The data used in this publication are EPEC's own aggregation of information collected from a variety of sources, in particular Dealogic ProjectWare, Inframation, Partnerships Bulletin, IJ Global and Inspiratia, cross-checked, where appropriate, against the EIB's own project files. The list of PPP projects forming the dataset has been reviewed, where possible, by EPEC members. Project data contained in this publication may be subject to future revisions due to the late availability of information or corrections to previously reported values. Please note that the PPP pipeline section of this publication is under development. The data and the findings of this publication should therefore be treated with appropriate caution.
This publication covers:
- transactions in EU-28 countries as well as Turkey and countries of the Western Balkans region (i.e. Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, FYROM, Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia);
- transactions structured as design-build-finance-operate (DBFO) or design-build-finance-maintain (DBFM) or concession arrangements which feature a construction element, the provision of a public service and genuine risk sharing between the public and the private sector;
- transactions financed through 'project financing'; and
- transactions of a value (see definition below) of at least EUR 10 million.
The project values quoted in this publication refer to the external financing requirements for projects at the time of financial close (i.e. the sum of debt and equity) and exclude public capital contributions. Readers should note that the external financing requirement of a project can be significantly different to its capital investment cost (the latter being difficult to obtain on a consistent basis).
