“The private sector (investors) would like to see the
ground is strong (for PPP’s). The strength of the
ground is actually nothing but the legislation and the
regulations. And what we have today is a goodstarting point.
” Abdullah Al Nuaimi, the UAE’s Minister of
Public Works.

Capital resources required for ramping-up or
building new MENA infrastructure run into USD
trillions. A joint initiative by World Bank, Islamic
Development Bank and International Finance
Corporation estimated in 2012 that the MENA
region requires capital investment of 75 to 100
billion USD yearly until 2020 to sustain economic
growth rates of prior years. PPP’s offer significant
advantages to both Government and private
sectors investors; It provides alternative funding
sources, which alleviates budget deficit, and
provide investors attractive asset classes to
diversify their portfolios. However, to fertilize PPPs’
full potential requires focus and policy upgrade.

MENA Governments have pressing need for infrastructure
investment to meet economic expansion requirements,
constituents’ demand for better services and lifestyle, urban
development objectives, and expectations of foreign
investors.
The MENA Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Governments
revenues and budgets are heavily impacted by Oil prices.
The other MENA countries are dependent on subsidies from
the Oil-rich countries to fund portion of their public spending,
and have their own public finances challenges to mitigate.
Increasing private sector involvement in economic
development and wealth creation, a long-declared economic
policy objective, is back in the spot light again and would
release public subsidies to more productive economic uses.
Yet, analysts indicate that it is difficult to unlock potential of
PPP’s before improvements to legislative and legal
environments, and public sector implementation capacity
takes place. A World Bank study in select MENA countries
indicated that Legislative and Regulatory environment is the
highest growth barrier for PPP’s take-off, at 36% to 45%
depending on Country. By contrast, Political and Financial
barriers were ranked second at 24%.
