New Project Finance Methods: Securitization as a Game Changer in Funding Innovation
Project finance has long been a fundamental strategy leveraged by corporations and governments to secure large-scale infrastructure projects where the financing requirements exceed traditional funding methods. It enables the funding of such projects without primarily relying on the sponsors’ balance sheets by establishing a legally independent project company. As global infrastructure demands intensify, traditional project finance methods are now being enhanced by incorporating securitization.
This blending of project finance and securitization not only offers avenues to bridge funding gaps but also provides a diversified investment portfolio to investors.
Securitization, the process of combining various types of contractually debt obligations and selling their related cash flows to third-party investors as securities, promises enhanced liquidity and risk distribution for project finance endeavors.
By converting illiquid assets into tradable financial instruments, securitization expands the available credit for large-scale infrastructure projects.
