Message from the Representative



Office Kumagae will deliver services based on the latest concept of public-private partnerships.

Japanese state and local governments seems to have a belief that only less governmental restrictions can activate private investment, however this is already an old fashioned idea in PPP international market.

In addition, Japanese private sector tends to forget the purpose of establishing a special purpose company (SPC), and often does not disclose the balance sheet information of the operation to the client, it is against the principle of the international PPP standard model.

These are another Galapagos syndrome in Japan.

Specific Benefits of PPP model are born from the efficient management with limited resources, which can be structured only within the optimum risk allocation between Public and Private Stakeholders.

Assessment of the risk allocation will be done by lenders who take project risks through Due Diligence; Risks are varied depend on the features of the projects and inter-related each other, therefore identification of the risks and appropriate distribution of the risks among stakeholders are essential factor for the project success.

Office Kumagae will carry out our advisory service using the wisdom of mankind regarding PFI/PPP through last 20 years to establish multple WINS among all stakeholders who are involved in the PPP Project.
