Infrastructure Market & Sustainable Projects

The OECD forecast that global infrastructure

investment requirement by 2030 for transport,

electricity generation, transmission and

distribution, water and telecommunications will

be $70 trillion (€50 trillion)

Infrastructure Projects are the core of the

European plan to drag the “old continent” from

one of the most intensive periods of crisis.

During the last months we have assisted at a

strong impetus by the government of

different European Countries to attract private

investments in the infrastructure sector through

ad hoc legislation.

New Fixed Income products based on

infrastructure projects could attract large

institutional investors (i.e. Project Bond).

The concept of sustainability is a confluence of

solutions that support environmental as well

as social and economic needs and benefits —

the so-called "triple bottom line" goal.

The engineering profession has been delivering

technically superior solutions to meet Society'

needs and to protect the environment.

In recent years, there has been growing

recognition of:

finiteness of natural resource bases

increasing demands for services by a growing

population

need to support aging infrastructure

higher levels of regulatory requirements

limitations on funding sources for critical and

necessary infrastructure investments.

INFRASTRUTURE MARKET SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE

Over the next 10 years Europe will need a huge injection of capital into the continent’s

infrastructure network

The European Commission estimates an investment requirement of €1.5 trillion and €2 trillion by

the year 2020

An Attractive Market

matching of investors’ long term liabilities

New investment products to attract institutional

investors (i.e. Project Bond)

Superior risk-adjusted return based on low default

and high recovery rates

Low correlation to other corporate loans investment

strategies, offering valuable diversification

Favorable market conditions and timing for

institutional investors to enter the market

WHY TO INVEST WHO INVEST

Banks have dramatically decreased their available lending capacity due to the increased capital costs

Large market in need of significant debt supply which historical traditional lenders are no longer capable

of providing

Outside the bank financing there are new providers and instruments for infrastructure debt

During the last months we have assisted at a strong impetus by the government of different European

Countries to attract private investments in the infrastructure sector through ad hoc legislation

“Project Bonds” and Debt Products are a very interesting asset class for investors with a long term

horizon and keen on stable cash flows

Key investors for those instruments are: Insurance Companies, Pension Funds, Sovereign Wealth Fund:

Margins on infrastructure debt are at a historically high point and will remain elevated for the foreseeable

future due to regulatory pressures faced by the banking community

Power is in the hands of the debt providers: Opportunities to negotiate debt tranches with better

covenant and security packages, as well as interest rate and amortization profiles suited to the

institutional investors community

Asset class with strong attributes complementing institutional investors fixed-income investment
