Infrastructure Finance Trends: Statistics and Commentaries

Infrastructure Projects- Setting the Scene

 Physical Infrastructure projects are ‘those services without which primary, secondary, and tertiary production activities cannot function’ Specifically capital-intensive facilities in:      Electric power (generation and distribution) Energy (refineries, pipelines, processing facilities, etc.) Telecommunications Transportation (ports, toll roads,railways, etc.) Water / Sewerage  The Input – technology, capital equipment, expertise are sourced mainly in the international markets and typically financed in international currencies.  The output (e.g., electricity, petroleum products) is sold primarily in the domestic market and paid for in local currency  The Debt/Bonds used to finance these projects are therefore exposed to 2 main risks  Devaluation – Reduction of USD value of cashflows below debt service levels.

 Convertibility – Risks that local authorities may block the exchange of local currency revenues into dollars or block currency transfers from the host country

7

The Infrastructure Situation at a Glance



Infrastructure investment – a 15-25 + year proposition that requires insight & foresight!



Governments –

adopting concessions/greenfield projects , PPPs vs. asset privatisations 

Sector Trends



Telecommunications:

strong cashflow from cellular services. Currently Private sector driven 

Power:

Poor cashflows due to sub-economic tarrifs and under-investment  Historically, cross-subsidised to benefit small residential consumers, implying politically difficult adjustment process to generate sustainable cashflows.  Private sector involvement without govt capacity support may be limited to independent power producer (IPP) projects servicing large customers (industrials, distributors, etc.) 

Transport:

 airports and shipping ports generate strong cashflow today.

 roads and rail networks generate limited revenues and may need govt transfers (shadow tolling).



Water and Sewerage:

good”.

limited cashflow in Emerging mkts viewed as the ultimate “public

Infrastructure Finance Trends

 Traditionally financed out of general government revenues  Trend in recent years for infrastructure to be financed on a project basis or for infrastructure projects to be purchased or developed by the private sector.

 Given the high initial capital costs of infrastructure projects, long-term financing is essential for privately owned infrastructure projects to be financially viable  Financing is now available from the private sector – in many instances with foreign private investors and creditors playing a major role  Key Growth Drivers   Privatisation- Govts adopting concessions/ PPP greenfield projects vs. asset privatisations Commodity related infrastructure e.g. Mining, “Infrastructure enablers” offered by Resource players    Improving Governance e.g. Pension fund and Policy reforms Private Equity Funds looking for higher yields (Reducing margins in Europe & Middle East Markets) Technology leverage

10

Evolution of Private Infrastructure Investment in Africa (1990 – 2007)

11

Breaking the Barriers to Sustainable Investment

Barriers to Sustainable Infrastructure Development

 Macro & Regional Barriers  The prevalence of inefficient monopoly providers (state owned)  Scarcity of investment spend because prices have been held below cost  Inadequate local expertise to structure long term Project financing  Lack of depth and defined yield curves in local debt and capital markets  Absence of incentive mechanism (fiscal tax etc) to encourage infrastructure financing  Governance and Management Barriers  Public Sector as equity holder is problematic. ( often essential to get other parties involved)  Appointment of concession holder due to political considerations which may not have right management experience for difficult initial stages of the project  May undertake project location and or management decisions on political considerations   Increase perceived commercial risks for debt finance Sovereign and Cross-Border risks

13

Critical Investment Barriers & Enablers CASHFLOW FINANCING Regulatory Framework and Macro Stability Equity and Management Tariffs / Fees / Tolls Bank Debt (Loans) and Capital Markets Debts (Bonds) Govt Supplements (MYTO?) Credit enhancements possible?

14

What is required to achieve sustainable development?

 Sponsors: Local parties to improve credit worthiness, corporate governance and management capacity  Banks: Innovative structures to project, corporate, and sovereign financings, with the aim of improving credit ratings for transactions:   Structures to mitigate the risk of devaluation, and Structure to facilitate the use of local debt and capital markets, which can provide financing denominated in the currency in which the project earns its revenues  Structure to breach the sovereign ceiling, which therefore permit the transaction’s (global scale) local currency rating to become its foreign currency rating  Governments: Strong institutional framework for protecting creditors rights and improved access to legal enforcement and remedy  Development Finance Institutions and ECAs: – – Country risk mitigation instruments (PRI & Gtees) Deepen depth of Africa capital markets (Credit enhancement for Debts & Bonds, risk participations etc)

Need for diversification of funding sources( Equity, Debt & Capital Markets) and mobilisation of long term investment from local and international markets

15

The Art of the Possible - Nigeria

 Homework is key       Generation Mix: existing capacity, existing IPPs,New IPPs Comprehensive policy for greenfield IPPs and privatisations Sector-wide Payment security mechanism and Nature of Sovereign Support Enabling Legislation, Permits and Approvals Ensure sector and tariff reforms lead to reduced reliance on payment support mechanisms Tie-in with Distribution Privatisation  Process & Packaging     Investor and Lender Roadshows Engage Advisors Comprehensive and transparent RFP Package Adherence to timeframe and deadlines  Don’t expect too much from the very first deals   Need to attract international investors and lenders Progressive shift in risk allocation

16 16

How Can We Help?

 Project Finance Advisory         Financial Modeling & Evaluation Structuring multi-sourced and multi-phase financing plan Managing Due Diligence Process Risk Allocation and Project Agreements review / mark up Preparation of Proposal Negotiations with Offtakers and Financiers Commercial Debt, Export Credits, B Loans, Debt Capital Markets Underwriting, Lead Arranging and Financial Close  Privatisation Advisory       Sector Strategy Risk Allocation RFP Preparation and Packaging Roadshows in Europe , Middle East and Asia Bid Evaluation, Negotiation and Selection Monitoring Financial Close

17 17

Summary

 We believe that Nigeria has a huge scope for value creating investment in infrastructure  But most African markets do not have sufficient tax and government revenues for pure public sector funding  Funding is not the critical barrier  Project finance remains available for well structured projects  Credit markets can dealing with currency and political risks, for bankable projects  Revenue is not generally the critical barrier  The Governments in Nigeria have started the broad policies and regulatory changes to support stable revenue streams  There are greater challenges associated with revenue transfer arrangements e.g. in water & sewerage, roads

A key management and institutional gap remains. This can be overcome by greater involvement of private equity and debt in financing of infrastructure
