PPP指导方针条款

预计PPP项目的融资需求

"通过股市和保险债券列表的形式,引入资本市场,是最近为解决PPP项目融资问题 而着重推出的融资措施之一,"派克森主任说。
"今后几年,我们期待推出大量的基础设施工程项目,我们确实希望各地银行向更 多PPP参与方和玩家扩展信贷服务,同样的,我们也需要更多的大型跨国企业联合 体,包括外国银行和资本市场投资我们的大型PPP项目。"他又说。
在这个部分,证券交易所主席乔斯·T·帕多表达了形成一个新的PPP公司(证券交易)名单的信心。

PPP Center, Philippine Stock Exchange sign MOA on Guidelines for PPP Listings

PPP Center, PSE sign MOA on PPP Listings panel discussion
The Public-Private Partnership Center together with the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to reinforce its collaboration for information sharing to implement the processing of listing applications. The MOA outlines the framework for cooperation and coordination between the PPP Center and the PSE in implementing the listing rules for PPP companies where the equities market is considered as an alternative source of funding in the development of PPP projects.
PPP Listing Guidelines
Dubbed as the Supplemental Listing and Disclosure Rules Applicable to a PPP Company, this new PSE product was launched on the trading floor with PPP Center led by its Executive Director Ferdinand A. Pecson, who rang the bell, signaling the opening of the PPP securities to investors.
With the supplemental listing and disclosure rules in place, a PPP company may apply for listing under the guidelines if it is a corporation with a PPP contract awarded or a Special Purpose Company (SPC) incorporated by the corporation or consortium holding a PPP contract. These companies are exempted from the minimum 3-year track record and operating history required by the PSE to list in its main board. The awarded PPP contracts should have at least a project cost worth Php5 billion. The company can only apply for listing when it has completed its construction works or a phase in the project. The life of the listed company is considered co-terminus with the project concession period, but with a minimum contract of 15 years.
Anticipating the financing demand for PPPs
PPP Center chief Pecson explained that the as the PPP program continues to rollout infrastructure projects of increasing scale and complexity, it is anticipated that the local banking sector will be entirely unable to absorb or support the demand for funding of PPP projects. In 2015, the PPP Center together with the PSE and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) embarked on several initiatives that assessed the Philippine capital market for PPPs.
“Accessing the capital markets through the listing of equities and issuance of bonds are some of the financing options currently being explored to address this funding issue,” Executive Director Pecson said.
“We expect a large number of infrastructure projects to be rolled out in the next few years. We actually see local banks spreading their lending services more widely among PPP parties/players. There is also an increased likelihood of conglomerates tapping into foreign banks and the capital market to fund large-scale PPP projects,” he added.
For his part, PSE Chairman Jose T. Pardo conveyed his confidence in the new listing product for PPPs.
“As you know, other territories have had this fund raising mechanism for some time. While we are only catching up, the timing is also ideal given government’s stance on PPP projects, as it committed to accelerate infrastructure spending. And with several PPP projects in the pipeline, we hope to see PPP companies tap the stock market for their capital raising exercise,” the PSE chair said.
PPP Listings rules explained
In a separate briefing on the PPP listing rules, a panel discussion was conducted with PPP Center Deputy Executive Director (DED) Eleazar E. Ricote, PSE Chief Operating Officer (COO) Roel Refran, and Securities and Exchange Director Vicente Graciano Felizmenio, Jr., of the Markets and Securities Regulation Department as resource persons. Members from the banking industry, construction and other PPP players were present during the briefing.
For his opening remarks, DED Ricote shared his expectations of the PPP listing.
“It is our hope that this framework will encourage eligible PPP companies to tap the financial markets, and broaden the investor base, allowing more people to pool their resources towards the successful operations and maintenance of PPP projects,” he sshared.
Meanwhile, in his closing remarks, PSE president Hans Sicat Hans expressed his optimism for the upcoming PPP listing applications.
“We agreed to help facilitate the process of listing applications under the PPP listing program. We hope that this initiative will further help PPP companies in terms of their view on listing on the PSE,” he said.
