Annual International Conference
PROJECT FINANCE: RUSSIA & CIS 2011
18 & 19 May 2011, Moscow, Renaissance Moscow Hotel, Olympijskij prospekt 18/1
Having set out on the road to sustainable growth, Russia is gradually becoming a more attractive prospect for project financing. Foreign and domestic investors can find numerous highly profitable projects in Russian industry today. However, there are risks and problems still to overcome.
Primarily, there is the confusion about what project financing actually is. If Russian managers are talking about project financing, they usually mean the financing of projects. Western bankers are ready to confuse the issue in an effort to reduce risks: even distinction between projects financing and structured finance is becoming unclear. Major project credits are secured by exports of raw materials to remove the country risk.
To mitigate country and currency transfer risk, the best insurance foreign creditors can get is the backing of multilateral institutions, which is actively promoting project finance in Russia and the CIS.
As rating agencies keep expecting Russia’s creditworthiness to improve in the near future, investors are becoming more confident and exploring opportunities in non-oil sectors.
