Investment Tracker - March 2024 update

The report, produced by the Investors Committee and powered by Macquarie Capital, reveals a nearly 50% reduction in financing volume in 2023, compared to the previous year. Despite this decline, the industry witnessed substantial investments, some exceeding 1 billion EUR, underscoring its resilience. Currently, the swap rates are slightly lower than they were in the summer of 2023. 

Financing fibre optics is becoming more difficult. Investors and entrepreneurs need guidance. To this end, the FTTH Council Europe's Investors Committee, together with Macquarie, has put together and launched this first-of-its-kind overview of fibre financing transactions in selected European countries. This includes current trends, risk factors that are currently in focus, and country-specific lists of transactions we have seen in the market. Where this information is public, these lists include financing volume, banks involved, financial and legal advisors, and expansion targets. The Investors Committee will update the information twice a year.
