Sound government investment planning and forward-looking
infrastructure projects can create people’s confidence in the
country, promote private investment and consumption, and thereby
foster economic growth. Countries in the 1980s faced increasing
pressure to improve public services with serious fiscal deficit.
In order to overcome the fiscal difficulty and to continuously
support industrial development for economic prosperity, many
state governments began to promote various types of private
participation models on supplying public services. In Taiwan,
the models of concession system, well known as BOT, have been
put into practice for nearly 15 years. Besides the concession
system, the other system PFI was developed by Britain government
in 1992 and has been broadly applied in nearly 30 countries. But
for Taiwan, it is still a new challenge to apply PFI models in
infrastructure projects.
The basic difference between PFI and BOT system is that the
public sector use PFI models to procure public services rather
than solely facilities. In addition, there are some special
characteristics in the mechanism design of PFI procurement,
including performance specification, unitary payment, life cycle
cost oriented, and rational risk allocation, etc..
This research takes the core factor for assessing the
performance of PFI project- value for money (VfM)- as the main
point of view to investigate the key issues for developing PFI
models in Taiwan. The key issues would be selected from three
sources, including the main factors of VfM assessment, VfM
drivers in PFI projects, and critical success factors for PFI
projects. Following the analysis of the PFI key issues, the
corresponding strategies for promoting PFI models in Taiwan
would be suggested. |
