Exploring Alternative Solutions to Infrastructure Financing
The Government has injected equity funding into state-owned enterprises in order to fund infrastructure projects, but it has acknowledged that this is a short-term measure, which cannot be financed only by the state budget. Accordingly, efforts have been made to secure funding from international development agencies including local authorities’ introduction of several regulatory reforms in the hope of creating a more conducive environment for private sector participation in the infrastructure financing.
Several investment financing schemes have emerged, both direct and market-based, each of which has its own set of characteristics and implications for lending or investment portfolios. This paper highlights key considerations that may be taken into account in the design and structure of the financing schemes and how it affects the financial reporting as well as its tax consequences.
