Infrastructure Advisory
Project Finance and Public-Private Partnerships
Despite warnings of fiscal cliffs and further pending political fights over budget proposal, infrastructure investment and development still remains a top priority for governments globally. Governments in the west will inevitably have to spend more money to bring about sustained economic improvement at the same time that rapid urbanization is putting pressure on emerging markets to develop critical new infrastructure. After all the need to replace ageing infrastructure is become more apparent in countries that developed earliest.
It is true of course that in this context governments and businesses are continually searching for new ways to finance their infrastructure and investment spending.
Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) and project finance offer affordable and practical solutions to the delivery of governments’ and businesses’ infrastructure and service needs. IPFA helps clients through the whole process starting with the development of their strategies and ending with the successful closing of their transactions.
Our Experience
IPFA has been standing at the forefront of the PPP strategies and project finance markets, demonstrating important developments in deal structuring and project implementation. We work with both governments and corporations to help them create effective partnerships which maximize value for money.
Our dedicated advisory team of talented professionals with strong Infrastructure and Technical skills deliver advice through our Zurich, Dubai and Athens offices. Each individual has a strong track record in providing advice across the infrastructure life cycle.
We have an extensive and successful track record of providing leading-edge advice to both governments and corporations and of structuring and arranging limited-recourse financing of private and public infrastructure projects.
How we can help
The importance of PPPs has been highlighted by the recent United Nations plan to develop an international PPP center. Achieving commonality across markets can facilitate capacity, competition and knowledge building and help relatively immature markets meet their infrastructure needs.
IPFA shapes both innovative and long term contractual arrangements for facilitating infrastructure development and providing public services by attracting private sector funds, expertise and motivation into areas that are normally the responsibility of government.
We advise either public or private sector organizations that require support in developing and managing large scale infrastructure projects across a range of sectors. We also advise on the long-term operation of assets and the creation of high performing organizations.
