2nd Annual Argentinian Energy & Infrastructure Finance Forum 2018 | Euromoney Seminars | 28 June 2018 | Four Seasons Hotel, ABB, Posadas 1086/88, C1011 Buenos Aires, AR-C, Argentina

The event gathers the leading players in the market representing government decision makers, project developers and local and international investors active in the energy and infrastructure space.

The market is full of momentum and opportunity as the Macri government continues to push forward with their ambitious PPP program. Spanning several sectors, the program is expected to attract US$26.5 billion in investment, to help overcome the significant infrastructure deficit in Argentina and allow the economy to achieve it’s full potential. With recent and upcoming tenders, notably in roads, water and social infrastructure, the forum will explore how PPPs are being rolled out, what contracts will look like, and assess the opportunities for financing.

In the energy space, we will explore questions around how the projects emerging from recent auctions will be funded, including the role of commercial financial and multilateral lenders, and what structures will be used to finance these projects. The forum will review results of auctions for transmission lines and debate the opportunities in energy related infrastructure.

Key topics in 2018 include:
• Strengthening frameworks and attracting investment through PPPs
• Financing Argentina’s ambitions: Lender and Investor perspective on the future of project financing
• Utilizing PPPs to build and improve Argentina’s highway network
• Assessing the commercial viability of RenovAR projects: What are the main challenges to financing and how can they be overcome?
