Abstract
The public private partnership model, which has become increasingly widespread in developed countries and emerging markets in the post-1980s, is considered as a kind of win-win model that opens up new profitable areas for the private sector and gives the governments ability to to get rid of the problems like increasing budget deficits and debt stocks while implementing infrastructure projects.
This model that based on risk sharing between the public and private sector, which emphasizes the fact that investments will be operated more efficiently by the private sector, is a frequently used method by governments due to the control of public expenditures and the positive effects on budget deficits. State guarantees are often used to encourage private sector participation in projects that are planned to be implemented with PPP. The guarantees given to the contractor firms in these models, which are used extensively in Turkey, are financial risk source for the treasury. Moreover, these guarantees that are given in foreign currency deepens the problem with movements in exchange rate against the Turkish Lira. In this paper, three projects that completed in recent years and the contingent liabilities of the treasury for these projects are evaluated in terms of financial risk.
