Description
The panel will explore the evolving landscape of financing structures for mega construction projects. With rising costs, shifting regulations, and growing sustainability requirements, financing models are becoming more innovative and diverse. This session will cover traditional funding methods as well as emerging trends, such as green financing, Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), and project-specific bonds. Panelists will also address the challenges in securing financing for large-scale projects, the implications of different financing models on risk allocation, and the impact of evolving market conditions on capital availability.
