Scottish Futures Trust
The Scottish Futures Trust (SFT) is an executive non-departmental public body of the Scottish Government,[1] established in September 2008 to improve public infrastructure investment. SFT operates at arm's length from the Government but works closely with the public and private sectors to deliver value-for-money on all public sector infrastructure investment across the country.
Background
[edit]In their manifesto for the 2007 election, the Scottish National Party (SNP) proposed the Scottish Futures Trust as an alternative to PPP/PFI, encouraging greater use of public bonds, to access to lower-cost borrowing.[2] It was a solution conceived to allow the devolved administration to gain some leverage around private sector investment.[3]
