O7IM 2045A - Financial modeling and risks analysis from project finance

The aim of this course is to provide each student with practical financial modelling and risk analysis skills. Students will learn how to model in Excel forward-looking financial statements and cash flow forecasts, as well as debt coverage ratios, equity ratios and sensitivity analysis. This analysis is relevant for company management, debt financiers, equity investors and public authorities. In addition, the course will provide an overview of risk analysis and mitigation used in project and hybrid finance. While we use Project Finance structuring as a learning tool, the skills acquired are applicable to a wide range of financial fields. Practical case studies in the infrastructure and renewable energy sectors will illustrate the concepts
