Francais International Funding Source Industrial And Commercial Loans English Financing Energy Projects Over the past two decades, financing projects in oil & gas producing countries has become more complex. Before the 1970's, the majority of large energy and power projects in developing countries were undertaken by international oil companies and monopolistic power companies that drew upon their own internal resources for project financing. Project financing during this era usually involved traditional corporate financing, including equity ownership by the sponsor of the project and traditional debt financing with recourse against both the project and the assets of the corporation sponsoring the project. Power Projects With more financing alternatives available from Opec Funds, the natural tendency over the past decade has been a move towards more complexity and flexibility in project finance. Developments in financing of power projects, including the greater degree of discretion exercised by us in providing financing directly to a project company, as well as the many new sources of debt and equity financing available to a project company in the power generation industry. >Oil and Gas Development Projects The oil and gas industry now draws upon same evolving sources of financing as the power generation industry. Joint ventures between Opec Funds and international oil companies, which has resulted in the availability of our resources for oil and gas project financing. In addition, commercial borrowing by national oil companies has increased, which suggests intensive participation by us in energy projects. Natural Gas Transmission/Distribution Projects Natural gas transmission and distribution projects have traditionally been treated much like power generation projects. Viewed by governments as a natural monopoly, financing of natural gas pipeline systems has often entailed more governmental participation than the upstream energy sector. However, the rapidity of privatization in many emerging economies, particularly in Latin America and Far East, suggests that there may be less government involvement in this sector in the future. Presently, major natural gas pipeline projects designed to serve cities in the Southern Cone of South America are in the development stage. See Wall Street Journal, August 14, 1996, p. A10. The private/public financing structures that emerge for these projects could provide a new model for major energy project in the next century. The firm advises on corporate strategy and structure, raises capital, makes markets in financial instruments, and manages investment assets. Opec Funds also commits its own capital to promising enterprises and invests and trades to capture market opportunities.
