According to a Moody's Investors Service, the U.S. market for public-private partnerships (P3s) is equipped for growth and positioned to become one of the world's largest. According to a new report from Moody's important factors like availability of new state and federal resources, political support, the underlying legal structure to enforce P3 contracts and a strong capital market shape the necessary foundations for steady growth.
"State-level P3 activity has risen over the last three years, and nearly all P3 projects have been completed early or on time," said John Medina, Moody's VP – Senior Analyst "The need for more inter- and intra-government P3 best practice sharing remains key for the US P3 market's long-term development compared to other markets where infrastructure development and funding may be more centrally aligned."
