Quotes-start.png P3s offer the government the ability to privatize public assets. This eliminates the day-to-day costs of operation while improving local services and infrastructure. There remain significant opportunities for future P3s that could collectively eliminate up to a quarter of their debt. These include other roads, airports, seaports and utilities. Privatizing just the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority and the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority would eliminate $15 billion of government debt alone. Quotes-end.png
