Keeping in mind the poor results in the Limon Port City Project in Costa Rica, it might not be such a bad idea to give these kind of soft loans to private enterprise, who stand to to lose (or gain) if the project fails, and not the public officials who supposedly do a better job because they are not motivated by profit, but don't have the incentive to carry out their work either, because whether they do so or not, they will still get their wages paid at the end of the month. The economic impact of the implementation of the projects would be achieved just the same, and most importantly, the projects would definitely be finished.
