      The increasingly frequent use of project financing and cover from export credit agencies (ECAs) is due to the growing demand for long-term financing for capital-intensive projects.

      Project finance enables the sponsor to finance large projects off-balance sheet at usually attractive conditions. It also makes it possible to share the many risks associated with complex capital-intensive investments with the lenders.

      Focus on project financing secured by export credit guarantees

      Investors who want to realise large-volume projects face a whole range of challenges that can be effectively overcome with individual, tailor-made solutions.

      • Does the project fulfil the requirements for coverage by an export credit agency (ECA)?
      • Which financing structure best suits the project concept?
      • How do we make the project bankable?
      • What are the main project risks and how do we address them?
      • How do we find a consensus with several lenders and ECAs?
