The authors consider approaches and project initiatives of the G20 countries pertaining to the implementation of public-private partnership projects in the context of the adaptation of infrastructure projects to the Russian market (for the purpose of improving the quality and efficiency of the implementation of infrastructure projects in the Russian market).Methods. The methodological basis of this study includes works of Russian and foreign researchers in the field of public-private partnership and project financing. The authors use methods of scientific research (expert and comparative analysis, grouping and generalization) selected in accordance with the goals and objectives of the study as well as information publicly available on the official websites of the ROSINFRA platform and the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation.Results. Comparative analysis of foreign and national practices in the public-private partnership market makes it possible to identify a number of potential initiatives, including a new approach to the examination of infrastructure projects and proposals for attracting additional investment resources to the public-private partnership market. Adaptation of foreign competencies to the Russian public private partnership market will drive the transformation of the current PPP project model in Russia.Conclusions. Analysis of methods used by the G20 to assess and implement infrastructure projects based on public-private partnership makes it possible to formulate potential initiatives and proposals for improving approaches to the implementation of infrastructure projects based on public-private partnership in the Russian market and to determine the development vector for the national infrastructure project model.
