In the wake of the financial crisis many large projects are no longer economically or financially feasible. Contractual arrangements are shaky and fail to address potential risks including foreign exchange risks. Private lenders and investors are less willing to support projects facing a deteriorating market environment

However, project finance (PF) remains a valuable tool. Although many projects are under strain from the economic crisis, PF offers a means for investors, creditors, and other unrelated parties to share costs, risks, and benefits of new investments in an economically efficient and fair manner.

Hence, this 2-day workshop was organized to help organisations discuss the changing landscape in project financing today, and how organisations could benefit from this, and secure funding in times of economic crisis. The trainer also shared her experience in project finance through case-studies.

The workshop covered a wide-range of topics from trends driving international project finance marketplace, risk management in project financing, renegotiating and restructuring project finance, project valuation methodologies, cash-flow analysis, and credit enhancement techniques and innovations.

This event was well received by both government and private sectors such as ECER development Council, Iskandar Investment Berhad, KUB Power Sdn. Bhd., Perak Management Investment Center, and Northern Corridor Implementation Authority to name a few.

The speaker who has consulting experiences from both financial and non-financial sectors managed to provide solutions to funding issues in project financing through a wider spectrum. The real-life example and valuable insights by TradeWiz further added value to this workshop.
