Financing infrastructure in developing countries

Abstract

Institutional investors are keen to find ways to direct capital into the emerging economies and this interest varies by country and sector. However, significant barriers remain that characterize the mismatch between investor objectives and development needs. Possible solutions may involve increased opportunities for direct investment; purchases in the secondary market of securities of large, listed companies particularly in financial, telecoms, and energy companies; involvement in private equity and credit transactions; use of impact funds; and structures using blended finance. The big question is one of timing. When will conditions be right, what opportunities may arise, and will business conditions be sufficiently attractive to private capital? These are questions that perhaps only governments can address.
