Workshop Two: Ensuring Fiscal Affordability of PPPs
The second workshop in the series highlighted lessons learned on ensuring the fiscal affordability of PPPs. It covered fiscal commitments in the current environment of high indebtedness levels, contingent liabilities arising from PPPs, and the Public-Private Partnerships Fiscal Risk Management Tool (PFRAM) developed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. It also featured case studies from Kenya, Peru, and the Philippines.
The workshop was tailored for staff from PPP units, ministries of finance and planning, project developers, and PPP practitioners from Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, and Asia. Staff from International Financial Institutions, national infrastructure and development banks, and emerging market financiers, as well as interested stakeholders, also participated.
The workshop was held virtually. Speaker presentations, case studies, and discussions were conducted in English.
Participants engaged through small group discussions, quick-answer apps, and question and answer sessions at the end of each panel discussion.
