Infrastructure Development and Financing Policies

The course, in a first instance, seeks to develop in participants the ability to apply economic and financial concepts, developing valuation models for the analysis of strategic public and private infrastructure projects for economic development. Later, problems in the development of public policies are studied to address new infrastructure projects, based on recent experiences in different countries. Luego, structuring and risk mitigation techniques are introduced in the financing of infrastructure projects. Techniques for the selection of feasible projects to be implemented from the public sector, to be carried out exclusively by the private sector, under a public-private alliance, are also discussed. Finally, models and techniques of development and bid evaluation are offered for project selection. The most recent approaches to multilateral organizations and credit agencies, private commercial banking, public banking, the capital market and their role in development are included.
