Investing in Infrastructure – Exploring the Challenges to Effective Delivery
Belfast
Speaker: Adrian Judge
13th February 2013
WHY CREATE A GREEN INVESTMENT BANK?
• The Government has ambitious green targets, with a suite of policies in
place to support their achievement
• Even after these measures, finance-related issues will continue to limit the
scale and pace of the transition to a green economy
• The market challenge has been exacerbated by the impact of the global
financial crisis on bank balance sheets, and in particular on the market for
long-term project debt
• The Coalition Agreement of May 2010 committed to setting up a Green
Investment Bank
