A presentation by the 1818 Society Transport Thematic Group
Private capital mobilization for infrastructure projects has become a critical and nuanced issue in advancing transport infrastructure projects in light of tight fiscal frameworks. However, while attracting private investment has been seen as an opportunity in addressing funding gaps and expediting project implementation, challenges arise in balancing private sector motives and public policy objectives. Additionally, navigating the complexities of regulatory frameworks and risk management poses hurdles for private investors. Striking a harmonious balance between public interests, profitability, and sustainable development remains a central challenge in harnessing private capital for infrastructure projects.
The Transport Thematic Group would like to invite you to join a presentation by Mr. Raghavan Narayanan on this topic on Tuesday, December 19th, at 11:00 am, in room MC-7-300 with Webex connection.” Raghavan is currently Associate Director at EBRD’s Impact Policy and Partnerships Department. Before his current position at EBRD, Raghavan was a former senior evaluation officer at The World Bank’s IEG (Finance and Private Sector Development Unit) and the IFC Industry Focal Point for Infrastructure, Natural Resources, and Fund Investing. Before joining IFC/World Bank, Raghavan held positions in private equity and project finance companies, such as Halyard Capital, SilkRoute Capital, and Taylor Dejongh. Raghavan has studied at Harvard University, Georgetown University, Carlton University and Nanyang Technological University and published on infrastructure, regional integration, and impact investing.
