📌 Monitoring PPPs in the EU IBAR Assessment
In the latest EU IBAR assessment on Albania, Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and concession contracts are identified as areas with significant exposure to corruption risks and institutional vulnerabilities.
The report stresses that anti-corruption efforts must deliver real impact, particularly in high-risk sectors such as public procurement, infrastructure, and PPP agreements.
From a governance perspective, PPPs raise concerns related to transparency, long-term fiscal commitments, and the need for stronger oversight mechanisms.
The EU therefore calls for enhanced transparency, fair competition, and effective ex-ante and ex-post monitoring of PPP contracts.
In this context, PPPs are increasingly seen as a key test of institutional integrity and the capacity to manage public resources responsibly.
