Abstract

Towards the end of the twentieth century, the trend that seemed to be emerging in many countries was towards a certain distribution of roles whereby transport operations were assigned to the private sphere and infrastructure to the public sphere. Over the past ten years, however, growth in the use of PPPs has signalled a significant change which completely redefines the issue of infrastructure funding. For instance the financial profitability is more important than the socio-economic internal rate of return.
