7. PwC
Trend: We think the financing source for infrastructure will increasingly transition
from bank debt to institutional investors. But governments and project sponsors need to
gain a clearer understanding the prerequisites needed for such a market to take root
There is a major need for large-scale
infrastructure projects around the world.
Capital markets’ and institutional investors’
involvement in financing infrastructure
projects will steadily increase.
There remains a great deal of confusion among
both governments and project sponsors about
how best to access financing for infrastructure
projects.
Demand for large-scale investment has
been complicated by the fiscal constraints
in many countries
The challenge is finding innovative ways for
value-adding infrastructure to be funded and
financed in a manner that is sustainable for
both governments and infrastructure users.
Project bonds and non-bank lending could provide
a flow of suitable highly rated assets direct
to pension plans and life insurance
companies.
Increasingly investors are showing willingness to
take on construction / greenfield projects.
Financing is still relatively
new and tied to the specific conditions
within individual markets.
The key issue is structuring and funding
projects to a level where they become
Financeable / bankable

Main issues & lessons learned to attract
institutional investors (e.g. pension funds)
It is unlikely that pension funds will invest
until key obstacles are overcome
Infrastructure still
regarded as a specialist
investment
Pension trustees &
investment advisors are
often not investment
experts
Failure to promote the
infrastructure
proposition
Lack of reliable business
models and business
plans
Miss-match between
geographic location of
funds and infrastructure
opportunities
Regulations & inflexible
investment policies
Illiquidity of infrastructure projects vs immediate
need for yield
Capital markets (e.g. infrastructure bonds
or specialised infrastructure funds) can
help fill the long-term financing GAP
• Strong and transparent political and legal
framework
• Develop programs with prioritized
investment opportunities
• Develop transaction skills
• Improve governance and transparency in
financial reporting
• Balanced tax and commercial policies
• Understanding investor appetite,
development of sectoral and geographic
focus
• Development of new sources and vehicles
for private finance
