Impact of European Crisis on Project Finance The British government undertook an overall review of PFI program, which culminated in the announcement of PF2 The effect the review was to postpone / cancel significant number of PFI procurement on certain sectors such as waste, highway maintenance, peripheral school deals and a couple of big ticket rolling stock deals (e.g. IEP and Thameslink) Governments such as Portugal and Spain are in a cost savings mode to try and salvage their tattered fiscal deficits As part of bailout package, Portugal had triggered a wave of privatisation of the government owned assets, with the sale of TAP and airport operator ANA The Spanish government revised laws to cut subsidies and to tax the energy project sector that are currently operational The Change in Law has added a further disincentive for private players to participate in the infrastructure sector in those countries Copyright 2014 Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.

European Models to Boost Liquidity The French Model The French government introduced the Dailly tranche concept into PPP structures The Dailly tranche is a tranche of senior debt that is guaranteed by the State Banks perceive the risk as State risk instead of project risk. The risk asset used to fund loans for the banks is reduced and the benefit translates into banks able to provide large ticket size at competitive pricing for funding under Dailly tranche The German Model Germany makes extensive use of the forfeiting model The authority waives its right to reduce or suspend the payment of element of service charge that covers debt service leaving the non-forfeited portion exposed to project risk Typically forfeiting is only applied post project completion Lenders treat the portion of debt subject to forfeiting post completion as State risk State guarantees reduce risk asset for the banks and therefore boost liquidity However the poor health of European government's budget limits the number of projects that guarantee can be provided Copyright 2014 Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.

European Models to Boost Liquidity The French Model The French government introduced the Dailly tranche concept into PPP structures The Dailly tranche is a tranche of senior debt that is guaranteed by the State Banks perceive the risk as State risk instead of project risk. The risk asset used to fund loans for the banks is reduced and the benefit translates into banks able to provide large ticket size at competitive pricing for funding under Dailly tranche The German Model Germany makes extensive use of the forfeiting model The authority waives its right to reduce or suspend the payment of element of service charge that covers debt service leaving the non-forfeited portion exposed to project risk Typically forfeiting is only applied post project completion Lenders treat the portion of debt subject to forfeiting post completion as State risk State guarantees reduce risk asset for the banks and therefore boost liquidity However the poor health of European government's budget limits the number of projects that guarantee can be provided Copyright 2014 Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.
