flag Wales secured £1.14bn for infrastructure via a new funding model, avoiding PFI and projecting high returns.

flag Wales has secured £1.14bn in funding for major infrastructure projects, including a new cancer centre and road upgrades, using a homegrown investment model that avoids the UK’s controversial PFI system. flag The approach, allowing up to a 20% government stake, enables public returns to be reinvested, avoids long-term financial burdens, and boosts capital spending by 7.5%. flag Repayments are projected to peak at 0.4% of the day-to-day budget by 2028/29, with £100m in public funding expected that year, generating over £3 in returns for every £1 invested.
