PUBLIC WORKS FINANCING AND FINANCIAL CRISIS: CHARACTERISTICS
- Liquidity problems- Bigger price for risks- Bigger debt cover ratio- More equity- Substitution of Project Financing by Corporative
Financing- As consequence, investment expenses will remain in the balance of concession holder- Problems to finance demand risks (economical crisis)
- Budget cuts have frozen projects already underway and others that would be tendered soon- Economic crisis and changes in financial markets have left out feasibility concessions in operation, under construction and others recently awarded- But, in short term, it is necessary to solve
two problems:- Finding out solution to the feasibility of actual concessions- Use the concession system for new projects
CHARACTERISTICS OF FINANCING SPANISH INVESTMENTS NOW
Out of possibilities offered by the Courts, to recover financial and economic equilibrium of concession, the parties, grantor and concession holder, have other options:
1. Reverse the contract by mutual agreement, under the conditions that set the Law
2. Grantor, unilaterally, citing reasons of public interest, reverse the contract under the conditions set by the Law
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS FOR NO LONGER FEASIBLES CONCESSIONS (I)
3. Concession holder, with the authorization of the grantor, sell the concession to other investor with a discount rate that makes it feasible for the new concessioner.
4. Grantor give a loan to a great operator of concessions, to buy with discount concessions with problems.
5. Grantor create a public company and would give an equity contribution to reverse the concessions with problems under the conditions established by the Law.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS FOR NO LONGER FEASIBLES CONCESSIONS (II)
1. Budgets will be scarce, probably marginal, 2. Most new projects will need concessional financing. The client of the concession holder will be the user and sometimes the administration itself, which will pay it for availability and/or shadow toll3. Projects will be better and will offer more return to the private sector, because competition will decrease
USE OF CONCESSION SYSTEM FOR NEW PROJECTS (I)
4. Grantor will offer financing and some guaranties to bidders
5. Financial markets, once stabilized, will re-structure the financing like project financing6. Financing will be more expensive and the required capital of shareholders will also be higher. Demand risks will must be mitigated to be financed
USE OF CONCESSION SYSTEM FOR NEW PROJECTS (II)
USE OF CONCESSION SYSTEM FOR NEW PROJECTS (III)
Spanish Government has announced a program of concessions of 17 billions € trying that answer to this characteristics
