Abstract: Infrastructure financing, while laying foundations for financial progress and enhancement of the population's living conditions, sustains emerging and transition countries in providing basic economic and social infrastructure. However, experience shows that the creation, restoration and modernisation of infrastructure through projects that are environmentally conscious, in harmony with social fabric, economically feasible, and not against the political realities of the country in concern, is a long and winding road. In this context, innovative financial structures to deal with a wide spectrum of contractual, political, market, and credit risks are very much required.
