Projects, a Public Sector Story
Maximize economic welfare, from project design to implementation
Our team members supported both public and private entities through the development of 50 infrastructure projects, half of which reached financial close. Our exposure to a diverse range of financing instruments and partners in Europe, the Middle East and Africa enables us to contribute effectively to the full value chain, from economic assessment up to contract negotiations.

Project Economics
Is the project right for the economy ?
Can we make it better ?
We put a value on societal costs and benefits, accounting for uncertainties such as climate change to help you take robust decisions.
