Project finance is used to build projects such as large-scale energy, infrastructure, toll roads, ethanol, and recycling projects, as well as many others. Project finance requires careful analysis and structuring of a wide variety of risks. This completely updated third edition addresses these risks and their resolution, and details the necessary elements of a successful project financing. Mirroring the structure of an actual project finance deal, this all-in-one handbook examines each step of the process.
