Recommendation

Emerging countries desperately need infrastructure investment. But private lenders are often reluctant to step up because of the associated risks, especially of the political variety. This dense but informative World Economic Forum report analyzes how existing “risk mitigation instruments” could help correct the shortcomings in infrastructure finance and prod private sector lenders to help fund this critical gap. getAbstract recommends this revealing study to project financiers, investors and others interested in infrastructure finance.

Take-Aways

  • The developing world faces significant spending shortfalls, running into the trillions of dollars, for infrastructure projects.
  • Many international financial institutions (IFIs) shy away from such investments due to the risks they perceive with these projects.
  • IFIs issue “risk mitigation instruments” – credit guarantees and insurance contracts – to reduce financial losses should an adverse event, such as political interference, occur.
