Remarkably, given the media coverage, some contracts expire when their allotted time span
has run its course. The Yerevan and Tirana contracts have been in turn replaced by successor
contracts. Such events are a healthy reminder that a concession is not forever, it is in effect a
slice of time and for a further slice to be gained, the contract has to have its evident charms for
both parties. This will become a more regular feature in future years as the more contracts
there are, the more contracts will in time end and the longer PSP is in operation, the more
contracts will reach their expiry date.
