Project Finance

Project finance is a long-term financing of infrastructure and industrial projects where the source of debt repayment is limited to the cash flow generated by the underlying project with non or limited recourse to the project sponsors. It has been widely used especially to finance large-scale projects worldwide due to such recourse characteristics.
