Murat Çiftçi, General Manager of IBS Insurance and Reassurance Brokerage, shared the new models in infrastructure financing and the contribution of insurance system with Strategy Magazine. By 2030, it is estimated that the need for infrastructure investment around the world will be 4 trillion USD. This figure, today, hovers around 2.6 trillion USD. While it is crucial to fund infrastructure projects for growth, finding new financial methods is at the top of the infrastructure projects’ agenda. Long term investments is an important factor for economic improvement. If we consider the current conjecture in which the world economy is situated, we will better understand the role of these methods in supporting infrastructure projects. Especially for infrastructure, it is confirmed that there is a positive relationship between expenses and GDP growth. Additionally, in an economic environment which has profound capital markets, it is seen that infrastructure investment projects are affected positively. The presence of investment and financial market instruments for infrastructure is especially important within the current macroeconomic environment. High rate of unemployment, constraints on public and private sector resources and structural issues in banking sector make the current improvement inadequate when compared with standards in the past. Meanwhile, there are some legal and legislative obstacles that constrain infrastructure related expenditure. The downtrend in borrowing practices of banks which already continue to occur and uncertainty regarding legislative regulation and political developments demotivate long term capital market participants. As a result, while there is a risk of financing deficit for infrastructure in developing markets which cannot be ignored; it is clear that this is not favorable for financial market stability and economic growth in general. Corporate financiers such as those who work with insurance or retirement funds, by nature, tend to carry out long term investments. Assuming a major role in mediatorship for long term capitals, insurance companies can enhance the available risk transfer function and market stabilizer role. In this stage, there are no sufficient financial market instruments where corporate investors can easily access the infrastructure asset class; however, when examined in detail, infrastructure borrowings overcompensate criteria such as regular cash flow, attractive risk adjusted yield and higher quality of loan structure, which this class seeks. Considering their expertise and experience in infrastructure financing, international financing institutions and multilateral development banks can function as catalysts in determining the standards and develop the best acceptable implementation model for infrastructure due diligence. After all, a transparent and adaptable infrastructure asset class can be regarded as a fine opportunity for the emerging financing deficit. And this can be supported with the harmonization of infrastructure investment legislation with the available structure and by reviewing Solvency II standards. Within this context, some major Insurance and Reassurance companies supports private/ public market initiatives. This method would facilitate the operations of international finance companies and enhance the lending capacity of multilateral development banks by means of pooling the infrastructure projects and required insurance facilities. Infrastructure investment and standardization compliance will act as key functions in, apart from legal and operational requirements, establishing the asset class structure, which is thought to be created with standard bond structures and due diligence processes. The discussion of infrastructure financing and long term investment policies has gained momentum. While the discussion continues at full speed with the private sector, the macroeconomic environment and the need for increasing the growth provides a unique “window of opportunity” for well-coordinated policy action. Indirect involvement of major insurance and reassurance companies in the financing of infrastructure projects will mean a new day for financial markets that are continually in search of additional resources.
