Review of Financing Schemes & Typology

The deliverable is the credit worthiness requirement of each financing scheme mapped generating the 5th typology. This objective is addressed through desk research (meta-analysis) and evidence research based on the BENEFIT database. It reports on the study of: (i) Government credit or equity (KIT); (ii) Private credits or equity from strategic investors. Strategic investors are defined as having a long-term interest in running the project and influencing strategic decisions about it (UAEGEAN, TRT); (iii) Private capital from conventional institutional investors or the public. The former group refers to investment banks, regular banks or other portfolio investors like pension funds or hedge funds (interest in the short or middle term yield and risk characteristics of their investment) (UAEGEAN, TRT) (iv) Specialized institutions for infrastructure investments. These are public (eg. the European Investment Bank (EIB)) and global infrastructure funds (eg. Macquary) (KIT, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON, FACULTY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING). This is the deliverable of Task 2.3
