Project Financing

Infrastructure, which includes roads and transportation, water supply and sanitation, energy and telecommunication, ports and shipping, has major implications for a variety of development outcomes, at the household level, firm level and also at the global level. Infrastructure creation is highly capital intensive and needs long gestation periods. The provision and maintenance of adequate infrastructure facilities at reasonable costs is certainly essential for the rapid achievement of sustainable economic growth. The book discusses various aspects of project financing for infrastructure creation and its impact on economic growth. Thirty eight scholarly articles are included in the book, particularly in the area of project financing.
