*green projects are SD (Sustainable Development)compliant infrastructure projects & investments thatimprove the real economy, local livelihoods,economic, social & environmental conditions of localpopulation. Its financing can usually be structured asproject finance (i.e., projecting future cash flows).

The World needs new financing solutions to support Green development

Business Case

● Private green projects face difficulties raisingcash because current financial costs significantlyimpact project’s profitability

● Green projects are not accessible to everyone andgo through expensive intermediaries, whichseverely limit the potential of the sector

● Some impact investors are reluctant to investinto green projects due to lack of transparency

● Alternative green financing solutions offerunattractive features such as:

○ Low / null / negative returns

○ Low liquidity (i.e. difficulty to exitinvestments)

○ No valuable security or credible surety

○ No proper data or realistic valuationmethodology for investments

Summary

High financing costs lead to cash issues* for projects, but the opacity of the sector does

not help to improve the current situation
