Thanks to the constant work of the IDA with investors, very interesting projects in the field of public-private partnership are appearing in the republic. One of them is Nizhnekamsk Baths. The project was supported by the Investment Development Agency and was approved by the Investment Council of the Republic in 2018. “Nizhnekamsk Baths” is an excellent example when an investor was not afraid to invest in recreational infrastructure and is operating successfully. At the same time, the popularity of this type of recreation today has grown so much that families from all over the republic and from other regions go to Nizhnekamsk for the weekend.
In accordance with the Methodology approved by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, the level of PPP development in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation is determined based on the results of an assessment of three factors:
- Dynamics of implementation of PPP projects in the reporting year (2022).
- Accumulated experience in implementing PPP projects in previous years (until 2022).
- State of the regulatory and institutional environment.
The basis for calculating the values of the first two factors is the planned volume of investment in the project, which is adjusted by the coefficients of the form, duration and stage of the project. The source of data is information about projects entered into the State Automated System “Management”. Priority when calculating the values of the first two factors is given to regions implementing long-term projects within the framework of concession agreements and PPP agreements, private private partnerships with the largest volume of contracted investments. To calculate the value of the third factor, indicators of the number of early terminated agreements due to the fault of the public party are used; shares of agreements concluded within the framework of competitive procedures; the duration of signing agreements, as well as qualitative assessments provided by independent expert organizations.
