Germany
The need to upgrade its roads infrastructure prompted the German Government in 1994 to begin updating its laws governing the use of private finance in roads construction, and latterly, to move towards the use of public private partnerships. The federal government is now promoting the use of PPPs as a part of a drive to improve efficiency in public administration and infrastructure projects. It recently established a Public Private Partnership Taskforce to support individual projects and facilitate knowledge transfer.
