70% of this 13.6 billion USD project must come from the private sector. This is equivalent to nearly 9 billion USD.

This has discouraged private investors from putting money into BOT projects. That's why the Ministry has recommended several solutions. These include long-term bank loans and increasing profit share for private investors by 3%.
