Refinancing Under Pressure: Transparency as a Crucial Lever

EXPO REAL 2025 underscored a clear message: refinancing is now the dominant agenda item. The repercussions of the interest rate reversal continue to be felt, with rising construction costs, shrinking margins, and numerous projects initiated during the low-interest rate period facing significant pressure. Today, institutional investors and financing banks demand far more than optimistic business cases; they require robust scenarios, continuous cost transparency, and proactive management.

Transparency becomes a critical enabler
To secure financing today, one must convince – not only with location and concept, but with data. Project managers are increasingly obligated to identify risks early, make real-time adjustments, and provide reliable figures to financiers at all times. This is the only way to secure trust and capital.

New Models for a New Market Environment
Amidst these market shifts, there is a growing willingness to rethink financing models: Interim tranches, milestone-based disbursements, or hybrid models incorporating ESG criteria are gaining prominence. Crucially, data-driven management always replaces intuition. Only those who can calculate variants, simulate impacts, and react to deviations in real-time will maintain their financing capability.
