Abstract:
One growth export is our expertise in structuring and analyzing infrastructure finance transactions. Robert S. Tucker, vice president with a credit enhancer, highlights the types of transactions. Managing director Andrew B. Stein pinpoints the key issues from the vantage point of a banker involved in structuring these types of transactions. Also, he introduces a case study to elicit comments from the other panel presenters given their different perspectives. Isabel Saltzman, managing director of an emerging market portfolio group, overviews the emerging markets and then dissects the characteristics of country risk. William E. Oliver, global municipal research director for an institutional investor, gives rich details on sub-sovereign activity and revenue bond transactions.Keywords: Project finance capital markets; emerging markets; toll roads; Santiago Chile Airport
