2016 was more interesting than many of us would have liked. We started the year with the collapse of oil, a 1000 point drop in the FTSE, and falling power prices. Further uncertainty came with the will they-won’t they game of central banks’ plans for interest rate changes along with the ongoing spectacle of the U.S. election. And, of course, we can’t escape the topic of the year -- Brexit. What did all that mean for the project finance market and will 2017 bring any relief?
Please join us and panel of experts for a discussion of the year gone by and expectations for project finance in 2017. Drinks and canapés will follow.
