Jakarta, MINA – The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the government of Indonesia will partner up to promote public-private partnerships (PPP) in the transport sector.
The increased investment from the private sector would help improve the competitiveness of the state transport infrastructure in the country, publicfinanceinternational.org reported, citing the ADB.
The initiative would also help address the challenges Indonesia’s transport sector faces, such as improving connectivity.
Winfried Wicklein, ADB’s country director for Indonesia, said: “PPP is an important instrument to deliver infrastructure in Indonesia, and ADB is looking forward to assisting the government in development priority transport projects that could be structured on a PPP basis to mobilise private capital flows.”
