Funding Infrastructure Projects in Emerging Markets
Can infrastructure projects in emerging markets get funded? Yes — if the project is structured correctly. Financely helps sponsors in Africa, Asia, LATAM, and frontier markets raise capital through real term sheets and structured issuance.
Infrastructure in emerging markets is essential — roads, energy, logistics, ports, water, telecom. But getting these projects funded is often harder than designing them. Why? Because investors need proof. Of risk mitigation. Of repayment sources. Of performance capacity.
Financely helps qualified sponsors raise funding for large-scale infrastructure by coordinating private capital, SBLC-backed structures, and lender-matched issuance strategies that close gaps banks can’t.
Challenges in Emerging Market Project Finance
Perceived political or regulatory instability
Lack of domestic banking support for large-ticket facilities
Currency volatility and convertibility risk
Weak documentation and absence of underwriting materials
What We Look For in Fundable Infrastructure Projects
Signed or near-final offtake agreements (PPAs, concessions, leases, etc.)
Permits, land titles, or regulatory approvals secured or in process
Experienced sponsor team or EPC partner with completion capacity
Revenue model that supports debt repayment over 5–15 years
How Financely Supports These Projects
We structure the capital stack — debt, equity, and credit enhancement
We issue SBLCs or DLCs to secure performance or trigger contract execution
We bring in LPs and institutional investors with appetite for frontier-market exposure
We help sponsors prepare the model, memo, and full investor file
Use Cases We’ve Worked With
Solar + battery storage in sub-Saharan Africa
Fiber and telecom rollout in West Africa and Southeast Asia
Airport and port concessions in LATAM
Data center infrastructure with anchor tenancy in place
Utility-scale water treatment projects in North Africa
What We Don’t Support
We don’t work with speculative projects, concept-stage slides, or proposals lacking documentation. There must be a file. There must be a structure. And there must be a real business case.
