Evolution, nature and outcomes of project finance

Keywords: project finance, infrastructure facilities, mechanism, stages, factors, approaches, outcomes

Abstract

Subject. From the scientific point of view, project finance is of particular interest, as it meets the modern criteria of investment projects' financing to the greatest extent.
Purposes. To trace the evolution, clarify the nature and identify possible outcomes of project finance as one of the main modern ways of financing investment projects, primarily with borrowed funds.
Methodology. By means of comparative analysis of foreign countries' experience, the sources of project finance were compared. The methods of scientific abstraction and analogy allowed to identify the nature of project finance as a method of financing investment projects and its distinctive features. To identify approaches to periodization of stages of the project finance development in the world economy the historical method was used.
Results. We identified stages and “waves” of project finance development as well as a number of factors that allowed to pinpoint the objective need for finding alternative ways of financing infrastructure facilities. Three main approaches used in determining the nature of project finance were outlined: credit, legal, investment-profitable. A comparative analysis of traditional and project finance was carried out.
Conclusions. We highlighted the criteria that allow defining project finance as a separate economic category, gave the definition of “project finance” and outlined the outcomes of its use. Possible further line of research on this topic was also pointed out.
