Such risks may be caused, for example, by a change in macroeconomic circumstances, a reduction in demand in the sector in which the equity financing project operates and dependencies in other sectors. In any case the investor should be aware that adverse economic conditions or cyclical changes may lead to a weakening of the Promoter’s ability to meet its financial commitments in connection with the loan.
Risk of default
The risk that the project promoter may be subject to bankruptcy proceedings and other events affecting the project or the project promoter that result in the loss of the investment for the investors.
