Recommendation 10
10
Government lacks evidence to determine optimal financing models for infrastructure projects
Recommendation
The government does not have an evidence base upon which to judge which financing models are best suited for particular projects and as such, the government may not be achieving value for money on some infrastructure projects.17 In addition, the absence of an evaluation means that government cannot make the necessary assessments to determine the appropriateness of financing models. As a result, there is a lack of clarity for investors on what projects the government is willing to support and what financing approach they may take in each case.18
