Quantitative risk allocation approach in public-private partnership projects

Risk allocation is an important factor in risk management to ensure successful achievement of the implementation of Public-Private Partnership projects (PPP). Several PPP projects have failed to meet budget, deadlines, and quality inspection. There are 327 unsuccessful PPP projects around the world...

description Risk allocation is an important factor in risk management to ensure successful achievement of the implementation of Public-Private Partnership projects (PPP). Several PPP projects have failed to meet budget, deadlines, and quality inspection. There are 327 unsuccessful PPP projects around the world and Malaysia is the second highest in East Asia with 22 failed projects. Inappropriate risk allocation has led to adversarial relationships between contracting participants and has consequently increased project cost, time and poor quality. Thus, it is very important for the public and private sector to choose a fair risk allocation in order to make strategic decisions. The aim of this study was to develop an optimal quantitative approach to enhance the equitable risk allocation in PPP projects.
