<strong>Project</strong> Scheme of <strong>PFI</strong><br />

In <strong>PFI</strong> projects, the government does not draft a direct contract with the companies that<br />

actually per<strong>for</strong>m the business functions such as the design, construction, operation <strong>and</strong><br />

maintenance, but instead, it only contracts with a project company that is referred to as a<br />

special purpose company (SPC). Figure 5 shows the general project scheme of the <strong>PFI</strong>. By<br />

establishing an SPC, the <strong>PFI</strong> project can be conducted without being influenced by the<br />

financial conditions of those companies that compose the SPC. Also, the SPC allows <strong>for</strong><br />

project finances, which is the general financing method of a <strong>PFI</strong>. Furthermore, the<br />

establishment of the SPC can contribute to the needs of the public sector, which wants to avoid<br />

a business risk other than the <strong>PFI</strong> as much as possible.<br />
