INTRODUCTION

This Report is a result of the G20 IWG Survey on PPP development in G20 countries. The Survey aimed to collect country experiences on various aspects of infrastructure policy and public-private partnership in a homogenous manner to allow for cross-country analysis and mapping of policy activities. Examples of possible measures for policy-making are proposed for information only without aiming to determine the best experience.

The report has been prepared by the National PPP Development Center, which is a dedicated PPP unit of Russia, jointly with the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation and the VEB.RF, Russia's State Development Corporation. The Survey relied on G20 countries' responses to the questionnaire that provided relevant data and evidence.

As the outcome of a collective effort, this report has benefited from the input from the World Bank, OECD, Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility and the European PPP Expertise Centre. We also acknowledge the Global Infrastructure Hub for the statistical and analytical data provided.

Additionally, the questionnaire has collected cases of country experiences in implementing PPP projects. In total, countries have provided over 33 project cases (see Appendix A).

The full list of questions included in the G20 IWG Survey can be found in Appendix B.

However, the information presented further may not be explicit due to the scarcity of information available on some specific subjects. In such cases, we were guided by the countries' responses in the first order. We are looking forward to receiving feedback from countries may they find it necessary to communicate additional information.

Issues related to Traditional Public Investment have not been covered in this report as they were out of the Survey's scope. Nevertheless, many questions raised in the Survey are as well applicable to TPI, notably the ones related to supportive measures and overall infrastructure governance.
