Learn how debt and equity can be used to finance infrastructure investments and how investors approach infrastructure investments! According to the OECD, the global infrastructure investment requirement for 2030 for transport, generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, and water and telecommunications amounts to 71 billion dollars.
This figure represents about 3,5% of annual global GDP from 2007 to 2030.
The European Commission estimated that by 2020, Europe will need between €1,5 trillion and €2 trillion in infrastructure investment.
Between 2011 and 2020, around €500 billion will be required for the implementation of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) programme, €000 billion for energy distribution networks and smart grids, €400 billion for transmission networks and energy storage, and 000 billion euros for the improvement and construction of new power plants.
Between €38 billion and €000 billion and an additional €58 billion to €000 billion in capital investment will be needed to meet the targets set by the European Commission for the spread of broadband.
Traditionally, investments in infrastructure were financed from public sources.
However, severe budget constraints and inefficient management of infrastructure by public entities have led to increased participation of private investors in the business.
The course focuses on how private investors approach infrastructure projects from the point of view of equity, debt and hybrid instruments.
The course focuses on the practical aspects of project financing: the most used financing techniques for infrastructure investments.
Repeated use of real life examples and case studies will enable students to link theoretical background to actual business practices.
By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze a complex transaction, identify the key elements of a deal, and suggest appropriate solutions for structuring the deal from a financial advisor's perspective.
