Since 2005 investment total has reached KRW 12.4 trillion 4. BTL Performance
1. Change in Educational Environment • Enrollment Ratio / No. of students per classroom • Space per student
2. Investment Needs in Schools • If public investment until 2005 in school had been maintained, it would have taken over 20 years to rebuild schools of more than 30 years old 100% Rebuild Ratio 5% More than 20 years 2025 (?) 2005
3. Finance Prospects and BTL • Fiscal Prospects • Expenditure side : Increasing fiscal demands in social welfare, social infrastructures, education and fiscal stimulus package to cope with economic downturn • Revenue side : Tax cut and revenue decrease as a result of economic downturn (2009 Growth rate : 5% (e)→ 0.2%) • Investment needs in schools • New schools for newly developed cities : approximately 100 schools per year • Continuous renovation demands for dilapidated schools • BTL as an alternative investment
Introduction (2005) Stabilization (2006∼2008) Advancement (2009∼) • Set up PPP unit • Provide guideline • Feedback • Standardize LCC • Improve business structure First application in schools 4. BTL Investment • Investment Principle • In principle, new schools are constructed under the BTL scheme • Rebuilds or extension of old schools should be judged by fiscal status of provincial / regional education offices • BTL lease payments should be within the range of 2% of total government expenditure budget • BTL introduction and progress
5. Roles of Educational Authorities in BTL • Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST) • Distribution of government finance/BTL, Approval of BTL Investment plan, Guidelines on school facility projects • Provincial/Regional Education Office (PEO/REO) • Set up investment plan (local assembly review), enforcement of plans • School Establishment and Operation • Secondary school : PEO • Primary school : REO • Finance • MEST : building new schools • PEO: rebuild, extension, operation
6. BTL Process in Education PEO School facilities investment plan Approve MEST • Student accommodation plan Consult Request for Proposal (RFP) EDUMAC/PIMAC • Performance & servicesrequirements • Appraisal methods for business proposals • Management of risks VFM (Value for money) TEST consign EDUMAC consign Appraisal of business proposals EDUMAC • Plans on design/construction/operation • Method of management, cost, risk control Consult EDUMAC/PIMAC Negotiation/Agreement • Settlement on design/construction/operation • Settlement in project cost/condition Monitoring • Maintenance & management
[Ref] EDUMAC(Educational Facilities Management Center for Private Investment) • Established in June 2006 within Korea Educational Development Institute • Aims : Enhancing education service quality by developing educational facilities • Key functions • Research on policies of educational facilities • Developing working manuals and guidelines for school BTL projects • Conducting VFM TEST / evaluating private proposals / consulting negotiations and contract agreements • BTL education and PR
7. Features of BTL Projects • Bundling • Economies of scale is achieved by bundling 3~5 schools as one construction unit • KRW 30 ~ 50 bn Investment amount • Business scope of SPV • Construction : design, construction, supervision • Operation : security, maintenance and repair • Financing • Monitoring and Performance evaluation Self Evaluation Inspection Appraisal • SPV ⇒Weekly/Monthly • Local Agency ⇒monthly • Appraisal committee ⇒quarterly
7. Investment in Schools (2005-2009) • Elementary, middle and high schools : 880 schools • Public Investment (PI) : 203, BTL: 677 • KRW 8.0 trillion (PI: 2.0, BTL: 6.3) • University dormitory : 33 schools, KRW 0.7 trillion • University : 2 universities, KRW 0.6 trillion
8. Investment Needs in Education • Needs for new schools • In 2010, 45 schools will be built under the BTL scheme
[Case 1] Shindorim High School • Combined facilities • School + Gymnasium (1.7 bn) + Library (1.6 bn) financed by local government • Merits of Combined facilities • Maximize land usage • Maximize Private creativity and efficiency • Enhance local residents’ welfare and quality of school facilities • Cost reduction
[Case 2] Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology
[Case] Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology • History • 01/2006 : Established UNIST Project Organization • 02/2006 : Decided to establish UNIST • 03/2007 : Announced the UNIST BTL facility plan • 10/2007 : Signed the UNIST BTL project contract • 11/2007 : Commenced construction • 03/2009 : Constructed 1st stage buildings • 02/2010 : 2nd stage buildings construction expected • 06/2010 : 3rd stage buildings construction expected • Key features of UNIST BTL • Land space : 1,028,200 ㎡ • Building space : 154,659 ㎡ • Investment total : KWN 223 bn • Operation Period : 20 years
8. BTL Performance Appraisal(Survey Results on design quality) • Method of appraisal • Government-financed schools (GFS) : 21 applicants for Good Facility School Contest by MEST in 2006 • BTL schools : 90 schools in 2006 ※ Appraisal scale : 5 points (very satisfied / satisfied / ordinary / poor/ very poor) < Site Plan> < Floor Plan >
8. BTL Performance Appraisal(Survey Results on user satisfaction) • Method of appraisal • GFS : 7 schools opened after 2005 • BTL : 7 schools opened after 2007 • ※ Appraisal scale : 5 points • (very satisfied / satisfied / ordinary /poor / very poor)
9. Challenges Ahead • Financial Crisis and business practice • Aversion of Long-term investment commitment due to Global financial crisis • Development in project financing necessary • Excessive proposal costs and low competition • High cost for making business proposal and low profit structure lead to low competition Increase compensation for proposal costs and simplification of proposal • Operation and Performance Evaluation • 816 schools are operated by BTL SPV as of 2009 • Develop Real-time BTL Facility Management system • Good maintenance and fair performance evaluation • Resolution of Conflicts between authorities and SPV
1. Clear and detailed regulatory frameworks • PPP is an unfamiliar and complicated process compared to traditional public service provision • Many stakeholders involved in a BTL project have different interests and expectations • Uncertainties and doubts at the initial stage Legal Frameworks Law Presidential Decree MOSF Guideline Manuals on VFM, proposal assessment, and operation and monitoring, BTL Model Contract Agreement etc.
2. Government Support and Policy Determination • Sluggish progress in the early years since 1994-> only 5 projects had been started in the first 5 years • In 1998, broad-scale revision of PPI Act • Minimum Revenue Guarantee (MRG) was introduced to induce PPP investment • Introduced various project types e.g. BTO, BOT, BOO • PPP unit was established • Introduced social infrastructure fund Before revision (1995-1997) After revision (2007) investment 0.3 trillion 3.0 trillion PPP/GF in SI 3.9% 17%
3. Special Organizations for PPP • PPP units in governmental organizations are essential • Organizations manifest policy determination • Organizations are critical to maintain institutional capacity • Role allocation between Finance Min. and Research Institutions • Legal frameworks and policy for PPP → MOSF Divisions • Technical guidelines and working manuals → Research institutions • Central and local government → KDIPIMAC • Each line ministries → e.g. EDUMAC (MEST)
4. Development of Financial Industry • Private finance is heavily dependent on the degree of financial industry development • Long-term project financing is still on the verge of burgeoning in Korea • Financing practice in banking sector is still dependant on secured loans rather than project financing • Governmental Guarantee for PPP investment can be powerful tools to supplement the weak financial industry • Direct government guarantee: Indirect credit guarantee: MRG (before 2006) SOC Guarantee Fund
5. Fiscal Integrity • Strict Management of Total Government Expenditure for PPP • National Assembly Approval as to Annual BTL ceiling since 2009 • 2% Rule • Government expenditure for PPP should be limited to 2% of total Annual budget • Current estimation • 1.0%(2009) → 1.7% (2015) → 1.8% (2020) * Government expenditure for PPP : Lease payment for BTL projects, Land acquisition cost for BTO, Construction subsidy and MRG
