• Understanding debt consolidation rules
• Public / private partnerships’ main
objective is not to manage public debt
• Assessment of sovereign risk is a key point
when analysing infrastructure projects

A Banker’s view

• Public / Private financing decision
• No political consensus on usage of PPP across countries
and political forces
• Stable deal flow required to maintain visibility
expertise, teams, liquidity and investors’ appetite
• Sound and stable regulatory framework is key
• Transparency / understanding / acceptability of the
model by the public sector and the populations
• Contracts need to be balanced (risk sharing)
• Education / competence of all parties involved
• The transaction does not end at signing of the Public /
Private contract: sound and fair management of the
contract over time

• Regulatory environment for banks and investors significantly impacts the amount of liquidity
available for infrastructure projects (Basel 3-4, Solvency 2, etc.)
• Infrastructure consists of long term assets and long term funding availability is a key element of
the viability of infrastructure projects
• Facilitation of long term financing can be sought (repo / refinancing solutions, permit different
pools of liquidity, FX provisions, etc.)
• Limited liquidity for volume, traffic or merchant risk. Consider backstop provisions to mitigate
the risk and increase the liquidity available for these projects?
• Better use of public funds available for the sector / Understanding of the financial markets is key:
• Understanding of rules and regulations imposed to the financial sectors (Basel, Solvency
etc.) when seeking use of private funds for new infrastructure projects
• Assess necessity to inject funds from public / sovereign institution in a context of abundant
liquidity
• How can public funds be used as seed capital to develop new infrastructure markets?

• Traditional infrastructure needs will remain high but the main challenge of Infrastructure
Financiers in the next years will be to finance the transition to a low carbon economy
