Mubasher: Kuwait’s planned and underway projects through partnership between the public and private sectors are estimated at a value of $44.4 billion, according to a recent report by MEED.
The 17 projects cover a number of sectors, including social infrastructure in the health care and educational sectors, the report added.
The report stated that the planned and underway projects between the public and private sectors in the MENA and North Africa regions soared 116% during the last 12 months.
The drop in oil since 2014 reduced the ability of governments to finance new infrastructure projects.
