This has resulted in the postponement of a number of projects in certain industry sectors. Governments have seen tax receipts drastically reduced which has affected their ability to finance infrastructure projects, often irrespective of the perceived demand. Equity providers still seek to invest, however there are less opportunities due to market dislocation. Due to the demand for global infrastructure it is believed that project financings will return to their pre-crunch levels, or more so, however lenders’ liquidity costs will be passed on to the borrowers. Lenders will also be under stricter regulation both internally and externally.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe steps outlined in the guide are designed to provide a basic understanding for all those involved or interested in both structuring and assessing project financings. Secondary contracts involving constructors, operators, finance providers, suppliers and offtakers can be developed and assessed to determine their commercial viability over a projects life cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ea structured guide to assessing the commercial viability of  construction projects\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eexplains economic metrics to use in the decision making process\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edetailed case study shows how stakeholders apply the concept of project finance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eAnthony Merna\u003c\/b\u003e is senior partner of Oriel Group Practice, a multidisciplinary research and consultancy practice based in Manchester and a visiting lecturer to Manchester Business School at the University of Manchester.
