1.1 What are the main trends/significant developments in the project finance market in your jurisdiction?

The past year has once again been dominated by COVID-19 and the restrictive measures imposed by the federal and state governments to combat the pandemic. Climate change and renewable energy have also remained prominent on the agenda and have been prioritised further by the new federal government made up of Social Democrats, Greens and Liberals. It also became apparent that thousands of bridges on Germany's motorway and highway network are in need of urgent repair or replacement, further increasing the vast investment requirements in Germany's infrastructure over the next eight to 10 years.
