Project Finance For more than 25 years, APICORP has been actively supporting the development of hydrocarbon based projects across the Arab World. Although focused on our ten shareholder states and other Arab countries, our support extends beyond the region where a new project has direct benefits to the Arab world economies. Many of the projects in which APICORP is involved, require large capital outlays, long construction and commissioning periods, and multinational sources of services and supplies. Successful implementation, however, also requires well structured project finance, which provides the necessary flexibility for the client. APICORP has distinguished itself with a thorough knowledge of regional project finance in the GCC, in North Africa and in countries around the Mediterranean. Our capabilities in project finance are enhanced through contacts with the leading financial institutions and, at the country level, through government relations. As an arranger of project finance, APICORP seeks to contribute to the success of the financing by undertaking key roles such as : Structuring Bank : to ensure the client has the most flexible structure, at a competitive price, given prevailing market trends; Underwriter : to assure the client that the funds will be available on the terms agreed; Book-Runner and Information Memorandum : to ensure the successful distribution of the debt in the regional markets, thereby creating new bank relationships for the client for the future; Technical Bank : to act as a liaison between the borrower and the banks and to assist the prospective lenders with their technical understanding of the project and associated risks; Modelling Bank : to construct the model to determine / demonstrate debt service capability of the client. In providing the above-mentioned activities, APICORP brings the following to its clients: Strong ties throughout the Arab world due to our pan-Arab ownership Strong technical and advisory capabilities in the hydrocarbon sector with experienced teams of engineers, economists and financiers. Leadership in syndicating regional oil and gas financings. Strategic location maximizing our ability to meet the needs of businesses within and outside of the region.
