Grant Description

The goal of this project is to support increased private sector investment in infrastructure in Brazil which is key to promoting economic development by developing a transparent, attractive public private partnership (PPP) enabling environment and enhancing the Ministry of Infrastructures (MINFRA) and the Programa de Parcerias de Investimentos (PPI) capacity to manage and market the PPP process and fiscal obligations.

Project components include: 1) enhancing and standardizing the structure of concession contracts to increase private sector investment in infrastructure; 2) developing and implementing risk mitigation techniques and products to reduce financial downside and increase private participation; 3) developing a debt guarantee fund that will accelerate debt capital market transactions for infrastructure and encourage private sector investment in PPP projects; 4) creating effective external communications with market participants to drive demand; and 5) developing the capacity to prepare and market projects for private investment at the state level in Minas Gerais (MG).
