    Municipal Bond

    Ultimately, ESP concluded that the most promising approach in the immediate term was the issuance of corporate bonds by PDAMs in the domestic capital market, and establishing a complementary new nationwide pool financing facility to be denominated the Indonesia Water Fund (IWF). Unlike the management of other municipal infrastructure services, district water utilities in Indonesia operate as separate legal entities, and their municipal governments are generally reluctant to borrow on their behalf. A straight corporate issue by a PDAM would demonstrate the viability of accessing the capital markets to meet the huge infrastructure financing needs of the sector.…

    Project Finance

    The use of non-recourse project financing has grown steadily in emerging markets, especially in basic infrastructure, natural resources and the energy sector. Because of its cost and complexity, project finance is aimed at large-scale investments. The key is in the precise estimation of cash flows and risk analysis and allocation, which enables high leverage, and in ensuring that the project can be easily separated from the sponsors involved. Project finance is more difficult in emerging countries, which tend to pose unpredictable risks with unfavorably biased results. This study investigates the role of project finance as a driver of economic growth. It is hypothesized that project finance is beneficial for the developing economies as it compensates for any lack of domestic financial development. The contractual structure unique to project finance should lead to better investment management and governance.…
