This reflected a growing trend among European corporations to tap capital markets instead of bank debt to secure debt financing.

                                        In 2009, a Macquarie consortium won the tender to build six Irish schools under a public-private partnership programme. The work was financed mainly with debt, with only €50,000 of straight equity injected into the project. Payments from the Irish government were the sole source of revenue. However, the advent of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe put the government's ability to pay in doubt.
