Rising interest rates, shifting valuations and high multiples have led to a disruptive financing environment across digital infrastructure in APAC. Leaders from across the region discuss these challenges and solutions they’ve implemented as they set their sights on growth. 

 

  • How damaging has the current macroeconomic environment been to digital infrastructure M&A and dealmaking in APAC? How is access to financing and shifts in valuations influencing the M&A landscape? 
  • What strategies have been implemented to deal with the headwinds? 
  • How are deal structures changing in APAC? What are the best routes to new financing? 
  • What impact are current interest rates having on increased debt costs and the utilisation of project financings via local banks?
