The net charges of public-private partnerships (PPP) fell in 2013 over the previous year, but there was an “unfavorable global deviation” of almost 85 million euros compared to the budgeted, according to UTAO.
In its analysis to the 2013 State General Account, to which Lusa had access today, the Technical Unit of Budget Support (UTAO) states that “face to that seen in 2012, in 2013 there was a reduction in net costs incurred with PPP “, EUR 99 million, which corresponds to a contraction of 9.3% year on year.
But despite the annual reduction in costs of PPP in 2013, the execution “had an unfavorable global deviation when compared with the initial budget estimate,” writes UTAO.
With regard to the total net charges, “the implementation of deviation was 84, 1 million (9.5%) “and this deviation” concentrated at the level of road PPP (61.9 million) and the health sector PPP (24.1 million). “
relation to road PPP, gross charges showed a higher implement budgeted at 83.8 million euros (were effectively paid 805 million, up from 721 million originally forecast), also having been higher revenues (were charged EUR 294 million instead of the 272 million budgeted).
With regard to health PPP, the State Budget for 2013 provided that represent charges of 377 million euros over the year, which turned out to be higher 24.1 million euros (6.4%).
Still, the burden of PPP decreased in 2013 over the previous year, a behavior that is mainly due to road PPP, whose charges net fell 24.4% in 2013 over the previous year to EUR 511 million, a nominal decrease of 165 million euros.
According to UTAO, this reduction of the net cost of road PPP was due, first, to a “reduction of 129 million euros in gross costs of road PPP” and on the other to an “increase of EUR 36 million in revenue from road PPP, including toll.”
However, and contrary to what was found in the road PPP, charges relating to the health sector increased 22.9% in 2013 year on year, reaching EUR 401 million, “which represents more than 75 million euros that expenditure in the previous year, “according to UTAO.
The independent technical support that parliament consider that this annual increase in costs of health care PPP was due to” increased clinical activity of hospitals in operation “and” operational the Vila Franca de Xira Hospital. “
” The increased clinical activity of health facilities resulted in an annual increase of respective charges by about 16% and the entry into operation of the new building of Vila Franca de Xira Hospital will result in a 62% increase in charges to the infrastructural aspect, “reads the note.
Already the PPP charges for rail sectors and security recorded annual reductions in 2013, but “less significant”: the burden on the railway sector fell seven million euros to 10 million and the security PPP fell by two million to 46 million in the case of PPP security area.
