:  a lack of trust and confidence between potential PPP partners.

• The public sector fears private finance will extract excessive returns, with user and taxpayers eventually footing the bill.

 

• The private sector fears government wavering and capricious political forces will damage or destroy investment returns.

YRC Solution II:  YRC as the Infrastructure Catalyst

By treating environmental issues as assets rather than liabilities, our strategy is to:
​

• Assist the public sector:  By advocating transparency, respect for public procurement principles, protecting the public purse and generating competitive user charges.

​

• ​Assist private finance:  By stimulating public buy-in, limited government “skin-in-the game” and allowing private finance to plan without fear of major unanticipated changes.

​

• Self insure political risk: By incorporating split political/commercial risk insurance to development capital.

We act in the role of infrastructure catalyst – making infrastructure happen.
