Highlights | Innovations in PPP Financing Session | Abu Dhabi PPP Forum

Heightened financial market volatility, macroeconomic pressures, and disrupted supply chains are some of the challenges facing the financing of infrastructure projects globally. At the same time, the volume of financing required has never been greater with governments managing multiple competing priorities such as climate change mitigation and adaptation, providing for increasing urbanization and demographic changes, upgrading of aging infrastructure, and economic transformation.

This session convened both PPP practitioners and providers of capital to explore how financial solutions for PPPs are evolving and what innovations are needed to meet the challenges and priorities of today’s world and the future, with less reliance on traditional financing strategies. Meeting in the #UAE, amid a region where PPP is thriving, the session illustrated success stories and revealed common insights that can be applied in markets across the world.
