Role of private finance in infrastructure gaps, and risks management - Matthe...OECD Governance
The document discusses the role of private finance in addressing infrastructure gaps and managing risks from public-private partnerships (PPPs). It notes that while the majority of capital spending is publicly financed, private finance has averaged £2.3 billion per year in investments. The National Infrastructure Plan from 2014-2021 anticipates 79% of £327 billion in investments will involve some private finance. Two-thirds of current PPP projects are in social infrastructure like hospitals, schools, and military facilities. The document also discusses state loan guarantees, financial market conditions, and allocating risks between the private sector, taxpayers, and consumers.
Innovative financing of transport infrastructure j. hensenEuropean Commission
This document is a speech manuscript for a presentation on the Danish State Guarantee Model for financing major transport infrastructure projects. The model involves establishing a state-owned company to oversee projects, raising loans guaranteed by the Danish state, and repaying debt through user fees. Key points made include:
- Denmark has over 25 years of good experience with this model financing major bridges and tunnels.
- It combines shifting funding from taxes to users, and from the state budget to off-budget investors, simply and with low costs.
- Major projects financed through this model include the Great Belt and Øresund fixed links, and the planned Fehmarn Belt link.
- EU support is important for cross-border rail

The objectives of the CENCE network were to connect renewable energy clusters across Europe and promote collaboration.
The document discusses the EIB's role in providing financing to ACP countries under the Cotonou agreement and considerations for its role post-2020. Key points of the Cotonou agreement for the EIB include the Investment Facility that provides financing with subsidized rates and risk coverage, and the Impact Financing Envelope for higher-risk projects. In practice, challenges include balancing development impact versus financial returns, limited technical assistance and presence on the ground. Options for post-2020 include building on what works well, prioritizing areas like climate change, increasing the Investment Facility endowment, and improving strategic synergies with other organizations.

This document provides an overview of the Investment Plan for Europe and the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI). Some key points:
- The Investment Plan aims to mobilize €315 billion in investments by providing an EU guarantee to the EFSI, which will support strategic investments through the EIB and EIF.
- EFSI will have two windows - one for infrastructure and innovation projects, and one focused on SMEs and mid-caps. It aims to address market failures and mobilize private investment.
- The Plan has three pillars: mobilizing finance, making finance reach the real economy, and improving the investment environment through regulatory and structural reforms.
- Tools under the Plan include
The document discusses community asset partnerships and limited liability partnerships as alternatives to conventional financing. It provides examples of how community partnerships can be used to finance development projects through pooling local resources and selling investment units to raise capital. By working together through these partnership structures, communities are able to undertake projects that would otherwise not be possible with traditional loans.
The strategic framework document outlines the Clean Energy Finance Corporation's (CEFC) goals and recent activities to transform clean energy investment in Australia. The CEFC has committed $2 billion to finance renewable energy, energy efficiency and low-emission technology projects. In 2015-2016, the CEFC committed $837 million to 15 direct investments and helped mobilize $2.5 billion total project value. It is now scaling its approach from individual projects to programs focused on local governments, community housing, and large-scale solar to further reduce emissions.
The document discusses infrastructure and its role in economic growth and development. It defines infrastructure and provides examples of what it includes at both a general and local site level. It also discusses the costs associated with infrastructure projects and provides examples of what £10 million could fund. The document advocates for local authorities to take a leading role in developing site-specific infrastructure to enable control and quicker resolution of issues. It poses questions for discussion around planning, infrastructure challenges, and funding/cash flow opportunities and challenges.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) provides financing to projects that promote European Union objectives. Due to risk aversion following the financial crisis, many infrastructure projects face difficulties obtaining financing. The EIB addresses this issue by providing long-term loans to both public and private sectors. It utilizes tools like loans, guarantees, and equity to support sustainable development and economic recovery in Europe. The EIB appraises projects based on their consistency with EU priorities, technical quality, and financial viability.
The document summarizes the European Investment Bank's (EIB) efforts to finance climate action projects outside of the European Union. In 2016, the EIB provided €19.6 billion for specific climate action projects, exceeding its 25% financing target and channeling €1.9 billion to developing countries. To further support the Paris Agreement, the EIB aims to increase its climate finance for developing countries to 35% by 2020. The EIB utilizes a variety of financial instruments and engages the private sector to maximize its impact through leverage, catalytic effects, and expertise. Several example projects financed by the EIB through loans, blending of funds, and fund-of-funds investments are provided.
1) The European banking sector remains fragile with low bank capital and high non-performing loans. Financial integration in the euro area is still low.
2) Completing the Banking Union with a European deposit insurance and regulations on sovereign exposures can help address these issues. Introducing "safe assets" may also reduce bank risk.
3) Progress on Capital Markets Union has been slow. Expanding capital-based pension systems and standardizing rules can help foster capital markets.
4) Reforms are needed to stabilize the euro area through more market discipline and risk sharing, but they must be designed to maintain proper incentives.

The financing structures typically involve an EPC contractor, export credit agency guarantees, commercial banks, and a local IPP project company as the buyer and borrower. Environmental and social due diligence is required for the largest projects classified in category A. CIRR interest rates and OECD guidelines are also referenced in regards to establishing financing terms for export credit agencies.
Session 4 - Presentation by Tatiana Chernyavskaya and Marko Van Waveren, UNIDOOECD Environment
This document discusses financing resource efficient and cleaner production (RECP) measures for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries. It finds that while bank loans are the main source of external financing for SMEs in EaP, many face challenges accessing loans due to collateral requirements, interest rates, and currency risks. The document explores alternative non-bank financing sources like leasing, supply chain finance, and energy service companies that could potentially improve SMEs' access to RECP financing. It recommends identifying and addressing hurdles in bank lending as well as investigating these alternative instruments and sources.

C3 - Geothermal reservoir management and sustainable useIceland Geothermal
This document discusses geothermal reservoir management and sustainable use. It begins by classifying geothermal resources as renewable but notes they have both renewable and non-renewable components. Production capacity is controlled by reservoir pressure decline, energy content, water recharge, and boundary conditions. Utilization causes pressure declines which impact flows, boiling, cooling, and chemistry. Long-term management requires monitoring direct and indirect impacts of production and reinjection to maintain pressure and sustainability. Numerical models are used to predict impacts and optimize production schemes. Case studies demonstrate how reinjection supports pressure and temperature. Sustainable development requires meeting needs without compromising future generations by maintaining production over long timescales through monitoring, modeling, and reinjection.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

A select set of project management best practices to keep your project on-track, on-cost and aligned to scope. Many firms have don't have the necessary skills, diligence, methods and oversight of their projects; this leads to slippage, higher costs and longer timeframes. Often firms have a history of projects that simply failed to move the needle. These best practices will help your firm avoid these pitfalls but they require fortitude to apply.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
