The first quarter of 2023 could best be described as slow on the fundraising front

The anticipated slump in global activity across greenfield finance – and refinance – of infrastructure and energy has played out this quarter with significant declines recorded in Q1 2023

Last year saw a return to pre-pandemic fundraising for closed-end infrastructure funds, according to IJGlobal research

Having compiled all the IJInvestor data on infrastructure closed-end fundraising for the third quarter of 2022, the headline figure already almost outstrips full-year 2021… with a record-breaking tally clearly on the cards

This quarter, primary financing deals overall continue to hold steady although there has been a significant drop in refinancings

We are delighted today to be publishing the second issue of the IJGlobal ESG Report, delving into environmental, social and governance issues as they impact the international infrastructure and energy community
