"The PFI: Teething Problems or Fundamentally Flawed?" is a comprehensive guide that critically examines the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and its role in financing public infrastructure projects. In an era where many countries face economic challenges, the work analyzes the origins and development of the PFI within the context of a changing global economic landscape. The author, Simon Betty, provides a detailed investigation of the political frameworks that led to the introduction of the PFI and discusses the reasons for its inadequate performance. The book concludes with concrete reform proposals and recommendations to restore the PFI as an important tool for delivering infrastructure projects. It is aimed at policymakers, academics, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities presented by the PFI.
