Emerging trend in the global market is that…

Credit to projects declining while sovereign debt increasing

Traditional investor appetite/capacity has changed significantly and for the worse

Political, regulatory, and project risk matters more than ever

The supply of “easily” bankable projects is diminishing

… new approaches to project finance, risk mitigation and International Financial Institution support are needed

Legal protection and framework defining investor rights 63% of firms rated it a “deal-breaker” “Contract enforceability” “Clarity in market rules” [Brazil , Guatemala ] “Protection ‘to do business’ – labor laws, property rights; laws that work” “Enforceable exit strategy”

Payment discipline and enforcement36% of firms rated it a “deal-breaker” Both generation and distribution investors considered it important “We cannot fix it on our own” – government support essential “Worsening payment discipline – strong negative”

Guarantee from Government or Multilateral40% of firms rated it a “deal-breaker” “Support needed till the business becomes commercial” “Why should we take on the risk of a bankrupt business?” Interestingly not a determinant for success – mitigation is not an incentive

for default or mismanagement by government or sponsor
