Thematic Network of Challenges in Project Fund Financing and Proposed Solutions by Milad Easaei, Mohammad Tohidi, Mohammad Mahdi Fereydooni

“…While project funds hold significant potential for financing projects in the capital market, their adoption has been limited, with only one instance of utilization to date, primarily due to structural deficiencies and fundamental challenges. To address these issues, this study proposes targeted solutions categorized into three areas: (1) process and structural challenges, including centralizing financial resources under the fund manager, setting a defined lifespan for the fund with penalties and incentives, revising the technical supervisory entity's responsibilities, reconsidering mandatory underwriting and market-making requirements, incorporating preferred shares, and separating the boards of the project fund and project company; (2) environmental challenges, such as encouraging active government participation, facilitating fund establishment through regulatory support, and increasing investor participation via specialized investment funds; and (3) legal and regulatory challenges, with the most critical solution being the strengthening of the legal and regulatory framework to ensure clarity and reduce uncertainties in the operation of project funds. …”
