KBRA Europe Releases Project Finance and Infrastructure: European and UK 2022 Outlook

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA Europe (KBRA) releases its 2022 outlook for the European and UK project finance and infrastructure (PF&I) sector, and examines certain emerging themes to likely take centre stage in 2022. While the rollout of transactions in new PF&I sectors is attracting private placement and capital market interest, their development will face challenges, including not currently reaching the scale demanded by market participants.

Key Takeaways:

• Renewable energy finance (both traditional and newer technologies), telecommunications, accommodation infrastructure, and transport esoteric asset classes are likely to represent the main areas of growth in 2022.
• Transaction size, underlying market (price and volume) risk, and obsolescence may crimp bankability for newer asset classes.
• Rising inflation, commodity volatility, and recovery from COVID-19 will have varying impact on the PF&I sector in 2022.
