Project Finance


Project finance is a form of syndicated finance designed for long–term infrastructure and industrial projects often involving governments. We play a significant part in funding projects in various industrial sectors, catalyzing public and private partnerships and reducing project risk using a mix of government credits, insurance and private lending.

  3. The project company signs a loan agreement with the financial institutions, and borrows funds for the completion and operation of the project.
