According to the analytical credit rating agency (ACRA), 765 billion rubles were invested in projects based on public-private partnership (PPP) in Russia, which went through commercial closure by the end of 2022, which is the highest figure since 2018. In 2021, the volume of investments was measured at 532 billion rubles, according to a study published in March 2023.

As Vedomosti writes with reference to the ACRA report, the growth in investments in PPP projects in 2022 is associated with an increase in public investment in infrastructure.

According to them, such dynamics emphasize the relevance of the task of expanding the forms of attracting private investment in infrastructure projects.
