Following £2 billion loan facility issue, Macquarie to discuss infrastructure and renewable energy

WATERLOO, U.K. - July 5, 2018 - PRLog -- The 17^th annual Benelux Infrastructure Forum is returning to Amsterdam, Netherlands on the 21^st and 22^nd November 2018, with an unrivalled line-up of senior industry experts sharing their knowledge of financing mechanisms such as PPP, project financing, and green bond financing, as well as alternative markets for future sustainable investments in the Benelux region.

In recent news, Macquarie Group announced the issue of a £2 billion loan facility, including £500m in green tranches. The green tranches will be initially used to support renewable energy projects, with future plans to invest in energy efficiency, waste management, green buildings and clean transportation projects.

The facility builds on Macquarie's significant and longstanding commitment to green energy and technology as a fund manager, adviser, financier, participant in environmental markets and investor alongside clients. [macquarie.com]
