Mini-Perm, Maxi Ambiton: Financing Today, Refinancing Tomorrow

11:50 AM - 12:30 PM 18/02/2027

Are traditional project-finance structures still fit for purpose, or are mini-perms and short-term construction financing, followed by refinancing, becoming the new normal?
What happens if the refinancing window isn’t there when the mini-perm matures? How are lenders and sponsors pricing and managing refinancing risk?
How can sponsors move from project finance into bond or institutional financing once assets have an operating track record?
How can projects access longer-tenor capital once they’re operational and who’s supplying it (insurers, pension funds, DFIs)?
