This book explores the potential for public banks to help finance
the expansion, democratization and sustainability of public water
services in Europe, with implications for public water financing
elsewhere in the world. Financing the UN's Sustainable Development
Goal 6 for water and sanitation will be enormously expensive and
will also depend largely on public water operators. Where will this
money to fund public water services come from? One option is public
banks. These state-owned institutions constitute just under 20% of
global banking assets, holding close to $50 trillion in assets.
Many public banks have explicit mandates to finance public water
management and related public goods, and they have been doing so
for decades. And yet, despite a resurgence of interest in public
banks, their roles and potential in funding public water services
have been largely ignored by researchers and policy makers. This
book aims to measure the scale and nature of interactions between
public banks and public water operators in the European region;
identify challenges and opportunities for deeper engagement between
public banks and public water operators; recognize promising
practices and how these might be transferred elsewhere in the
world; and assess possibilities for more democratic forms of public
bank and public water interactions. This volume will be of great
use to students and researchers interested in political ecology and
economy, development and cooperation, public policy as well as
water governance and management. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of Water International.
