Multilateral Development Bank participation can materially improve bankability, but it rarely eliminates the need for additional capital. Sponsors still need to close the gap between total project cost and the combined capacity of sponsor equity plus senior debt.
Financing gaps persist because development and infrastructure investment needs exceed available resources. This dynamic drives the continuous focus on cofinancing, mobilisation, and private capital participation.
The G20 Global Infrastructure Hub estimates total infrastructure investment needs of roughly US$97 trillion by 2040, with a large unfunded portion if current trends continue, as summarised in its publication on the Global Infrastructure Outlook investment needs.
The OECD’s Global Outlook on Financing for Sustainable Development projects a financing gap that could reach US$6.4 trillion by 2030 without major reforms, as stated in its Global Outlook 2025 publication page.
Even when a project is eligible for development finance, senior sizing remains constrained by coverage ratios, construction risk, jurisdictional risk, and sponsor support limits. Multilateral Development Banks can anchor governance and risk mitigation, but capital stack completion still requires a tranche aligned with private risk appetite.
The examples below are drawn from official public reporting and illustrate the scale of development finance and the role of mobilisation and cofinancing. They also explain why project sponsors still encounter unfunded portions.
The World Bank Group reports US$118.5 billion in loans, grants, equity investments, and guarantees in fiscal 2025 on its Annual Report financial summary.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development reports €16.6 billion invested in 2024 and €26.7 billion mobilised in its 2024 record year announcement.
The African Development Bank provides a public overview that notes approvals in 2024 of UA 8.47 billion on its institutional overview page. Sponsors also reference the corresponding details in the annual report PDF.
The Asian Development Bank publishes operational datasets for its Annual Report 2024 via the ADB Data Library , which supports sponsor and lender benchmarking when discussing commitments, cofinancing, and sector allocation.
Construction risk drives conservative senior sizing. Completion support, contingency, and contractor strength determine whether senior proceeds increase or remain capped.
DSCR requirements, reserve mechanics, and tenor caps reduce senior capacity relative to total project cost, especially where revenues ramp up over time.
Where hard currency revenue is limited or convertibility is uncertain, senior lenders often size down, expanding the required subordinate tranche.
Sponsors may have committed meaningful equity but cannot increase equity further without breaching return hurdles, portfolio limits, or guarantee capacity.
Gap financing is typically structured to protect senior lenders while providing a defined economics and governance profile acceptable to the gap capital provider.
Subordinated tranche behind senior debt, typically with defined cash flow waterfalls, tighter covenant packages, and intercreditor protections.
Equity-like capital with defined return mechanics and control rights, used where leverage constraints limit additional debt sizing.
Where feasible, guarantees and risk mitigation can increase senior proceeds and reduce the size of the subordinate tranche required to close.
Tailored tranche combining reserves, covenants, completion protections, and step-in mechanics aligned with the risk appetite of the capital provider.
Financely supports sponsors in structuring and placing gap financing tranches for projects approaching financial close. We focus on packaging, structuring, and targeted outreach based on underwriting standards and documented transaction mechanics.
