According to the new law, the National Prognosis Commission (CNP) is granted the status of “central unit for groundwork and attributing strategic investments projects made between the public sector and one or more private partners”.
The institution will be able to draft and initiate draft laws regarding public-private partnership investment projects, and will also assess the suitability and compatibility of said projects with the governing program.
Due to its new status, CNP will also issue or contract, in accordance with legal provisions, documentation to support the decision for starting a new project, and documentation regarding its assignment, respectively.
Employees of the institution will also have their base salaries raised by 15%, due to the increased complexity of their new attributions.
