Risk Management in Private Finance Initiative Projects

Over the last decade, the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) has become preferred government option for the provision of different services to the public. In PFI procurement, private companies take on the obligation to build and manage a facility but provide only a small fraction of the project?s capital requirements. Despite the considerable amount of attention to various PFI related issues, little research has been conducted on the risk management practices of the financial institutions in PFI procurement. This book presents an exploratory study of the risk management strategies of financiers in PFI projects.
