Green Shoots of Recovery in the Securitisation Markets?

Across Europe and a number of other regions bank recapitalisation pressures have led to a reduction in business and project lending - and thus reduced renewable energy lending.

This is a problem because the bulk of project finance (95% globally) comes from bank lending.

The development of a market for securitized renewable energy and energy efficiency assets and loans, allowing banks to quickly recycle limited loan capital, is going to be vital to ensuring banks deliver the project finance needed as we “green” energy systems.
