3. Methodology: Steps taken in developing a
quantitative model and analytical framework
Investment
need
• classify investment needs by sectors and regions
• use technology and project profile to classify as needing public, private, multilateral finance
• determine projects' life-cycle, risk-return profile (technology maturity, competition, policy and
supporting measures (Fit and PPA)
• determine projects’ possible capital structure under different scenarios
Debt
finance
• determine debt finance from capital structure identified above
• determine portion which can be refinanced by debt across project life cycle
• determine refinancing and restructuring needs
Bond
Market
• identify scope for bonds (new finance and refinance) by type (Corporate, Project, SSA,
Sovereign and Municipal)
• use past trends and potential future policy developments to derive scenarios by bond type
• use bond maturity profile by type of bonds to derive recycled and new injection of funds in bond
market needed each year
Implication
for II asset
allocation
• analyse needs of Institutional Investors in the context of expanding green bond investment
opportunities
• propose relevant policy measures to enable greater participation of II

Note: Error bars represent the enhanced securitisation scenario, based on a 10% increase in asset securitisation rate across all
sectors over the baseline scenario, which incorporates a more conservative asset securitisation assumption. “Outstanding” refers to
cumulative amount of bonds issued that have not yet reached redemption or maturity.

1) To describe why policy makers are focusing on institutional investors, here is an illustrative picture of the landscape of investment financing for green infrastructure and where it would come from in the OECD area. (NB. We pulled this together based on recent reports that we were involved in for the G20). Of course, individual country contexts matter and the picture could look different from Australia to the United States. (this picture is broadly representative of the European landscape). In developing countries the picture would be roughly reversed with the public and quasi public sector (state owned banks and corporates) financing 2/3. In the OECD the public sector finances about a third (including national development banks).
2) 2/3 come from the private sector and this is split roughly 50/50 between corporate sources (the balance sheets of utilities and project developers, etc) and the financial sector.
3) The financial sector is around 95 percent reliant on bank asset financing with non-bank entities including institutional investors financing the remainder. Asset financing could be in the form of project finance or financial arrangements specific to individual projects, which are common for power and infrastructure investments in general. This is split into investor categories, but different entities will be involved in the same type of investment...for instance, within project finance, roughly 63% in the OECD in 2012 was financed through debt, including loans from commercial and public banks, as well as debt finance provided for projects by institutional investors and publicly traded companies
4) You can see that such levels of investment cannot be financed by traditional public sources alone. The impact of the financial crisis and global deleveraging has exacerbated the situation, further reducing the scope for public investment in infrastructure within government budgets.
5) The scope for utility companies to expand their balance sheets to increase the capacity of investment in green infrastructure is constrained by the willingness of institutional investors (and others) to purchase new debt and equity issued from the utility companies. Currently, their balance sheets are under pressure and filled with existing portfolios of projects.
6) The financial crisis has affected the maturity transformation process in financial markets and the ability of banks to channel long-term financing. Banks have been prompted to reduce investments across illiquid asset classes, because of newly exposed funding vulnerabilities and new regulations such as Basel III, aimed at improving their capital and liquidity positions. As a result, banks are less willing or able to meet the long-term funding needs of borrowers and their new investments. Structural weaknesses in the banking sector are also leading to “bad” deleveraging, particularly in Europe, in the form of restrained credit growth. This is particularly relevant because EU banks that have been disproportionately affected by sovereign debt crisis of recent years had been large domestic and international “specialist” financiers of infrastructure which typically requires more know-how and carries longer maturities and has been harder to replace.
7) In a nutshell, this is a key reason why policy makers have been focusing on increasing investment by institutional investors with their $83tn in assets in the OECD.
