The United States has a tremendous need for infrastructure investment, but it remains slow in adopting public-private partnerships – or P3s – compared to other countries.
President Trump’s infrastructure policy plans to address these shortcomings by limiting government spending to $200 billion over the next decade, while removing red tape and making it easier for municipalities to complete P3 deals to address infrastructure underinvestment. However, there’s a lot of uncertainty about Trump’s ability to execute on these plans given the lack of progress in healthcare and tax reforms.
In this article, we will look at the need for infrastructure investment in the United States, as well as the role that bond insurance plays in P3 deals from the standpoint of both issuers and investors.
