This book surveys and compares eight project finance agencies in countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). These agencies provide an important stimulus to economic development in the Third World. Their services are valuable to businessmen in OECD nations wishing to penetrate overseas markets, to businessmen in developing nations seeking capital, and to governments in developing countries. By comparing the specific characteristics of the agencies, this book is a valuable tool for companies seeking investment assistance as well as governments hoping to attract foreign investment.
