Infrastructure (PPP)

Infrastructure projects require long-term thinking. That fits well with us because our business philosophy is also oriented to the long term. Besides, infrastructure investors operate in a regulated environment, and this requires specific expert knowledge. We possess outstanding technical know-how to appraise and give support to our projects, and we have excellent expertise as a modelling bank. We analyse and prepare business plans and cash flow models and have profound knowledge that we draw on when we work out the optimal financing structure with our clients.

Whether in the form of deliveries and services or capital investments - the infrastructure projects and investments we finance are closely connected to the German and European economy.

Cooperation between the state and the private sector

In the financing of infrastructure projects, public-private partnerships (PPP) play a significant role all over the world. We finance projects in which private enterprises are in charge of the construction, operation and maintenance of public infrastructure such as a school, hospital or public administrative building. This enables the modernisation of communal services while allowing the public sector to focus on its core functions.

Our main financing products:

Project financings with maturities to match the investments
Corporate financings for investment measures
Structured financings tailored to individual situations
Guarantees
Derivatives to supplement the product range

Selected financing cases:

Roads

We finance the extension and operation of transport infrastructure in Germany and Europe, such as the Blankenburg Tunnel in the Netherlands.

Water

We finance infrastructure on and near the water, such as 'Afsluitdijk Project' - reinforcement of the enclosure dam in the Netherlands.

Airports

We finance both construction and modernisation work, such as infrastructure investments at Düsseldorf Airport.

Harbours

We finance seaports around the world, contributing to the development of transport infrastructure, e.g. a new container terminal for Brazil’s largest port.

The path to energy-efficient and carbon-neutral airports

Airports are central mobility hubs within a connected world - using targeted measures, it is possible to achieve significantly more energy-efficient and carbon-neutral airport operations.

Our customers Finavia and Swedavia are already demonstrating that climate action and air travel are not mutually exclusive.
