Presentation of SNC-Lavalin Capital Projects presentation PPP Definition Stakeholders Major risks
PPP - Definition Project finance focuses on the prospects of the project to generate cash flows during operations and its capacity to repay the loan as opposed to an analysis of the credit of the sponsors; Project finance is therefore generally referred to as limited recourse financing and is the most widely used form of financing for public and private infrastructure projects. Limited recourse financing
PPP - Definition PPP means certainty: The project cannot move forward unless: All contracts are in place; Sponsors have provided their unconditional commitment to provide equity and other guarantees; Lenders have provided their unconditional commitment to provide financing (mainly depends on the above conditions, but not only). All costs are included in the financial model at financial close. Cost of financing of private sector reflects risk allocation to Project Co. (this point is often overlooked when comparing private sector and public sector funding cost in PPP vs conventional type Financing must be secured before any design-construction work can start.
