2013 could be a pivotal year for public-private partnership in Poland because of the scale that the PPP market is going to reach during the next 12 months and the financial support that the government has announced for PPP projects.
If the A1 Tuszyn-Pyrzowice motorway project is launched this year under a PPP scheme, it will mean that, in 2013, around 20 large and medium-sized PPP projects with a total value of approx. PLN 12 billion (EUR 2.85 billion) in 5 infrastructure sectors will be carried out in Poland. These figures will increase by the number and value of many smaller projects (with a value below EUR 35 million) to be implemented in various infrastructure sectors and subsectors including those where, so far, the PPP model has not been tested.
The government has announced that under the umbrella of the "Polish Investments" programme, the State Treasury will be actively involved in sponsoring and financing PPP projects in various infrastructure sectors. Inevitably, to get the wheels turning and effectively develop the PPP market, the government will have to establish a PPP task force and develop sector PPP programmes.
