How infraco CFOs can secure funding despite caution among lenders: an interview with Alessandro Ravagnolo

Many digital infrastructure operators are assessing their options for raising finance. Macroeconomic conditions are easing, and the cost of funding is expected to decrease, but many infrastructure lenders are being cautious. 

Alessandro Ravagnolo, a Partner in Analysys Mason’s Transaction Support team, offers his views on recent trends and developments in the financing process. He gives his perspective on important questions that CFOs and their teams need to grapple with:

• What should CFOs know about changes in the process for obtaining funding for infrastructure projects? 
• What are the risks of using an equity due diligence report when CFOs are seeking funding from lenders?
• What can CFOs do to build lenders’ confidence in the viability of a proposed investment?
• How can infraco CFOs use the financing process to improve business operations?
• What options are available to CFOs to reduce the cost of debt?
• What can CFOs do to improve lenders’ ability to monitor the development of a given investment?
