Private Finance Initiative (PFI) projects are suffering the same way as any other, law firm Eversheds has suggested.
A report has highlighted the fact that the government could have to bail out PFI projects to the tune of around £4 billion in the next 18 months.
Adrian Turner from Eversheds, said: "PFI projects, with their reliance on private sector borrowing are feeling the effects of the recession in the same way as everyone else.
"Despite this, the picture is not all doom and gloom. There remains considerable private sector interest in PFI, particularly in the major programmes such as BSF, and projects are closing."
He added that if PFI are to play a "full part" in the recovery of the UK economy, then "the government may need to provide further security" to assist with the smooth flow of credit.
Sunday Times columnist Joan McAlpine has predicted that the UK's total PFI cost figures run to around £216 billion and is likely to continue rising.
