Meeting the UK’s ambitions on net zero, economic growth and levelling up will require nothing less than a major programme of infrastructure investment. But with the significant pressures on the public finances, Government must think creatively about how it finances these projects.
Infrastructure Investment Partnerships, the third report in FGF’s Rebuilding the Nation series, recommends the government develop a new model of public-private partnership to help meet the UK’s infrastructure ambitions and deliver wider community benefits at the same time.
Join us for the launch event online on Thursday 12th September, 12:30 – 13:30. We will discuss what can be learnt from the history of public-private partnerships – their past successes and failures – both in the UK and abroad, and why a new and improved model should be part of the policy mix for a government looking to pump investment into the degraded public sphere.
Joining report author Matt Bevington, FGF Policy Associate and Practice Director at Global Counsel, will be an expert panel, featuring:
Lord John Hutton, former Business Secretary (2007-08) and Chair, The Association of Infrastructure Investors in Public Private Partnerships
Zoe Watters, Corporate Finance Partner, PwC
Eleanor Woodhouse, Associate Professor in Public Policy, University College London
Peter Foster, Public Policy Editor, The Financial Times (Chair)
