The Law on PPP does not address the fundamental problem – long-term guarantees of return on investment

It is assumed that Federal Law No. 224, which entered into force on 01 January 2016, will create opportunities for the development of the institution of public-private partnerships in Russia. However, despite the fact that the list of objects, for which agreements on public-private partnerships or municipal-private partnerships could be concluded, includes health care facilities, the law does not define either the specifics of the healthcare objects, nor the practice of interaction between government and business, which has already been tried and tested at the regional level.

But will this help these institutions compete with bona fide state arbitration courts? Experts from Pravo.ru talk about the problems that this reform, in their opinion, will not solve.

The year 2015: “binding” amendments, the Law on PPP, capital amnesty, and more

The traditional December poll by the EZH-Jurist newspaper of law practice professionals, on to how they viewed the events of the outgoing year, became a demonstration of pluralism rather than unanimity. The experts named a number of important events that occurred in 2015, but these all concerned different legal areas and, unlike as occurred in the year 2012, it proved impossible to define a common favorite. Just as well – the readers of the EZH-Jurist had the opportunity to review all of those, so very different, results.
