Risk Analysis for Project-Based Infrastructure Financing : A Reference Framework

This work is a part of an ongoing research that addresses the issue of exploring a risk profile of Project Financing (PF) mechanism and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects for infrastructure development and focuses on developing a risk analysis framework for the Kazakhstani PPP market. To achieve this, the research is carried out in three stages. First, the authors provide a pertinent literature review of PPP projects being delivered in Kazakhstan and gain advantages from experienced countries with the purpose of establishing the research background for the risk analysis. Second, an exploratory analysis will be conducted to investigate the risk profile and factors that might affect the success of the PPP projects. Finally, a risk analysis framework and model is expected to be developed as a reference for future PPP projects. It is noted, that the research is still in progress and no final results are derived as yet, hence, in this paper the authors attempt to present the first stage's preliminary results highlighting relevant points with suggestions for further research
