HSAA
Financing Africa for a better Tomorrow
OVERVIEW
The global infrastructure financing gap is estimated to be around $15 trillion by 2040 To provide basic infrastructure for all people over the course of the next two decades, every year the world would need to spend just under $1 trillion more than the previous year in the infrastructure sector. Most of this spending must happen in low-income economies. Nearly eight hundred million people in the world do not have access to electricity and basic drinking water services. Around 1.8 billion people in the world are not using basic sanitation services. The vast majority of these people reside in low-income economies, including the Sub-Saharan African and South Asian regions.
SERVICES
FINANCE
HSAA specialises in providing bespoke financing solutions for Infrastructure Projects and any related services, our clientele is predominately Sovereign Entities in Africa.
Traditionally, infrastructure investments have been financed with public funds. Governments were the main actor in this field, given the inherent public good nature of infrastructure and the positive externalities often generated by such facilities. However, public deficits, increased public debt to GDP ratios and, at times, the inability of the public sector to deliver efficient investment spending, have in many economies led to a reduction in the level of public funds allocated to infrastructure. Budgetary pressures have been compounded in some cases by the need to repair bank balance sheets and rebuild capital and liquidity buffers, owing in part to strengthened prudential regulation in the banking sector. As a consequence, it is increasingly acknowledged that alternative sources of financing are needed to support infrastructure development.

METHODOLOGY
Project and Infrastructure Finance is a specialist area that requires a combination of industry and market knowledge with legal and risk management expertise, as well a sound grasp of the financial fundamentals. Our team has a reputation for successfully delivering first-class support in all segments of the infrastructure and energy markets.
We’re not just here to provide a legal overview, we understand the deeper strategic, cultural and political factors that impact the markets. We also have access to key market contacts and decision makers in our key geographies. Our goal is to support our clients from a project’s inception to expiry of the concession; through the whole lifecycle of the project.
HSAA has also concluded strategic partnerships with industry leaders in terms of Advance Payment Guarantees and Performance Guarantees for projects and services. Through our innovative outlook we are able to marry suitable projects with these tailormade guarantees

We advise borrowers, sponsors, funds, banks, non-bank lenders and bond arrangers on all products, from bilateral and syndicated senior debt through to listed bonds and other debt capital markets products.
One of our most unique solutions thus far is for the Cross River State Government (CRSG) in Nigeria, after our formal appointment by the Bakassi Deep Seaport Project Steering Committee in 2022, HSAA was able to successfully negotiate and secure the proposed project funding and source a third party guarantor for the project pending the approval of the PPP Concessionaire for the project. It was noted at the time that this non-traditional, non-recourse, sustainable and robust funding mechanism for the Bakassi Deep Sea Port was most certainly unprecedented in the annals of PPP Maritime Port Developments in Nigeria.
