How to manage risk in P3s: Construction, financing, O&M
Risk is a key characteristic of P3s, influencing project structure and cost. The assessment of risk is a critical task in developing and executing P3 projects. Effective risk allocation and risk transfer can drive more competitive bids while simultaneously increasing value for money for the public sector.
A panel of experts from the developer, financing and investment industry will look at how the risks inherent in the different stages of projects can be managed within the framework of a P3:
- What is the appropriate risk transfer between the public and private sector for optimal project delivery?
- What are the current insurance and surety products available for P3 projects? How can an advisory team mitigate risks?
- How can stakeholders identify and mitigate their respective risks in a P3 project?
- Can progressive P3s fairly allocate risk between the public and private sectors?
