EURO-IN Team of Experts assists Applicants in the assessment of applications for project finance guarantees by OeKB -Österreichische Kontrollbank AG. Membership of jet2euroweb Community is required.
We publish hereunder the Guidelines and the checklist issued by OeKB:
Project Finance
The number of investments in the production and especially in the infrastructure sector carried out on a project finance basis has increased in recent years.
As a consequence traditional securities, such as sovereign guarantees or bank guarantees, may not be available. In many emerging markets these securities, although available, may not be regarded as sufficient.
Transactions carried out on a project finance basis do not rely on a typical "bankable" security i.e. recourse to a foreign government, financial institution, or established corporation . The main security is the anticipated cash flow, which is generated from future proceeds of the project.
OeKB's experience in the field of project finance
OeKB has gained experience in this complex field over the last three decades. Since 1979 OeKB has had its own department for project evaluation and analysis, and has assessed about 270 projects to date.
During the last years some dozen commitments for projects amounting to more than USD 3.0 billion were issued.
We operate on a world-wide basis and all important sectors of economic activity are eligible for cover. In the past there has been a focus on particular sectors related to the core competences of Austrian industries, such as tourism (hotels), power, pulp and paper, metal industry, and infrastructure (rolling stock). Most of the projects we evaluated were implemented in Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, but also in OECD-countries as well as in South East Asia.
Available Services and Framework Conditions
On request, OeKB issues preliminary indications of support also in the earlier stages of a project.
There is no general lower or upper limit for OeKB's participation in project finance transactions.
In case of "multisourcing", when different Export Credit Agencies, international financial institutions, and commercial banks are involved, we are strongly committed to an extensive exchange of information and to an active cooperation with all parties involved in the risk assessment procedures and the overall evaluation.
A special requirement for our participation is that the origin of goods or services must be predominantly Austrian (60-70%), resulting in a positive effect on the Austrian current account balance.
Costs of project evaluation including fees for consultants will be borne by the applicant.
The regulations of the OECD Consensus for officially supported export credits as well as new OECD-rules for project finance are applicable.
