Advanced PPP Project Finance & Infrastructure for Bankers Masterclass

How bankers break a project into its component risks, allocate and price them, then structure the financing — from market analysis and key agreements to capital markets.

The programme

Banks are moving into project finance faster than their credit skills are moving with them. As private players take a larger role in infrastructure, the lenders who win are those who can break a structure into its component parts — construction, operating, political and regulatory risks — and put each one where it belongs. This masterclass works at a deliberate pace through risk analysis and mitigation with a specific emphasis on structured financing, then through the full menu of funding: bank markets, bond issuance, leasing, development banks, ECAs and other official creditors. The cohort works through assembling market information, developing key agreements and conducting rigorous quantitative analysis of live project structures.

What you will do

Break a project structure into its component parts, then rebuild the analysis from market information to financial close.
Allocate construction, operating, political and regulatory risks to the parties best placed to carry them.
Work the full financing checklist, from development banks, ECAs and official creditors to bond issuance and leasing alternatives.
Test project economics under uncertainty, weighing probabilistic against non-probabilistic model-building and competing cost-of-capital approaches.
Negotiate the key contractual agreements, knowing which clauses and structuring considerations lenders will fight for.
Use capital markets for projects where bank appetite alone will not close the deal.

Frequently asked

Who is the PPP and infrastructure project finance masterclass for?

It is built for bankers and investment bankers moving into project finance, project finance modellers and financial advisors, and sponsors, joint-venture partners and project developers. The programme moves at a deliberate pace, so it suits lenders whose credit skills are catching up with their institution’s ambitions in infrastructure.

Which sources of finance does the course cover?

The full menu of funding is worked through: bank markets, bond issuance, leasing, development banks, export credit agencies (ECAs) and other official creditors, and the use of capital markets where bank appetite alone will not close the deal. Risk analysis and mitigation are treated first, with a specific emphasis on structured financing.

Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the masterclass in English and French, and a tailored in-house edition can be built around your institution’s project pipeline and risk appetite. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request; fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
