Qatar Petroleum, Director of Finance Abdulrahman al-Shaibi told MEED’s Middle East Project Finance 2012 conference that Qatar will continue to make use of the project finance market, that the possibility of floating project sukuk is being seriously considered, that a PPP law is being studied and that financing plans are being developed for the $8bn QP-Shell petrochemical plant approved in principle at the end of last year.
Al-Shaibi, who received the first MEED Leadership in International Project Finance Award, said that Qatar plans to capitalise on its experience in raising more than $70bn in project financing in the past 15 years to secure further credit from the market for new projects being implemented as part of its long-term economic development plan. They include the new petrochemical plant being developed in an memorandum of understanding signed by QP and Shell at the end of 2011. This will involve costs of about $8bn and project financing of up to 70 per cent of its capital requirements may be sought. Al-Shaibi said that the market might be approached for project financing in early 2013.
Al-Shaibi said innovative approaches to project financing being considered by Qatar include floating sukuk, a sharia-compliant form of negotiable instrument, and private-public partnerships (PPPs). He said that a PPP law was being developed that could be applied across the government sector.
