Project bonds and energy transition: a proven financing solution

The stricter monitoring/disclosure and liquidity requirements faced by banks in the wake of the global financial crisis mean that projects can often no longer be funded by traditional bank debt alone. The debt capital markets have stepped up to the challenge and project bonds are on the rise, particularly amidst the green finance boom. Whilst the specific challenges that project bonds pose when used in a project financing arrangement are complex, they are by no means insurmountable and with the help of experienced professionals, project bond financings can be structured in a way that offers a viable alternative solution.
