Europe is becoming a more attractive place to invest in infrastructure as governments move to boost their security and energy independence, a top executive at private capital firm EQT has said.
“The European opportunities that we’re seeing now are probably more attractive and more interesting than they were just a few years ago,” Masoud Homayoun, EQT’s global head of infrastructure, told the Financial Times.
While European governments will focus on defence for a lot of “very capital-intensive investments that are needed”, he added, “there is also a significant . . . desire to increase the overall resilience of the infrastructure in Europe”.
