The frequency of renegotiations in PPPs, especially in Latin America and Europe, has attracted attention from policymakers, scholars, and the public alike. Renegotiations broadly refer to any ex-post modifications in the PPP contract, and the outcomes of these renegotiations may include contract termination/nationalization, refinancing, and restructurings from bankruptcy. Studies show that slightly over half of transportation PPPs in Latin America and Europe undergo renegotiations, often creating multimillion-dollar contingent liabilities on government balance sheets.
