- Macquarie Development Corporation
(“MDC”) will invest in pre-construction development stage
infrastructure projects in Latin America
- Investment corporation with
high-quality foundation shareholders will target a growing pipeline
of investment opportunities sourced by Macquarie Capital in Latin
America
Macquarie Capital, the corporate advisory, principal investing
and capital markets arm of Macquarie Group (“Macquarie”) (ASX:MQG;
ADR:MQBKY), today announced an agreement to form Macquarie
Development Corporation (“MDC”), an investment corporation that
will invest equity in pre-construction infrastructure development
projects in Latin America. Macquarie Capital will partner with
foundation shareholders China Communication Construction Company
(“CCCC’) and Banco Modal and expects additional shareholders to
participate in the coming months.
“We are excited to launch Macquarie Development Corporation,”
said Nick Butcher, Head of Infrastructure for Macquarie Capital in
the Americas. “MDC will utilize the unique expertise of Macquarie
Capital in infrastructure and energy development across the
Americas to capture what we believe is a growing pipeline of
high-quality investment opportunities linked to the growth of these
markets. We look forward to working with our partners to source,
develop and finance much-needed infrastructure development
projects.”
“A shortage of development capital continues to be a constraint
on infrastructure development in many Latin American markets,” said
Mark Ramsey, Head of Latin America Infrastructure for Macquarie
Capital. “Macquarie Development Corporation will work with local
developers in the pre-construction phases of development to make
viable projects investment-ready for traditional infrastructure
investors and funds. MDC represents a significant opportunity to
help facilitate economic growth in the region.”
“Latin America is one of the most prospective infrastructure
markets in the global arena. Currently, China Communication
Construction Company is transforming its business model from a
traditional EPC contractor into an infrastructure investor and
developer. Joining MDC as one of the founding partners is part of
this transformation. We believe that the forming of MDC will not
only bring opportunities for CCCC to expand its business in the
region, but also create tremendous opportunities for the
development of infrastructure facilities in Latin America," said
Ziyu Sun, Vice President of CCCC. "CCCC and Macquarie are strategic
partners in global business development. Investing alongside their
other MDC partners, Macquarie and CCCC will combine the two
companies' strengths and deepen the collaboration in the global
infrastructure market. May MDC have a bright and prosperous
future.”
“This partnership is a clear indication that infrastructure
projects in Latin America are becoming more and more attractive to
foreign investors. There is a huge pent-up demand for investments
in infrastructure and logistics in the region and countries like
Brazil - among others - will greatly benefit from the arrival of
industry leaders such as Macquarie and CCCC. We, at Modal, are very
proud to be part of this new platform," said Cristiano Ayers,
Partner at Banco Modal.
Macquarie Capital will support MDC with its significant global
development expertise in energy and infrastructure, its extensive
project financing expertise and its demonstrated capacity to source
and assess development opportunities in Latin America.
