*green projects are SD (Sustainable Development)compliant infrastructure projects & investments thatimprove the real economy, local livelihoods,economic, social & environmental conditions of localpopulation. Its financing can usually be structured asproject finance (i.e., projecting future cash flows).
The World needs new financing solutions to support Green development
Business Case
● Private green projects face difficulties raisingcash because current financial costs significantlyimpact project’s profitability
● Green projects are not accessible to everyone andgo through expensive intermediaries, whichseverely limit the potential of the sector
● Some impact investors are reluctant to investinto green projects due to lack of transparency
● Alternative green financing solutions offerunattractive features such as:
○ Low / null / negative returns
○ Low liquidity (i.e. difficulty to exitinvestments)
○ No valuable security or credible surety
○ No proper data or realistic valuationmethodology for investments
Summary
High financing costs lead to cash issues* for projects, but the opacity of the sector does
not help to improve the current situation
