              The case follows the story of Brazilian business leader, Ricardo Semler, who took the family marine-pump business, Semco, to multi-national, multi-sector success.

                  Irish Schools: Sovereign Risk in Social Infrastructure PPP

                  By  Pierre Hillion,  Jean Wee,  Louis Paul
                  Add to cart award
                  In 2009, a Macquarie consortium won the tender to build six Irish schools under a public-private partnership programme. The work was financed mainly with debt, with only €50,000 of straight equity injected into the project. Payments from the Irish government were the sole source of revenue. However, the advent of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe put the government's ability to pay in doubt.
