What is it?In both developed and developing economies around the world, the private sector is widely viewed as the engine for growth. In support of this initiative, Foreign Direct Investment is actively encouraged. However, venturing outside of an OECD economy is likely to be as challenging as it is rewarding and prior to investing in a development opportunity in an emerging market/ transition economy (whether by way of equity acquisition or greenfield development), investors will often seek an independent opinion on the technical, market and financial viability of the proposed acquisition or project. Similarly, where international debt financing is envisaged as part of the overall funding package, prospective lenders will often require an independent corroboration of the project’s forecast ability to service its debt.
