Portugal no topo de financiamentos PPP em 2009

The performance of the project finance market in 2009 was fairly decent given the distressed state of the capital markets in late 2008 and early 2009. PPP loan volumes were down significantly in 2009 compared to 2008, but still remained at a level close to levels achieved in 2005. In EMEA, there was a good range of [PPP] deals – although many were focused on Portugal and the Middle East. Institutions with strong PPP deal flow in Portugal topped the PPP/PFI League Tables in 2009.

EMEA: Portugal – EIB to provide up to €345m for Pinhal Interior Road
21 January 2010
The EIB is considering providing up to €345m to Estradas de Portugal for the financing of the 30-year concession of the Pinhal interior shadow toll road.

Official multilateral export credit agencies (ECA) and development financiers (IFI, MDB) like the EIB are expected to play an important role in re-energising the project finance market in the face of commercial bank caution.
