Particularly for loans, in-depth review on a borrower’s credit performance and the sector context, as part of the due diligence assessment, is vital for recognizing potential financial risks. Analytical measurements on financing risks (e.g., adequacy of capital ratio, contingent liabilities), risk allocation options, and risk management monitoring, for example, are key factors that enhance credit appraisal and help develop a well-structured financing scheme and related covenants.

Exercising greater care in estimating traffic demand projections is of utmost importance. Overly optimistic forecasts of traffic volumes can stem from using outdated or arbitrary parameters and unrealistic assumptions. For instance, elasticity values of road transport demand may have changed over time. Also, the use of national GDP as a proxy for economic activities at the regional or local level could result in unrealistic traffic forecasts. Both of these could lead to an overly designed project.
