As the final part of his Public Private Partnership series, Ian follows on from his in depth look at Structured Finance in the last episode by explaining the different structures that can be put in place to finance a project. He will discuss the aim of project finance, non-recourse project finance, the flow of funds, alternatives to non-recourse project finance, Islamic finance and the various sources of finance available.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Primarily what is called ‘step in rights’, which the lenders will have if the project company defaults, the lenders will be able to step in directly with the Contracting Authority to make sure that their debt is repaid.’
‘When I was doing a lot of PPPs before the financial crisis the common way of doing this was through a bond structure that then had what’s called an insurance wrapper around it to protect the bond holders.’
‘In my opinion, PPP structured finance don’t really work below a $50 million or £50 million value. Yes, I’ve done projects at the $20-30 million and its sort of worked but it’s not ideal.’
‘Repayment of debt is generally tied to a fixed or floating rate of interest and periodic payments, very similar to your house mortgage.’
