Project analysis and financing are vital steps in developing both private- and public-sector investment opportunities. The analysis is designed to assess the project's potential; the finance is designed to develop the funding needed to achieve that potential. Despite their obvious interrelatedness, the two topics have traditionally been considered separately, and a full knowledge of one subject has been a prerequisite for learning the other. In this book, Gerald Pollio has undertaken to unite the two, providing theoretical and practical perspectives for the benefit of both practitioner and student. (text from the publisher)
