Structured financing uses a special purpose entity (SPE) or special purpose vehicle (SPV) to strip off specific assets for future cash flows to obtain financing based on the SPE or SPV. This financing method can also be understood as the way of swapping specific assets with cash assets in the balance sheet (known as an‘assets swap’) to increase the amount of productive assets, mostly liquid assets at a fixed liability-asset ratio.

This financial product targets companies with a strong industry position, robust business performance, and a strong potential for sustainable growth and helps them to implement a mature corporate structure, standard management practices and investment plans for projects with an expected high return on investment (ROI). These companies can provide sufficient high-quality mortgages and pledges or beneficial interests without any legal issues.
