2 3 Day Master Class on PPP and Project Finance Course Information Overview The Middle East needs new infrastructure. Roads, airports, schools, hospitals and housing: the list is enormous and growing. Yet severely limited budgets and deficits continue to prevent government at all levels from delivering the kinds of structural change that has always been needed. In response, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other countries in the Middle East have moved forward slowly with PPP initiatives. They have every reason to be cautious. Other countries have had a very varied experience with PPP. Challenges remain throughout the continent and are intensifying in the current environment. This course faces these head on and delivers expertise in an interactive environment filled with case studies, group discussions and technical evaluation. Meet Your Course Director Dr. Julian Spencer Roche Real Estate Consultant and Trainer, UK and Australia From an old real estate family in the UK, Dr. Julian Roche worked as an economist for DRI McGraw-Hill and as a partner in a real estate development company with US investments before launching his own real estate consultancy specialising in global data provision. Later he spent five years as a senior consultant to a venture capital company in the UK, where he advised on corporate structure, flotations, trade sales and business valuations. He has also published a number of books on real estate derivatives and business valuations and has presented real estate courses internationally for a number of years. Why attend? The investment industry has changed profoundly in recent years.
