Question 22-Is the higher cost and reduced availability of debt financing, which accounts for the bulk of financing in highly leveraged infrastructure deals, delaying some infrastructure projects or even leading to their indefinite postponement? Please provide examples.
Question 23-Is infrastructure financing for P3s likely to benefit from a "flight to quality" among investors, since such projects are often backed by availability payments from the public sector?
Question 24-Is there a role for the public sector to play in unlocking private sector financing for P3 infrastructure projects? Should the public sector provide interim or bridge financing for a limited period of time, up to a point where the deal is refinanced entirely on a private basis? Are there any other measures that should be taken by the public sector? Are any of these likely to compromise the efficiency benefits of P3s?
Question 25-Is there a role for P3s in delivering infrastructure and providing fiscal stimulus during the current downturn?
