Typical Capital Structure Considerations
Ethiopian project finance transactions frequently require clear sponsor equity commitments, defined revenue contracts, and mitigation strategies for currency exposure. International lenders evaluate debt service coverage ratios, contract enforceability, and regulatory approvals before issuing binding terms.
Projects lacking defined revenue agreements, credible sponsor equity, or structured risk allocation rarely progress beyond indicative discussions.
Why Structured Advisory Matters
Cross-border project finance involves multiple stakeholders, including local regulators, domestic banks, international lenders, and development institutions. A disciplined advisory framework reduces execution risk, aligns documentation with lender expectations, and shortens negotiation cycles.
We engage only on commercially viable projects with defined sponsors, documented assets, and realistic capital requirements.
