Public Infrastructure Funding & Financial Structuring

Connecting service obligations and public constraints to an appropriate funding route.

Understanding The Mandate

Is the repayment obligation supported by an identifiable, lawful and credible payment mechanism?

Government Advisory & Infrastructure Development

Public projects may have a sound economic purpose but generate revenue differently from commercial assets. Availability payments, public budgets, user tariffs, grant support and the financial standing of the contracting authority all affect whether a structure can be financed.

AFII considers how payment obligations arise, how they are evidenced and whether financing belongs on the public body's balance sheet, within a project vehicle or in a commercially distinct arrangement. The implementation route must respect procurement, public-debt and accounting rules; these matters require jurisdiction-specific professional review.

The Issues That Matter

What The Structure
Needs To Address.

Each mandate needs a different balance of structure, commercial judgement and execution. These themes explain the practical issues that usually shape the work.

1

Identify the payer

An economic benefit does not necessarily create a financeable cash flow. Budget and payment mechanisms should be established explicitly.

2

Allocate risk with care

Demand, construction, policy and availability risks should rest with the parties best able to manage them.

3

Connect funding and delivery

Bankability requires procurement, operating duties and the intended source of repayment to agree.

A Practical Perspective

Work From The
Underlying Facts.

Nothing replaces the review of contracts, financial information and the particular circumstances of the borrower, project or investment. Each engagement remains specific to the transaction, counterparties and jurisdiction involved.
