Initiative 1: Market consultation on port privatisation

This was achieved by providing the public authority with an opportunity to cross-check its thinking with the private sector, including contractors, equity investors and port operators.
Initiative 2: Data collection and high-level study on private long-term finance for infrastructure
Initiative 3: Benchmarking study on foreign currency exchange risk mitigation strategies
