Whitepaper - US P3- Key Opportunities and Challenges

Opportunities

• Most US contractors are privately owned, small or medium
  sized firms with comparatively low capitalization, and
  simply do not possess adequate resources for these major,
  sometimes "billion dollar", projects
• There is widespread competition for small projects, but an
  open market for the largest ones
• Overseas contractors can import financial strength, skills
  and experience which are not available in the US

Challenges

• Each State within the US has their own unique legal and
  political environment
• US insurance market is not automatically equipped to cope
  with the insurance requirements of international lenders
  and seamless construction / operational insurance policies
• Much higher project insurance and bonding costs

Presentations and Audio include...

• PPP in the USA - Political, regulatory and legal review of the US market outlining the type of PPP projects undertaken since 2004, forecasting PPP opportunity and discussing statutory restrictions, bonding requirements and financing issues.
• Credit and Political Risks - Protecting your Project and Improving the Financing. Exploring the changing risk profile of a number of key emerging territories (inc. Vietnam, Russia and Kuwait), the implications for projects and the role insurance can play in securing finance.
