Infrastructure & Energy: Our solutions

We offer you tailored loan financings at matching maturities for your investments in the areas of energy, transport, utilities and telecommunications.

As an arranger of syndicated finance, we get further finance partners on board if required, enabling us to offer the complete loan financing from a single source.

At a glace:

• Currency: EUR or USD, also local currency

• Term: generally between 4 and 18 years

• Structuring: according to the customer’s requirements

We can also support your growth with equity capital. As a minority shareholder, we generate positive momentum for your project development and your reputation. In the development of regional and supra-regional platforms, the stake may be taken at holding company level or, in particular cases, at project level.

• As a rule with a minority stake

• Variable structuring of risk components

• Voting rights and seat on the supervisory board on a case-by-case basis

With our subordinated loans, we take on higher risks and offer you individual solutions to supplement your equity capital basis.

As an anchor investor with a long-term outlook, we stabilise your bond issues and send positive signals to other investors.

• Investments in private and listed bond issues

• Conditions reflecting the situation in the capital market

• Capital market access and development for issuers from emerging and developing countries

Investment-supporting measures help to co-finance investments that enhance the performance, growth and impact of companies in terms of developmental policy. In doing so, they support further professionalisation. DEG can cover a portion of these costs, for example for training skilled workers or for introducing environmental and social management systems. The latter enable risks in the environmental and social spheres to be identified and managed.

We support our customers in their challenges and develop individually tailored solutions for their company together with them.

Please contact your DEG customer relationship manager to get in touch with the BSS team.
