Paragraph 4 c (new)
4c. Notes with concern Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are increasingly promoted as a way to finance development projects; recalls PPPs are, in most cases, the most expensive method of financing, significantly increasing the cost to the public purse; recalls that PPPs often reduce the already limited access to public services, for example in health, and go ahead with a reduction of public investment; regrets PPPs are all too often a risky way of financing for public institutions.; recalls that evidence of impact of PPPs on efficiency is very limited and weak; notes that PPPs face important challenges when it comes to reducing poverty and inequality, while avoiding negative impacts on the environment; recalls that PPPs suffer from low transparency and limited public scrutiny, which undermines democratic accountability;
