Project financing is and will continue to play a substantial role in the financing and implementation of energy and infrastructure projects across the region. 

This talk, an update of the well-received presentation of the same title delivered by the speaker in February 2018, will address some of the basics of project financing and how a construction contract fits into a wider project financing structure including approaches to risk allocation, security and the interaction with other project parties.

Webinar participants will be able to watch and listen to (via computer audio, recommended for security reasons, or telephone line) the video presentation and Q&A discussion on their screens, as well as participate in the Q&A discussion by sending in their questions to the moderator via text using the built-in Q&A function.
