Public-Private Partnership in Iran<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Attracting investments and capital, which will lead to economic growth, has become one of the main goals of most developing countries to compensate for the underdevelopment in different fields, including economic, social, cultural, etc.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, developed and industrialized countries and large-scale or multinational companies also tend to bring their capital into developing countries to enjoy a vast new market, human resources, and tax incentives.<\/p>\n

Public-Private Partnership<\/strong> mechanism (PPP) is one of the most crucial tools to enhance a country\u2019s general economic, financial, technological, and manufacturing conditions. Since the Public Sector is typically based on traditional ground rules and structures, the participation of the Private Sector in projects and services of the Public Sector could be of considerable assistance.<\/p>\n

As mentioned above, Public-Private Partnership (PPP) acts as a vital tool in enhancing different aspects of a country\u2019s development, consisting of various legal mechanisms and agreements, including BOT Agreements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What is a BOT Agreement?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

BOT or Build-Operate-Transfer Agreement<\/strong> is the most prevalent and common type of Public-Private Partnership. In this method, a developing country\u2019s government, as the recipient of foreign investment<\/strong>, provides a Concession to a private entity or consortium (an association of several domestic or foreign companies) the development of a public project. The consortium might be consisted of foreign companies, and in many cases, the private entity constructing the Public Sector\u2019s projects is a foreign company.<\/p>\n

After the construction is accomplished, the consortium will develop, operate, and maintain the infrastructure facility for a predetermined amount of time, to reimburse its construction costs and make profits from the project\u2019s operation. Afterwards, the consortium, which has fully recovered the expenses and gained profits, will transfer the project to the government and the BOT agreement will come to an end.<\/p>\n
