Abstract

In discussing progress on achieving SDG target 6.1 (universal access to water services by 2023), a large ‘financing gap’ is frequently referred to. It is often repeated in development circles that the key to bridging the ‘financing gap’ in the water sector is through the creation of ‘bankable’ water projects. However, there remains a wide gap between technical professionals in the water sector and market-oriented financiers in understanding how ‘bankability’ is practically operationalized. This paper presents a framework of bankability, which highlights the complexity of making projects in the water services sector bankable. This complexity means that making projects bankable requires innovative water project structuring to align interests of investors, water entrepreneurs, and society to leverage more capital into the water sector.

水利资金缺口与“银行性”的多重解读
在讨论实现可持续发展目标6.1(到2023年普及供水服务)的进展时,经常提到一个巨大的“融资缺口”。发展界经常重申,弥合供水部门“资金缺口”的关键是创建“可银行化”的供水项目。然而,水务部门的技术专业人员和以市场为导向的金融家在理解“银行性”如何实际运作方面仍然存在巨大差距。本文提出了一个银行性框架,强调了使供水服务部门的项目银行化的复杂性。这种复杂性意味着,要使项目银行化,就需要创新的水项目结构,以调整投资者、水企业家和社会的利益,从而将更多资本投入水行业。
