4. Categorisation of Country Experiences
The TOR called for focus on funding models in Australia and in some transition economies, such as Malaysia, where considerable use has been made of private sector funding models for infrastructure development.
For the purpose of this report, the experiences have been reviewed in two types of jurisdictions – developed economies and transition economies. Included in the developed economy category, are the experiences in Australia, Ireland, USA and the UK. The review of funding arrangements in transition economies is based on a more general overview of aspects of relevance to the NZ situation, as some of the models are clearly not applicable to NZ.
