Infrastructure Finance
Through the Infrastructure Finance business division DEPFA has become one of the leading banks in the provision of finance and advisory services for infrastructure development throughout the world. This is a market which has seen strong growth and will continue to do so.
DEPFA is present in all the major markets with experienced and skilled locally based teams (supported where necessary from its major hubs in Dublin, London, New York, Tokyo and Hong Kong) who can originate and transact advisory and lending busines for private sector clients bidding for infrastructure and public-private partnership (PPP) concessions and for the acquisition of essential infrastructure assets being privatised (wholly or partly) by public sector owners in an effort to “monetise” the present values of future revenue streams and thereby generate an important alternative source of public funding.
In addition DEPFA’s newly established Structured Export Finance Team assists government, public and private sector clients in the financing of new infrastructure assets through the use of the credit enhancement provided by export credit agencies or multilateral development banks. These products result in substantial mitigation of political and commercial risks. Moreover, the insured part of the loan, being sovereign-backed is eligible for DEPFA’s cover pools. In this way DEPFA can assist clients with infrastructure development in countries which may not yet be investment grade but which have good potential for growth.
Furthermore, as a result of the integration of the experienced project and asset finance teams from Hypo Public Finance Bank into DEPFA’s Infrastructure Finance team, DEPFA also brings to its clients advisory and lending products covering energy (including oil and gas), and asset finance (for example, aircraft, rolling stock and ship finance).
In all of these activities DEPFA adheres to its credit focus of providing funding and advice for “essential” assets and infrastructure which are important to the success of the national and regional economy.
