Sovereign Funding / Guarantees

  • Developing countries will need to invest more than $2 trillion a year in infrastructure just to keep pace with projected GDP growth over the next 15 years—yet many of them face challenges in mobilizing the resources to finance this investment, mobilizing credit enhancements and good governance. To close the gap, governments in these countries will need to unlock Private Sector Infrastructure Financing at Scale despite the following facts.
    • International financial markets have changed substantially over the last decade. Reversing their large expansion in the period of 2000-2008, Global Banks have reduced Country Credit Limits and Average Tenor of their loan books, partly driven by new Banking Regulations.
    • On the other hand, improved economic indicators in Emerging Market (“EM”) economies and low yields in Advanced Economies ( "AM" ) have attracted a wider range of investors to emerging financial markets. The total funding pool for EM Bonds stands at about $1 Trillion assets under management (“AuM”), which represents the largest pool of capital available for emerging markets risk.  This is a subset of the larger institutional investor pool made up of Pension Funds, Sovereign Wealth Funds, Asset Managers and the like, estimated at $85 trillion AuM. While the funding pool for EM bonds is significant, many EM Sovereigns and Sub-Sovereigns face major challenges accessing it or achieving desirable terms due to their high risk profile. 
  • For this type of Sovereigns / Sub Sovereigns , SFO Funding™ &  SFO Guarantees™ and SFO Governance™ provides "CREDIT ENHANCEMENT / CREDIT CAPABILITIES" required to access the market.
