Financing Infrastructure Projects cover

This essential guide covers various financing methods for infrastructure projects. Financing Infrastructure Projects offers insights for engineers and finance professionals alike.

The book Financing Infrastructure Projects serves as a comprehensive guide to the various methods and strategies employed in the financing of infrastructure projects. This fully revised second edition incorporates updated insights and trends within the sector, emphasizing the importance of bankability in infrastructure transactions. The authors, who possess extensive backgrounds in both banking and engineering, present the latest developments in effectively implementing financial strategies for infrastructure projects.

Taking a global approach, Financing Infrastructure Projects offers an accessible overview of project finance, financial instruments, and engineering principles. It explores the finance structures that facilitate the procurement of infrastructure assets. The inclusion of two detailed case studies allows readers to see the practical application of the concepts discussed, showcasing examples from different industries and geographic regions. This hands-on approach enhances the reader's understanding of the complexities involved in financing infrastructure.

Whether you are an engineer, a finance student, or an individual entering the banking industry, Financing Infrastructure Projects equips you with a thorough understanding of the rationale behind using finance as a procurement method for infrastructure projects. The book demystifies the financial processes and provides essential insights into the successful execution of infrastructure financing.

A very useful glossary of financial terms is provided. The different types of public–private partnerships (PPP) are described together with a summary of how they can be structured. The influence of financial and foreign exchange markets is also described in detail. Typical risk in the procurement of infrastructure projects is explained, with a breakdown in terms of financial and non-financial risks. I found the case studies particularly valuable: one a PPP school in the UK and the other a project in the Middle East. While the book does not give all the answers to funding an infrastructure project, it is certainly a must-read for any civil engineer involved in the early stages of project development as well as those responsible for financial delivery.
