Welcome,
Engage with seasoned analysts from Moody’s Investors Service to discuss the risks of financing the transition to a carbon-free economy, our 2024 US transportation sector outlooks, and new credit trends in the US project finance market.
Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, joins us to discuss his economic outlook for 2024 amid rising uncertainty and softening expectations for future growth. We will examine the implications of this economic outlook on financings related to the transition to a carbon-free economy, the current state of new technologies to help with this transition and how utilities are maintaining reliability as renewables increase and more transmission investments are needed.
Our lineup also offers opportunities to delve into examples of how higher interest rates have influenced project financing structures and what we expect to continue in 2024. Changing market dynamics have resulted in several new data center, digital infrastructure, real estate related and EV charging projects that each have their own unique risk profiles to be considered project financings. Analysts will share how projects have addressed construction cost inflation and supply chain disruptions and how these evolving risks may be mitigated in some cases.
This event is online-only.
