1. Project Finance Overview
Definisi Project Finance PF
A simple cash-flow stream
Nilai dari PF tergantung dari pola arus yang dihasilkan dari proyek individu dan nilai kolateral dari aset. Sumber arus kas dapat berasalh
dari pembeli atau konsumen tunggal
Non- or limited-recourse
An independent SPE is created to hold the project assets and to integrate all legal contracts in an effective and efficient manner for
funding, building and operating a single purpose project. SPE is owned by one or a few sponsors and it is highly leveraged.
Alokasi Risiko
PF digunakan untuk proyek besar, kompleks, dan berbiaya mahal seperti yang terjadi pada sektor sumber daya alam dan infrastruktur,
yang didalamnya terdiri dari beberapa kontrak legal antara supplier dan pembeli

Why PF Structure? Sponsors’ Motivation
Risk mitigationDebt capacity
By isolating the asset in a standalone project company, project finance reduces the possibility of risk contamination, the phenomenon whereby a
failing asset drags an otherwise healthy sponsoring firm into distress.
The sponsor can preserve corporate debt capacity.
To create asset specific governance structure
Separate legal incorporation, which assumes a specific project and few growth options, reduces both the cost of monitoring managerial actions
and assessing performance, and wasteful expenditures and sub-optimal reinvestment.
Deterrent against strategic behavior by the third parties
Sponsor can involve the critical parties for the project, including the public sector, as shareholders to prevent future conflict.
By involving international banks and multilateral agencies whose interest is solely in cash-flow maximization by the project, the sponsor may
prevent harmful action by the host government.
