3 Agenda OPENING ADDRESS Infrastructure and Energy Finance: The View from Prague STATE OF THE GLOBAL PROJECT FINANCE MARKET Rapid expansion infrastructure and energy markets driven by increased urbanization and technological advances is creating vast opportunities for project finance in every corner of the globe cross developed and emerging markets. The G20 GI Hub estimates that some $94 trn, or 3.7 percent of global GDP is needed to 2040 to meet global infra needs in line with sustainable development goals. The mobilization of capital to meet the enormous infra needs whilst managing climate and geopolitical risks is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Here the global leaders of infra finance discuss the strategies and visions to meet sustainable development goals, plug funding gaps to create the clean and green world of the future. PROJECT FINANCING TRENDS, LOAN MARKETS, MULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS, ECAS, CREDIT GUARANTEES AND ENHANCEMENTS, PROJECT BONDS, RATINGS & RISK Diversification of funding sources for infrastructure projects beyond traditional syndicated project loan markets, currently standing at some $300bn annually, include huge private equity funds, private debt and institutional funds as well as capital market bond issues for projects. How are these funding sources working together in local markets to deliver projects and how will the market further evolve in 2019? REFRESHMENTS INFRASTRUCTURE STREAM EUROPE: ASSESSING RISKS IN NATIONAL AND FEDERAL INFRASTRUCTURE INITIATIVES Europe represents the largest project finance market by volume with differing infra needs across the region. The session will survey the market and encompass the European Investment Plan assessing progress and opportunities in the 500bn vision to upgrade infrastructure, through PPPs across Europe, assessing the political risks in the Union and beyond. The session will also assesses the growth of the renewables markets in Europe where the growth of both wind and solar projects in 2017 continues to be a major focus for regional lenders and developers. MENA OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDING THE SAUDI INFRA PLAN AND AFRICAN MARKETS Sovereign wealth funds have been a feature of project markets in MENA but a decline in oil prices has given rise to debt opportunities for commercial lenders, as well as private equity, as borrowers seek more diverse funding. This session will also examines the growth of the renewables market in Africa. GLOBAL STREAM AMERICAS: TRUMP S PLANS, INFRA BANKS AND PPPS US Infra and P3 plans at Federal and State level, Canada PPPs and LatAm opportunities including Mexico, Columbia, Brazil and Argentina. The promise of major federal spending in the US together with municipal PPP programmes and the development of regional infrastructure banks is set to create new project financing opportunities across North America although the details are still to be delivered by the Trump administration. In Latin America the rehabilitation of Argentina to the credit markets, together with ongoing programmes in Mexico, Chile and Columbia, including energy and infra projects are detailed in this session, with analysis of the local opportunities for international project finance. ASIA: INDIA S NATIONAL INFRA PROGRAMMES AND SE ASIA ENERGY MARKETS The $9bn Indian road programmes features the construction of 10,000km of highways across the country including the highway into Myanmar. ASEAN offers financing opportunities in power and renewables as well as road and rail projects.

4 INFRASTRUCTURE STREAM EURASIAN ECONOMIES: RUSSIA & CIS, CCE AND TURKEY S INFRA AND ENERGY PLANS Oil, gas and roads feature as major projects throughout the region, whilst Russia recorded the largest deal with Yamal LNG last year, Turkey in particular is emerging as a key destination for project finance in the region with power and energy a key requirement as the country rapidly modernizes. How will the market evolve in 2019? GLOBAL STREAM TRAVELLING THE NEW SILK ROAD: CHINA AND BELT AND ROAD Xi Jingpin s historic vision to build a modern silk route encompasses 65 countries linked through a network of ports, rail and roads to share the economic spoils of Chinas global march. Whilst China s state funded banks dominate deals, projects are not without opportunities to foreign lenders and advisors. This session tracks ongoing opportunities for international syndicate and local partners. LUNCH GREEN BONDS MARKETS FOR PROJECTS AND ESG INVESTORS The green bond market stands at some $299 bn and is rapidly expanding with the proceeds of capital raisings targeted at low carbon and carbon reducing projects including renewable energy, carbon capture and enhancing energy efficiency in public buildings and housing. Yet the challenge of climate change requires a vast expansion of green funds, including increased sovereign issuance. This session looks at the likely trajectory of the green bond markets for projects in 2019 and beyond. INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS, INFRA FUNDS AND GLOBAL PROJECTS: MATCHING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES The matching of long term infrastructure funding needs and long term investments in pension and insurance funds has been identified as key to unlocking the funding gap and providing liquidity to project finance markets. Whilst Investors have been cautious on construction risk and greenfield project bonds, the opportunities for asset financing and asset recycling remain where liabilities and asset can be matched, and bankable projects can be identified. This session looks at development of global infra funds and the future growth of the market in REFRESHMENTS INFRASTRUCTURE STREAM TRANSFORMING ECONOMIES THROUGH SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE Including broadband, education, housing and health facilities Public programmes at national level to procure social infrastructure through PPPs are developing in many markets as governments seek to deliver enhanced facilities and services. This session maps best practice in PPP delivery of social infra, and opportunities for 2019 and beyond. THE ROAD AHEAD IN 2019: FINANCING NATIONAL TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE Global need for roads is enormous with many countries, especially in Asia and Latin America requiring investment to develop the logistical infrastructure to achieve greater GDP growth and to reach developed country status. How these will be financed under PPP and other structures in 2019 and beyond is discussed here. ENERGY STREAM TRANSITIONING TO CLEAN POWER AND RENEWABLES MARKETS In power, IPPs and the development of gas fired power stations have been a feature of several project financing in 2017 including Myingyan IPP in Myanmar and Sirajganj 4 in Bangladesh; this session looks at recent deals studies and new opportunities globally. Renewables including wind, solar and storage deals have produced a strong pipe line of projects from developers in the market giving rise to specialist private equity and infra funds. This session looks at the markets for 2019 and beyond. CUTTING THE CARBON: GAS AND LNG MARKETS -BUILDING ON THE BIG GLOBAL DEALS The power sector and LNG markets including FLNG, have recorded the biggest project financings in recent years, as LNG-to-power technologies promise more. With global demand for LNG increasing at 3-5% annually especially in Asia, the challenge to build greater capacity remains, whilst cutting carbon emissions in line with COP22 goals. The panel will evaluate the potential from US as net producers, the promise of the rich East African gas fields, and consumption in Asia. COCKTAILS CLOSE OF CONFERENCE 4
