Financing Mining and Critical Infrastructure in Eurasia
The overall need for capital in the mining sector is immense, driven by demand for critical minerals essential for the global energy transition. Central Asia presents a compelling but challenging destination for investors and developers, with vast natural resources, a strategic location, and growing economies.
This session combines two focused panel discussions:
- Capital Markets Panel – Examining how capital markets are responding to the mining sector’s capex needs, including the role of London, Astana, and other listing venues.
- Project Finance Panel – Exploring the mechanics of mining project finance and investment in Central Asia, featuring perspectives from development banks, commercial lenders, and advisory firms.
A government keynote address from a Central Asian mining ministry is expected to follow the panel discussions.
