Project and Infrastructure Finance

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

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.
