TMP Consulting provided specialist financial consultancy advice for urban transportation projects in 3 cities in Indonesia during October 2012 – January 2013. The objectives of this consultancy are to further explore the possible Public and Private financing options for urban transport investments identified through Pre-Feasibility Studies in Palembang, Surakarta and Yogyakarta and to work towards ensuring a guarantee for investments.
