Investment Tracker - March 2025 update

Following a record-breaking peak in 2022, the FTTX financing market has seen reduced but stable activity. Lenders are now prioritizing homes activated to evaluate cash flow potential. While transaction volumes and deal counts remained high in recent years, activity has gradually slowed since 2022, with a more cautious outlook for 2025 amid a challenging market environment.

Financing fibre optics is becoming more difficult. Investors and entrepreneurs need guidance. To this end, the FTTH Council Europe's Investors Committee, together with Macquarie, has put together and launched this first-of-its-kind overview of fibre financing transactions in selected European countries. This includes current trends, risk factors that are currently in focus, and country-specific lists of transactions we have seen in the market. Where this information is public, these lists include financing volume, banks involved, financial and legal advisors, and expansion targets. The Investors Committee will update the information twice a year.
