What we offer

Financing

Our solutions for private infrastructure companies comprise various financing options – tailored to your project and its specific requirements: long-term loans, equity capital, mezzanine financing and bonds. If required, we can also mobilise larger volumes for our customers by getting additional investors on board. Through our commitment we send positive signals to further investors.

We offer you tailored loan financings at matching maturities for your investments in the areas of energy, transport, utilities and telecommunications that support sustainable transformation and thus contribute to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

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

• Interest rate: fixed or variable, market-oriented depending on project and country risk

• Collateral: usually as the company's fixed assets in the country of investment

• Structuring: according to the customer’s requirements

Advice plus support

In addition to offering appropriate financing solutions, our strength is in providing tailored advice on infrastructure and renewable projects in developing markets. We can provide specialist advice on conceptual design and financing as well as arrange co-financing, with the aim of organising your project even more efficiently and sustainably.

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.
