Gyetvai claims that the annual costs of PPPs could increase from HUF 22 bln to HUF 30 bln in the next few years, and says that buying out the 26 PPPs will save HUF 40 bln in the long term, Napi Gazdaság reported.
The decision was made following a review of 54 PPPs. The government began reviewing and buying out PPPs in all public sectors in 2010, due to their high cost, shaky legal assurances and management restrictions, the paper said.
The commissioner also said the aim is not to sell assets, but to acquire ownership rights, after which universities can take over full management, ensuring sustainable and high quality infrastructure.
