This study of MRT concessions policy is a background paper to a flagship study of infrastructure service provision in East Asia and the Pacific. It concerns the role of private concessions in developing urban MRT1 systems in East Asian cities. It is primarily founded on the experiences of Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Manila and the comparator cities London, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Private participation in infrastructure has taken two distinct forms in the developing world. The first model, applied primarily in Latin America, focuses on privatization of existing infrastructure assets. The second, applied largely in East Asia, focuses on retaining existing assets in the public sector but seeking private sector involvement to augment capacity through new greenfield investments.

Reduced NRW by 198 million liters per day (MLD), equal to 10 percent of total water production for the city at the start of the contract
Repaired more than 11,000 leaks
Replaced 119,000 customer meters
Avoided capital expenditure on alterna- tive water supply sources. Using typical benchmark costs, a new supply of 198 MLD could have cost around $200 million (compared to the NRW-PBC cost of $110 million)
Earned additional revenue from the sale of the water saved
In 1998, Kuala Lumpur, capital of Malaysia, faced a water shortage. Water had been rationed for 5 months. To end this situation, the Ministry of State for Water Supply engaged an operator under a performance-based contract (PBC) with the aim of reducing non-revenue water (NRW).
