"Edward Yescombe's practical guide to project finance offers a systematic approach to this relatively new discipline. In demonstrating how a handful of principles underlie the details of long-term debt financing for major projects, his examination of financial engineering tools follows the typical project development process. Because financial arrangements dictate every aspect of a project's development and contractual arrangements, all participants need to understand how project finance works and how the financial structure affects their roles. Features such as a glossary of technical terms, cross-references and an international scope should make this useful as an introduction and a general handbook" - in jacket.
