Financing infrastructure projects

EBRD promotes decentralized decision-making and financing

12

The trend in infrastructure finance in CEE

Sovereign-backed loans– Cheap but politicised

Municipality / central government loans– Self-financing independence for cities – Higher cost and burden on city debt book

Utility loans supported by cities– Off-balance sheet borrowing for the city– Need to be backed by PSC + MSA

Utility corporate loans or bonds– Self-financing independence for utilities– Entirely based on company creditworthiness / PSC

PPP/concessionaire loans– Private sector indebtedness

Poland and infrastructure finance (1)

1. Projects implemented and financed on the municipal budgets (loans and municipal bonds): Cheapest form of financing, competitive offers from commercial

banks, attractive funding from EIB (or financing on Euro markets)

2. Projects implemented and financed by municipal utility companies (off-budget financing, financing on the balance sheet of the companies) Reliance on the PSC and a municipal support agreement

more and more often utilised by public transport companies, municipal sewerage companies, local district heating companies

Often combined with EU grant funds

19

Poland and infrastructure finance (2)

3. Revenue bonds (off-balance) Revenue bonds are still rarely utilised due to the requirement

of the proper scale and rating of the project involved. Due to the specific structure (security over revenues), lack of

possibility of incurring additional debt, revenue bonds require long-term planning of financial needs.

Revenue bonds are addressed to municipalities/companies with large investment needs and a higher level of risk involved (requirement of maintaining a debt service reserve account).

Structuring of transactions, where many sources of revenues are involved, is more difficult – hence the preference of the market to change from revenue bonds to municipal bonds.

20

Poland and infrastructure finance (3)

4. PPP (depending on the structure, possibility of classifying off municipal/national budget) PPP has been to date rarely utilised, however the interest in

this form of financing is growing. It requires a thoroughly thought through structuring, balanced division of risks and long-term planning as well as implementation.

Hybrid PPP (involving EU grant funds) is a challenge of the new financing perspective.

5. Privatisation (mostly district heating sector) Successful wave of privatisations in late 1990s/early 2000s Second wave in 2011 with SPEC

invest throughout the region in ESCO type projects as well as district heating opportunities (privatisations, concessions, lease contracts).
