This series takes a fresh, sometimes challenging, look at some of the issues facing the actuarial profession and society
The ‘think’ series aims to promote debate on topics across the spectrum of actuarial work and beyond. It looks to provide a platform for members and stakeholders to share views that may differ from the IFoA’s ‘house’ view.
Through this, we hope to challenge the status quo within the profession, question orthodoxy, and shine a light on complex or under-examined issues. At its heart, the series is about stimulating discussion and dialogue to help tackle issues from a different perspective.
Our sixth publication in the ‘think’ series has been authored by Chris Lewin, Chair of the IFoA Infrastructure Working Party.
This piece highlights that there is currently no standard mechanism in the UK for investing in infrastructure through public-private partnerships (PPPs). As a result, Chris argues that a new system of PPPs should be created. These would be simpler than previous versions and would enable strong collaborations that harness the different strengths of the public and private sector partners.
Read the compete publication to find out more about how this proposal can help boost investment in infrastructure projects by pension funds and insurers to unlock economic growth and meet the needs of communities across the UK.
