Question 5: What is the difference between PPP and franchising? Franchising is divided into two major categories, *** franchise (Concession) and commercial franchise (Franchise). Franchise in the field of project financing specifically refers to *** franchise. When private enterprises participate in the provision of public products (services), they usually require authorization from the government.

In the "Infrastructure and Public Utilities Franchise Law (Draft for Comments)" (Draft on May 3, 2014), franchising refers to "people at all levels choose the People's Republic of China in accordance with the law" * Sign agreements with domestic and foreign corporate legal persons or other organizations to authorize corporate legal persons or other organizations to construct and operate or operate specific infrastructure and public utilities within a certain period and scope, and to provide public * products or public * services Activities. ”

The key point of the *** franchise project is that private enterprises engaged in providing public *** products (services) must obtain *** authorization. The essence of PPP is to purchase public products (services) from the society, which can generally be divided into: service outsourcing (for example: garbage removal services), franchising (for example: sewage treatment projects), privatization (for example: Coal-fired power generation projects) three types, not all PPP projects must obtain *** authorization.

Licensing generally refers to business activities that must be subject to administrative approval according to laws and regulations.

Administrative licensing business items: those stipulated by laws, administrative regulations or the State Council, the establishment of an enterprise must be reported If approved, or the business scope of the enterprise falls within the laws, or administrative regulations, or the State Council stipulates that the project must be approved before registration, the pre-administrative license shall be based on the pre-registration administrative license catalog compiled and published by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. .

Question 7: What are the municipal utility franchise projects?

The "Municipal Utility Franchise Management Measures" promulgated in March 2004 stipulates: "Municipal Utility Franchise Management Measures" Public utility franchising refers to *** selecting municipal public utility investors or operators through market competition mechanisms in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and specifying that they operate certain municipal public utility products or provide certain services within a certain period and scope.

The scope of franchising in the municipal public utility industry includes: urban water supply, gas supply, heating, sewage treatment, garbage disposal and public transportation, etc. that are directly related to the interests of the public and involve limited public companies. ***Resource allocation industry.

Question 8: What types of projects do franchise financing projects refer to? Don't quite understand. Please give an example. Concession project financing is an increasingly popular and important financing method suitable for large and medium-sized projects such as infrastructure, public utilities and natural resource development. BOT, PFI and PPP are typical models of concession project financing. The project financing mentioned here specifically refers to project financing in the narrow sense, that is, "financing through projects", rather than "financing projects" in the broad sense. There are many models of project financing. The most popular and familiar one is BOT, which stands for build-operate-transfer. It refers to authorizing foreign or private investors to carry out projects (mainly through concession agreements). It is the financing, design, construction, operation and maintenance of infrastructure and natural resource development). It charges fees to the users of the project within the specified concession period (usually 10 to 30 years), thereby recovering the investment, operation and maintenance of the project. Maintenance and other costs will be paid and a reasonable return will be obtained. After the expiration of the concession period, the project will be handed over (usually free of charge) to ***.

Since BOT was first used in the privatization process of Turkey’s public infrastructure in 1984 by Turkish Prime Minister Turgut Ozal, it has attracted widespread attention and application from countries around the world, especially developing countries. It is a solution for large-scale A popular method of project financing. In our country, BOT is a means for governments to attract foreign investment or private capital to speed up domestic infrastructure construction by signing concession agreements with foreign or private businesses. Therefore, it is also often called "concession or franchise bidding" or "corporate bidding". ". The BOT model has three basic forms: BOT, BOOT (build-own-operate-transfer, build-own-operate-transfer), BOO (build-own-operate, build-own-operate), and BT, BLT and ROT. , TOT and more than ten evolved forms.

Another popular model in project financing is ABS, which is asset-backed/based securitization (asset-based securitization), which refers to the use of assets that lack liquidity but can generate predictable and stable cash. The process of gathering together flowing assets, separating and reorganizing the risk and return elements in the assets through certain arrangements, and then converting them into securities that can be sold and circulated in the financial market. ABS is a new method of asset realization that first emerged in the United States in the 1980s. Depending on the type of asset, there are mainly credit asset securitization (securitization based on credit assets) and real estate securitization (securitization based on real estate such as real estate). Securitization of basic assets such as infrastructure and real estate). Compared with BOT, ABS sometimes has more advantages. For example, some infrastructure projects that are not suitable for BOT due to certain considerations, such as important railway lines and large-scale power plants, can use ABS.

Follow With the development of project financing, another word is PPP (public-private partnership, public-private partnership/joint venture), but in our country, because state-owned enterprises are independent accounting legal persons, they can or have participated in many projects as non-public departments, so , PPP is more accurately translated as "government-enterprise partnership/joint venture") is becoming more and more popular, especially in Europe. The term was first proposed by the British government in 1992. It refers to the signing of a long-term agreement between the government and private companies, authorizing the private companies to build, operate or manage public infrastructure on behalf of the government and provide public services to the public. *Serve. It can be seen that PPP is essentially similar to BOT, but PPP has a broader meaning and reflects a broader public-private partnership relationship, in addition to infrastructure (roads, railways, subways, tunnels, bridges, airports, ports, communications, power supply/water plants, sewage/waste treatment plants, etc.), natural resource development (mining/oil/gas, treatment/smelting plants, pipelines, etc.), and also includes public service products/institutions (such as post offices, hospitals, schools, theaters, privatization of sports stadiums, prisons, police stations, etc. (the latter is called private finance initiative, PFI in the UK). However, compared with BOT, PPP places more emphasis on ***’s participation in the project (such as holding shares), and more emphasis on ***’s long-term cooperation with the enterprise and giving full play to their respective advantages, with *** sharing the benefits and *** Risk and Social Responsibility.

Concession Project Financing (BOT, PFI and PPP) Introduction Project financing has many advantages. For ***, it can reduce ***'s financial burden and speed up the development of infrastructure...>>

Question 9: Who is the "franchise project investor"? Aren’t people the owners? Franchise project management method refers specifically to the fact that some governments will hand over some planned urban infrastructure projects to professional investors for investment and construction, and grant franchise rights for a number of years after the project is completed, so that they can recover the project investment through operation. and proceeds will be recovered and managed by ***. Among them, professional investors are franchise project investors or franchise owners. ***The department selects franchise project investors through bidding. Franchise project investors can be private enterprises or state-owned enterprises. Private enterprises plan their own project construction funds, with part of their own funds and part through bank loans (internationally known as BOT); state-owned enterprises also plan their own project construction funds, with part of their own funds and part through bank loans. *** can invest part of the funds, but *** will not participate in the operation and recycling project investment and income (internationally known as PPP).

Therefore, franchise project investors are different from general contractors. The project belongs to ***, but he is the planner of the construction funds, the investor of the project, the implementer of the project, the project operation manager, the interest and loan repayment of the project, the recovery of project income, and the transfer of the project after the expiration of the franchise Give*** .

That is to say, franchise project investors can build, produce or provide projects on their own according to law, so they do not need to invite bids; conversely, when the above conditions are not met, they must also invite bids to select contractors; general contracting projects are temporarily If the projects involved in the valuation meet the bidding standards, bids must be invited. This is where general contractors differ from franchise project investors.
