Mayor, mayor, city president, Poland is increasingly being considered a developed country, not a developing one. In fact, it is sometimes positioned as one of the best economies in the world. This is great news for all of us , the result of almost 40 years of national effort. However, with such a promotion comes certain changes, and today I will discuss changes in the financing of public projects. You must know that European Union funds allocated to targeted development projects are slowly running out . This is because, as I mentioned, we are a developed country and as such we need to rebuild the financing of public projects. This film, addressed to local government units, and in particular to municipalities, will explain how to obtain financing for projects that serve residents without excessively burdening the local budget. Watch until the end and I will present you with a proposal for cooperation as a substantive organizer supporting the creation of a public-private partnership project. You ask, what is a public-private partnership? Public-private partnership is based on the Act of 19 December 2008 on public-private partnership and involves the joint implementation of a project based on the division of tasks and risks between the public entity and the private partner. The private partner in this arrangement is a domestic or foreign entrepreneur, and the public partner, quite obviously, is, among others, a local government unit. Your municipality, for example, could become such a public partner . The Public-Private Partnership Act imposes obligations on the private partner, such as implementing the project for remuneration, incurring costs for implementation and obtaining possible financing from a third party. On the other hand, the public entity has obligations related to cooperation in order to achieve the goal and that these obligations are implemented primarily by making its own contribution. Public-private partnership means there is no need to spend large public funds at once. transfer of key risks such as construction, operation, technological risk to the private partner, flexible project formula, because due to the financing model under the public-private partnership, the spending of funds is not burdened with strict regulations. There is no upper limit to the value of projects imposed by law, as is the case, for example, with public procurement. In other words, the scale of the project within a public-private partnership is limited only by the current need. Who are we?
