Employing a carefully engineered financing mix, project financing has long been used to fund large-scale natural resource projects, from pipelines and refineries to electric generating facilities. It has also been used on many high-profile corporate projects, including Euro Disneyland and Euro Tunnel. Project financing discipline includes understanding the rationale, how to prepare the financial plan, assess the risks, design the financing mix, and raise the funds. In addition, this technique helps to understand why some financing plans succeed and others fail. This course provides students with the theoretical and conceptual tools necessary for financial analysis and decision making in relation to project finance. (4 credits)
