All economies are generally open to foreign participation in PPP. There might be certain sectors, though, which are nationally sensitive and limited to foreign investors, such as energy, telecommunication, and transportation. Economies such as Australia, Canada, Indonesia and the Philippines stipulate these limitations in their investment policy. In Indonesia, foreign capital ownership are open to 95% in power plants, electricity, toll road, and waste management. In telecommunications network, foreign participation is allowed up to 65%, and for port facilities and airport services to a maximum of 49%. In the Philippines, foreign participation is allowed in the PPP consortium, with at least 60% of the share is owned by locals. PPP project proponent must be Filipinos.
Mexico clearly states that foreign participation is closed for energy sector, while Chile and Peru open up all sectors to foreign investment in PPP.
