Infrastructure

Credit Suisse is one of the world’s premier infrastructure advisory firms with strong industry knowledge and relationships. We have expertise across the entire spectrum of infrastructure sectors, including ports, airports, toll roads, rail, energy and waste and water.  With dedicated bankers in the Americas, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, we are uniquely positioned to provide a truly global perspective to our clients.

The Infrastructure advisory team has advised on many landmark public-private partnership (P3) transactions and we have significant insights into and access to key infrastructure investors (strategic as well as financial). We also benefit from the insights provided by Mr. Norm Mineta – former US Secretary of Transportation and advisor to CS, as well as our experience working with governments and sovereign wealth funds. This expertise, combined with our unparalleled project finance franchise, makes CS the advisor of choice for clients in the infrastructure space.
