III. PPP Policy Direction in Korea 18
1. Preserving the Role of PPP Fiscal resources are limited due to increased spending in welfare and the government s effort to expand Korea s future growth engines Private investment will continue to complement the government s limited fiscal resources in public infrastructure investment. BTO BTL Priority given based on economic viability, PPP feasibility, and the potential to alleviate infrastructure bottleneck, etc Roads : In the most congested areas Railroads : Light rail in congested areas Ports: Contingent on varying commercial traffic End user benefit is increased by the timely provision of necessary infrastructure. School Facilities Military housing/leisure facilities Sewage/Sanitary Systems Cultural/Welfare facilities 19
2. Fiscal Management Rule 2% Limit Rule - Limited to 2% of the total estimated annual expenditure - Allows flexible fiscal management without placing heavy burden on government expenditure - Estimate of total expenditure on PPPs is less than 1.6% of the government s estimated total annual expenditure * Estimate : 2009 (1.2%) 2013 (1.6%) Government Expenditure on PPPs : Lease Payment for BTL Projects, Land Acquisition Cost for BTO Projects, Construction Subsidy, and Minimum Revenue Guarantee (MRG) 20
3. Korea s Knowledge-sharing Initiative Establishes new strategic partnerships by transferring Korea s PPP experience to the developing economies. Infrastructure development is essential for strong, sustainable, and balanced economic growth Fiscal resources in the developing economies may not be sufficient to satisfy their infrastructure needs. PPPs are increasingly being recognized as a means to complement budget constrains and leverage the private sector s technical innovation. By leveraging the resources and technology of the private sector, the necessary infrastructure can be supplied in a timely manner in the highest construction quality with the greatest value for money. Korea is committed to sharing its PPP knowledge, experience, and best practices with the developing economies by engaging in: Joint-research initiatives Mutually-beneficial support programs Regional cooperation initiatives 21
4. Bilateral Cooperation Obstacles to PPPs in the Developing Economies Many developing economies are considering PPPs as a powerful alternative to traditional procurement of infrastructure such as energy, water supply, ICT facilities, etc. However, it is difficult to attract private investment when the government lacks fully developed policies and legal framework, and adequate experience in project development and management. Customized to Each of our Partner Countries Needs To ensure that every one of our partner country successfully launches a set of PPP policies tailored to their market specific needs, the Korean government provides a Capacity Building Program customized to each country s needs, based on our thoroughly conducted a Needs Analysis Research. 22
