The purpose of the study is to assess the level of government support for Public – Private Partnership (PPP) in Asian countries, identify the main factors affecting it and assess their impact on the implementation of PPP projects. The study covers 15 Asian countries. As a methodological basis, the PPP Government Support Index (GSI) was developed and calculates according to five criteria: regulation, institutions, maturity, investment and business climate and financing. Different initial data were normalized to a single 0-2 scale, and measurements were combined with the corresponding weight. The stability of the index was tested using alternative weighting scenarios. The results showed that there are significant differences in the level of government support for PPP among Asian countries. The stability analysis showed that the relative positions of countries are largely maintained. The results of the study show the importance of improving the institutional and regulatory environment, the investment climate and financing mechanisms in improving the effectiveness of PPP. The updated GSI framework offers a functional and analytically sound instrument for assessing government support programs, pinpointing policy discrepancies, and overseeing focused approaches to enhance PPP management and infrastructure growth in Asia.
