IJGlobal is delighted to publish today league tables for infrastructure and project finance activity in the first half of 2021 in a new-look format that delves into the findings in more detail and provides a better user experience.

In this report, the IJGlobal data team identifies the lenders and advisers that have been most active in infra and PF deals across the globe for the period.

This new layout makes for a refreshed perspective on this must-read, allowing greater comparison of individual company performances across sectors and geographies.

As the Covid-19 pandemic entered its second year, global infrastructure finance demonstrated resilience in H1 2021. Market turbulence translated to lower results in deal value and volume in the first two quarters of 2021 (though data is subject to change as more comes available).

Nevertheless, half-year data suggests that there is a push for stability in terms of infrastructure finance. H1 2021 values stood at $641 billion, maintaining their values from the second half of 2020, despite a lower number of closed deals.

However, average 6-month deal values for H1 were above the average half-year figures ($624.6 billion) since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

Global infra activity has been moving forward mainly thanks to M&A deals and bonds, as companies turn to capital markets and portfolio disposals and consolidations – a trend that ran throughout the entirety of 2020 as well.

Infra funds were particularly active in the M&A field, while sponsors were on a campaign for more favourable terms on their existing loans in response to shifting economic conditions.

We hope that the IJGlobal League Table Report for H1 2021 proves to be more intuitive than previous publications. We view it as a conversation starter on all the current and burgeoning trends in infrastructure and project finance.

Please do feel free to get in touch to share your thoughts. We are open (within reason) to including new tables that will prove helpful to subscribers and create a more complete view of the global market we all work in.
