The course focuses on the development of different financing systems for industrial and infrastructure projects, depending on whether they are structured through direct investments of the promoters or simply through purchase and sale contracts, either supply or turnkey. In the first case the establishment of a vehicle company is normally required and the financing is received by this entity, while in the second case the exporter's objective is to offer medium- and long-term financing to the buyer of its product or project, as a fundamental tool for signing the contract. The different types of financial products available to Spanish exporters and promoters, of bilateral, multilateral and commercial origin, will be developed in detail.

We can break down the objectives of the module as follows:
Identify the common elements in all medium and long term financing.
Understand well the different basic financing structures that apply when financing exports of capital goods and investments in industrial or infrastructure projects.
Differentiate the applicable financing structures according to whether the operation takes place in an emerging country or in a developed country.
Know how the terms and conditions of the commercial contract affect the financing of operations in the medium and long term.
Know how the exporter, contractor or investor must ensure that the financing is truly a resource and that it becomes an instrument that gives viability to a commercial operation.
To do this,
The most viable type of financing will be analysed and identified according to the characteristics of the operation: type of contract, buyer, seller, country, guarantees, etc.
Risk coverage will be studied in the different phases of the execution of a project or contract.
The different bilateral instruments to support Spanish exports and investments abroad will be analysed.
The products and instruments of the Multilateral and Development Banks from which Spanish companies can benefit will be developed.
