Abstract
This
paper
investigates
the
emerging
global
landscape
for
public-private
co-investments
in
infrastructure.
The
creation
of
the
Asian
Infrastructure
Investment
Bank
and
other
so-called
“infrastructure
investment
platforms”
are
an
attempt
to
tap
into
the
pool
of
both
public
and
private
long-term
savings
in
order
to
channel
the
latter
into
much
needed
infrastructure
projects.
This
paper
puts
these
new
initiatives
into
perspective
by
critically
reviewing
the
literature
and
experience
with
public
private
partnerships
in
infrastructure.
It
concludes
by
identifying
the
main
challenges
policy
makers
and
other
actors
will
need
to
confront
going
forward
and
to
turn
infrastructure
into
an
asset
class
of
its
own.
