Infocus International Group, a leading global provider of strategic information and professional services, is pleased to present the Project Finance & Project Financial Modelling online masterclass. The sessions are scheduled to commence on February 20th, July 9th & November 18th, 2024.

In today's project finance (PF) landscape, transactions demand a heightened level of expertise not only in developing more advanced and adaptable financial models but also in incorporating the latest risk mitigation and credit enhancement instruments. As major capital projects worldwide face increased scrutiny regarding Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) impacts, there is a growing array of options and models for ESG mitigation, insurance, guarantee products, and financing instruments. This online course comprehensively covers the latest PF strategies, risk mitigation instruments, and financial modelling best practices.

The primary objective of this course is to equip participants with an advanced understanding of the practical and documentation requirements of all stakeholders involved in today’s PF transactions. The program offers proven PF analytical strategies and transaction structuring techniques, enabling participants to quantitatively assess risks, overcome constraints, and successfully achieve project financial closure. Additionally, the course aims to enhance checklists and benchmark metrics that participants can use to minimize losses, gaining favorable views from both management and regulatory bodies.

A participant from the Asian Development Bank noted, “The course had a good balance of both the quantitative and qualitative factors to be considered in project finance modelling. The instructor is experienced yet approachable.”

Another participant from PE Power expressed, “It is a very good program for both beginners in Project Finance and as a refresher for practitioners alike.”
