One role of government is to allocate funding for infrastructure or projects that the private sector is unwilling or unable to support. The question is usually where do you draw the line.

For example, the vast majority of road construction is paid for by the government. However, when it comes to longer distance highways, the public sector has learned that motorists are often willing to pay a surcharge to travel on faster modern highways.

How well do the private and public sectors work together in Hungary? What kinds of public funding are able for private sector investments? Next week I’m running an afternoon panel discussion on the topic, in cooperation with the Hungarian Ministry of Informatics and Communications, so please follow the link for further information and be sure to attend.
