PIPING UP
"If the strength of the Pensions
Infrastructure Platform and other
institutional investors to make
investments in infrastructure
has been weakened by the
budget announcement, then this
presumably raises the stakes for
project fi nance investments from
other sources: Chinese money,
those banks which are still lending,
other sovereign wealth funds."
Jonathan Hart, Pinsent Masons
