Project and Infrastructure Finance

A Work Class Approach to Financing and Structuring Project and Infrastructure Finance

Certificate

Course Overview

Project finance is a well-established technique for raising funds for large stand-alone projects that require huge initial investments but have long pay-offs. The pay-offs to the financiers come from the cash flows of the project, as the sponsors of these projects often ring-fence their balance sheets from the risks of the project. Therefore, it requires some asset-specific financial structuring so that the risks are minimized and fund providers get their expected returns.

Throughout this Project and Infrastructure Finance training course, the participants will be able to relate their learning to real-world issues and problems and develop their ability to develop a structured and well discipline approach to infrastructure and project finance process. By identifying problem areas for remedial action, the delegates will have the opportunity to acquire financial skills and technical knowledge that will enable them to manage more effectively the entire capital budget.

  • The various means of financing large-scale investments
  • The economics of public private partnerships
