Public-Private Partnership for the Iranian Law in the Perspective of Iran Provision.

The mechanism of public-private partnership (PPP) has been used in different countries. Many countries have enacted special laws to regulate PPPs. In Iran، PPP as such has been briefly mentioned in the Fifth Five Year Development Act and more details of PPPs were provided in the yearly budget acts of 1391 and 1392 (2012 and 2013). In the Budget Act of 1393 (2014) the detailed provisions regarding PPP have been eventually removed from that Act as being regarded by the Guardian Council of Constitution as having a permanent nature and could not be mentioned in a yearly budget act and therefore no detailed regulations regarding PPP are now effective. In this paper we review all laws and regulations so far enacted for PPP to see to what extent they could create a stable situation for the private sector to participate in state and public projects.
