Emphasis will be on the new challenges raised for infrastructure funding via infrastructure bonds, infrastructure funds and structured finance and how the might shape the future of PPP projects in emerging markets. Attention will also be given to lessons from previous financial crises (for example, Korea 1997–98) for the sustaining the PPP market under challenging market conditions.
