Many developing markets present attractive opportunities for investors.  Africa, for example, faces an infrastructure deficit that would take an estimated US$ 38 billion of investment per year to address—for instance, power generation in the 48 Sub-Saharan African countries (population 800 million) is equivalent to power generation in Spain (population 45 million).  At the same time, government budgets are strained; the current funding gap across Africa is approximately US$ 35 billion per year.  Certain transaction structures, such as Public Private Partnerships (“PPPs”) and Resource Financed Infrastructure (“RFI”), can be used to harness private capital to help solve problems like Africa’s infrastructure deficit and other similar issues in frontier markets.

The presentation—PPP Opportunities in Frontier Markets: Key Legal Issues for Directors—will discuss the key considerations for directors in relation to foreign investment in frontier markets, including an overview of the PPP structure and how it can best be used in frontier markets, and a discussion of some common pitfalls in PPP investment.  The discussion will also include an overview of the RFI transaction structure and some advantages and disadvantages of using that model.  The presentation will conclude with a brief examination of a few frontier-market PPP case studies.
