What is a concession holder?

A concession holder is a legal entity delegated by the State, by the means of a concession contract, to have the responsibility of the finance, design, construction, operation and maintenance of a public infrastructure for a predetermined length of time.

On the date of expiry of the contract, ownership of and responsibility for the infrastructure reverts to the State. The advantage of the system, employed in many countries, is to have rapid growth in major public infrastructure projects whilst avoiding that the cost of the project is singly borne by the State budget.
