The book provides an in-depth description of cross-border project financing as a technique for financing capital-intensive projects as well as an overview of certain financing and derivative instruments currently available in the global financial markets."--BOOK JACKET.
Since the 1970s, the practice of financing major private and public sector capital-intensive projects has shifted to an ever-greater reliance on private funding sources, as opposed to direct financing through the issuance of corporate or government bonds. In the 1990s, these financing practices have undergone further changes with the increasing globalization of capital markets, the growth of derivative instruments, and the rapid increase in information technology that enhances cash-management practices. Today's project financing market is increasingly using sophisticated capital market, bank and agency financing mechanisms as well as using derivative instruments for asset and liability manag...

The contributions in this volume elucidate both ‘synthetic securitization’ (which involves the investors in exposure-based securities to particular risks in exchange for a fee) and conventional securitization (issuance of securities for the primary purpose of raising funds for the originator or owner of the assets being securitized). The various contributions illustrate how the structures employed in securitizations are readily capable of being applied to a wide range of income-generating assets, including such innovative asset classes as the following: •commercial mortgages •student rents •intellectual property rights •carbon emission allowances •life insurance policies •pro...

Mit der Modernisierung des Schuldverschreibungsgesetzes im Jahr 2009 beabsichtigte der Gesetzgeber, die Einbindung von Anleiheglaubigern in Unternehmenssanierungen zu erleichtern und sich dem wahrgenommenen Rechtswettbewerb im ausserinsolvenzlichen Restrukturierungs- und Schuldverschreibungsrecht zu stellen. Unter Anwendung eines okonomischen und rechtsvergleichenden Referenzrahmens unterzieht Markus Reps den deutschen Rechtsrahmen einer "Belastungsprobe". Die Bilanz fallt ambivalent aus. Das deutsche Recht bleibt stark verbesserungsbedurftig. Das gilt insbesondere unter dem Blickwinkel einer sachgerechten Mindestorganisation der Anleiheglaubiger und ihrer Finanzierungsbeziehung zum Emittenten (Debt Governance) sowie hinsichtlich des Bedurfnisses der Anleihepraxis nach Rechtssicherheit. Konkrete Reformperspektiven werden aufgezeigt, womit zugleich ein Beitrag zu der besseren Positionierung des deutschen Rechts im Rechtswettbewerb geleistet werden soll.
The world's agenda of international cooperation has changed. The conventional concerns of foreign affairs, international trade, and development assistance, are increasingly sharing the political center stage with a new set of issues. These include trans-border concerns such as global financial stability and market efficiency, risk of global climate change, bio-diversity conservation, control of resurgent and new communicable diseases, food safety, cyber crime and e-commerce, control of drug trafficking, and international terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. Globalization and increasing porosity of national borders have been key driving forces that have led to growing interdependence an...
A timely update to one of the most well-received books on project financing As an effective alternative to conventional direct financing, project financing has become one of the hottest topics in corporate finance. It's being used more and more frequently—and more successfully—on a wide variety of high-profile corporate projects, and has long been used to fund large-scale natural resource projects. But the challenges of successful project financing are immense, and the requirements of the process can easily be misunderstood. That's why John Finnerty has returned with the Third Edition of Project Financing. Drawing on his vast experience in the field, Finnerty takes you through the proces...
This cutting-edge financial casebook is divided into four modules: Structuring Projects, Valuing Projects, Managing Project Risk, and Financing Projects. The cases have been carefully selected to reflect actual use of project finance over the past five years in terms of geographic location (the cases come from 15 different countries) and industrial sectors. * Benjamin Esty, of the Harvard Business School, is one of the leading scholars in project finance. * Project finance is becoming the financing mechanism of choice for many private firms. * Cases require the reader to integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines when making a single managerial decision. This integration of functional areas such as strategy, operations, ethics, and human resource management encourages the reader to adopt a more integrative perspective and understanding of the interconnectedness of managerial decision-making.
