Securing finance for such projects continues to be a challenge for these companies as the total cost must be examined not just from an engineering and construction perspective, but with a 'debt lens'.
- Financiers now want to know how and why a project will attract and retain labour and talent ahead of competitors.
- A company seeking funds for a single project will almost certainly be dealing not with one financier, but several.
- Long-term performance of the project is being closely monitored and controlled by lending syndicates.
