Rebuilding Ukraine Agency

Found this historic press release while going through some old emails. This is why #OPIC or as it is better known now #DFC is able to do its great work these days in #Ukraine. Broad Street Capital Group is a founding member of the Rebuilding Ukraine Agency . (due to space limitations only a portion of the release is published) Broad Street Capital Group in Forefront of Bringing New OPIC-backed Financing to Ukraine WASHINGTON, D.C. (Jan. 19, 2010) –Tomorrow, Broad Street Capital Group will present the first “Fluent in OPIC” workshop to assist U.S. companies wishing to finance and insure investments in the Ukrainian economy. This workshop is possible due to Overseas Private Investment Corporation’s (OPIC) return to Ukraine after more than 10 years. OPIC, a U.S. government agency which provides foreign policy-based project financing and political risk insurance for infrastructure, energy, microfinance and developmental projects in more than 150 countries which involve U.S. investment, was closed in Ukraine for the past decade. Prior to suspending its activities in that market, OPIC provided more than $254 million in financing and insurance to 21 projects in Ukraine, in sectors ranging from manufacturing and construction to energy and financial services. Several weeks ago, after extensive work by a group of top government officials as well as participants from nonprofit and private sector organizations to reach a bilateral agreement, OPIC reopened its programs in that market. Broad Street Capital Group was a mandated party to the negotiations and represented the Ukrainian side. “OPIC is pleased to once again provide support for U.S. investment in Ukraine, a development which we anticipate will send a very positive signal to prospective investors in the country,” said Dr. Lawrence Spinelli, acting president of OPIC. Immediately upon OPIC’s reopening, Broad Street Capital received numerous projects and inquiries from both U.S. and Ukrainian companies on how to specifically use OPIC financing and insurance for projects in Ukraine. Based on the firm’s 15 years of experience financing projects in emerging markets and seven years of experience of working with OPIC, Broad Street Capital professionals created the “Fluent in OPIC™” workshop to address specific issues inherent in developing project finance and insurance structures in the market. Due to high demand, the Washington, D.C. session and the subsequent Embassy reception are sold out, two additional workshops, one in Kiev and one in New York, are scheduledl. The “Fluent in OPIC™” workshops are being presented, in association with the U.S. Ukraine Business Council and in cooperation with OPIC, U.S. Commercial Service in Kiev and the Embassy of Ukraine in Washington. Broad Street Capital’s "Fluent in OPIC™" workshop will present a comprehensive, practical, “beyond the website” look on how to effectively use OPIC to finance or insure business transactions in Ukraine. “

This photo popped up in my social feeds, as eight years ago today, The Minister of Energy of #Ukraine and Bank of America signed a historic mandate for our project team to provide #DFC (OPIC)-insured, $250 million financing for the Centralized Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Facility in #Chernobyl. #Holtec corporation provided the technology and unique components and the project team, led by OPIC and BofA, secured the breakthrough capital markets financing for a 20-year term where the credit rating of the Borrower increased from Ca2 to Aa2!!!

Second US-Ukraine Partnership Forum at the @U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The room is only three quarters full during the key note and about half as many attendees as last year. Not a good sign. This exactly when the US Business should be ramping up and getting ready to participate in the reconstruction of #Ukraine. Asian and European companies are mobilizing full force. #Ukraine #RebuildingUkraineAgency #RebuildingUkraine #USChamber #AMCHAM
