Globally there has been a move toward multi-source and alternative financing for infrastructure projects, spurred on by a reduction in bank lending and increased capital costs in the wake of post-financial crisis regulatory pressures. In Europe in particular, alternative and capital markets financing now represents over 50% of the total funding for medium to large corporates in some jurisdictions. This trend has to some extent been followed in the Australian market, which has seen a number of USPP and Australian domestic Term Loan B issuances and increased involvement of debt funds and insurance companies in recent financings.
Join our expert panel as they consider “where to next” for Australian infrastructure financing and discuss the opportunities arising from (and factors limiting the development of) a more diversified capital structure for local greenfield and brownfield assets.
