Loan Negotiation and Evaluation

Dates:

  • 24 - 28 November 2025 - London (£2,850)

Course Outline

The impact of various financial crises and the tightening of credit markets has reduced the borrowing options available to governments. In addition, the cost of available credit has increased substantially, leading to a heightened need for governments to conduct a critical evaluation of different borrowing options and to negotiate the most favourable terms.

This course will build participants’ analytical skills and provide them with the necessary tools to evaluate different financing options, as well as empowering them to select and negotiate the most appropriate terms. It will guide delegates to acquire a complete understanding of financial markets and different creditors, and the need to achieve the appropriate balance between borrowing cost and associated risk.
