Latin America Infrastructure Financing Demand Outstrips Private Capital Supply, Principal Asset Management Says
- Latin American infrastructure needs about USD 320 billion annually, creating private debt opportunities as fiscal constraints limit public funding and banks retreat.
- Infrastructure investment must reach about 6.2% of regional GDP to close the gap, compared with a historical rate near 2.2%.
- Latin America-focused private debt funds raised approximately USD 800 million in 2025, compared with USD 356 billion globally.
- Projects worth about USD 538 billion could enter construction in 2026–2027; private debt supplies less than 1% of infrastructure financing.
- Latin American transactions typically offer an illiquidity premium of 100–150 basis points over comparable US credits, reflecting shallower markets.
