Are you taking the right decisions for your PFI project? . Public-Private Partnership (PPP) financing presents exciting opportunities for project financiers. However, given the complexity of these deals and their associated risks it is essential for all parties to be able to construct efficient and accurate financial models.
. This symposium will bring to light the key areas that enable the understanding, use and development of financial models for PFI projects.
. Suitable for all those currently involved in PPP/PFI and wishing to brush up on their modelling skills it will provide excellent networking opportunities for all involved. It is also an ideal starting point either for those considering PPP/PFI or for those new to the sector. . “Most impressed and exceeded my expectations – very well done!” Andrew Mowie, PFI Contract Manager, Sussex Police – delegate in 2006
