Infrastructure debt continues to perform strongly despite the macroeconomic volatility that dominates the market, say BNP Paribas Asset Management’s head of real assets Karen Azoulay and investment director Stéphanie Passet.

A host of macro circumstances are shaping how sustainable infrastructure performs in 2023, says Saji Anantakrishnan, head of infrastructure, Australia and Asia, at PATRIZIA.

Energy transition is now a cross-sector investment theme rather than a siloed asset class, says Saket Trivedi, partner at Cube Infrastructure Managers.

Energy systems are just one aspect of infrastructure in need of transformation, says Michael Hoverman, principal at CIM Group.

The ability to decarbonise hard to abate sectors is fundamental to the energy transition and will require an acceleration in renewables deployment, say Prime Capital’s Thomas Zirngibl, Janna Brokmann and Mathias Bimberg.

Appetite for core infrastructure is soaring as investors seek a safe harbour in a storm, says Vauban Infrastructure Partners chief executive and founder Gwenola Chambon.

Barings’ Pieter Welman sees a favourable political backdrop and the urgency of the energy transition trumping the risks of ‘crowding’ as debt opportunities abound.

The appetite for infrastructure debt continues to grow, with a well-developed pipeline of investments, says Infranity’s Philippe Benaroya.

Interest rates and inflation appear to have turned a corner, but the geopolitical situation remains a concern, says abrdn’s Dominic Helmsley.

The current macroeconomic backdrop is the perfect opportunity to scale investment in decarbonisation and social infrastructure, says Bernd Fislage, CEO of Kommunalkredit.
