Private investments to infrastructure sector is said to enable recipient governments to gain financial benefits through two ways. First, they can construct and operate economic infrastructure that is essential for economic growth without additional fiscal burden Second they can reduce investments to economic infrastructure, which may allow significantly increase in allocations for other uses such as health, education and environment (Desai and Brooks, 1997). This paper conducts an empirical analysis on whether governments in Southeast Asia has gained such fiscal benefits. It makes it clear that Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines has saved some of their budget for economic infrastructure, despite the large differences in the amount and the way of allocation. But the empirical analysis finds private investements has adjusted fiscal structure only in the Philippines, because of the differences in the background and the purpose of private investments. This implies even if recipient governments save fiscal burden to economic infrastructure, they do not automativally allocate it to other uses.
