CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

Risk management is a core activity by financial institutions. There are different types of finan­cial risks, e.g. market risk, credit risk, operational risk, modelling risk, liquidity risk, business risk, etc. Managing these risks to minimize potential losses is essential to ensure viability and good reputations for financial institutions. Therefore, it is necessary to have an accurate model and a proper measurement that describes the risks. Infrastructure project expenditures in the world economy have been growing substantially in the last two decades (Koven 2003, pp.1). Public owners of infrastructure projects, who have originally shouldered the burden of infrastructure finance through a variety of public-financing structures, must face the daunting challenge of balancing the huge spending demand with a constrained budget. Therefore, governments around the world are looking for economically efficient and creative alternative ways to deliver infrastructures.
