Project financing of large infrastructure projects

Most countries in the region have virtually no market for non-bank infrastructure project finance, and in some cases project finance remains the domain of state-owned lenders. Until recently, a significant number of works of infrastructure have been funded through EU structural funds and public municipal resources. However, project stakeholders have been encouraged to include private investors in large infrastructure projects with a positive cash flow component.

The key reasons for the underdevelopment of project financing lie in insufficient project maturity and inability to develop projects to the level necessary to achieve bankability. Access to finance is one of the main reasons that infrastructure projects are not developing faster and the key stakeholders sometimes do not see a business case for financing. Moreover, lack of know-how and competence of key stakeholders require a complex multidisciplinary approach in order to guarantee project execution.
