Unlocking the next wave of digital infrastructure financing
The optimism that fuelled investment in digital infrastructure in the early 2020s has given way to sober reappraisal and caution among lenders.
In Europe and the USA, interest rates are now easing, and lenders must embrace the emerging opportunities, but with the right level of prudence and discipline. Corporate finance teams and equity sponsors will have to work harder to obtain financing at competitive rates from credit committees.
Lenders and credit committees meanwhile require greater certainty from infracos seeking finance. A structured framework allows for the consistent appraisal and comparison of different business models and assets.
PartnerLending teams, advisors and CFOs must understand credit committees' caution regarding future digital infrastructure investment, and work to rebuild their confidence.
Prepare to finance the next wave of digital infrastructure
Providing transparency and rebuilding confidence in a diverse range of asset classes will be a vital step if lending teams are to convince credit committees of the opportunities in digital infrastructure.
