COLFINI 2026: structuring infrastructure finance in CEMAC
Stéphane DEFO moderated a panel on project engineering and complex financing at the second Colloque Financier International in Yaoundé.
Project structuring at the centre of the discussion
Horus Investment Group participated in COLFINI 2026, held on 23–24 April at the Hilton Hotel in Yaoundé. The event brought together financial-market stakeholders from Central Africa.
CEO Stéphane DEFO moderated Panel 5, dedicated to strengthening expertise in project engineering and complex financing.
Building financeable projects
The discussions connected the development of regional capital markets with the structuring of infrastructure projects in CEMAC. They highlighted the need for credible, bankable projects and dialogue between institutions, investors and project sponsors.
HIG’s participation reflected its work on financial structuring and the preparation of projects for investment.
The building blocks of bankability
Infrastructure bankability depends in part on clear revenue projections, risk allocation and consistency between contracts and financing. A financial model helps examine these assumptions and their implications for capital requirements.
HIG’s PPP and infrastructure services combine contractual structuring, modelling and risk allocation. Financial advisory helps organise due diligence and documentation with legal and technical specialists, preparing the ground for discussions with financing partners.
