Ukraine’s PPP system is being developed with the advice of the World Bank’s IFC Group. Since 2014, IFC has advised governments on 147 public-private partnerships, an effort expected to draw $33 billion in private financing. In Ukraine, IFC advised on the recently completed concession contracts for Kherson and Olvia ports, contracts that are to bring in investments totaling $137 million. Now, IFC is advising preparation of a tender for the concession of a container terminal in Ukraine’s Chornomorsk port and is analyzing concessions at rail stations. This project that could bring in over $150 million, says Jason Brett Pellmar, the IFC’s regional manager.
