INPP hails government support(3)

In its latest six-monthly results announcement, the listed UK infrastructure investment firm has applauded government programmes designed to ‘ensure that important public infrastructure is delivered in a timely and efficient manner’ – highlighting the UK and Australia in particular.

In the firm’s results statement covering the six months from 1 January to 30 June 2012, International Public Partnerships Limited (INPP) credits governments for taking action to keep infrastructure projects on track.

While claiming that the UK-listed infrastructure investment firm would not need to draw on the UK government’s £40 billion (€51 billion; $62 billion) guarantees scheme – announced in July – chairman Keith Dorrian nonetheless said the scheme was “a measure of the UK government’s commitment to ensure that adequate investment is made into the sector”.
