PPP 公私合作模式

　　Public-private partnerships, or PPP, are a model of financing infrastructure projects that Britain created in the 1990s. China has used it in the past, and the government wants to use it more. The PPP model sees the government cooperate with private investors to build infrastructure projects and develop public utilities. The projects can include roads, airports and subway lines. The Beijing city government partnered with three private businesses to build and operate Line 4 of its subway system in 2004. The central city of Luoyang and Harbin, in the northeast, have recently started pilot programs using the PPP model to get US$ 100 million in long-term loans from Asian Development Bank. Experts say for the model to work the government must sign equal contracts with those putting up private capital, and pass laws to regulate the PPP model.

　　PPP是英文public-private partnership的缩写，一种为基础设施建设融资的模式。PPP的概念在上世纪90年代由英国最先提出， 随之被中国引入国内。政府和公司在基础设施和公用事业工程上采用这一模式进行合作。这些工程可以包括公路，机场和城市轨道交通等。北京地铁4号线被视为PPP模式成功的范例。现在，洛阳和哈尔滨被选为亚洲开发银行（下称亚行）PPP项目试点，这两个城市将分别获得亚行1亿美元的长期优惠贷款。专家们强调政府和公司签订平等的契约关系，并且督促政府赶快出台相应的政策法规。（财新 郭凯）
