Financing - Project Partnership

Although it started as an idea of partnership, apparently in the process of selecting a "partner" after received only one bid (the Chinese), JPEPBIH can count solely on credit financing of the project.

Will China offer be acceptable, decisions should be made soon, after a relatively negative internal reports (Techno-financial). The process of arranging the loan for project financing would require guarantees from the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is very hard to be coordinated and arranged within Bosnia and Herzegovina lawmakers (due to the permanent political turmoil), and requires many compromises.

Will BiH lawmakers and decision makers proceed with realization of the project of TPP Tuzla 7 or maybe TPP Banovici (where there is a the question of whether to even engage in the process and whether it is realistic given the property rights aspect, the concentration of GDP, consumption, greenfield investment, etc. in TPP Banovici) and to whether the state should guarantee for any of the two mega projects? Maybe investment in TPP Kakanj Unit 8 and mines, with binding projects that are of public interest come to the fore? Which project is supported by the current coalition government in BiH, and what is realistically feasible, both in technical and financial terms?
