MUMBAI (ICIS news)--Thai conglomerate Siam Cement Group (SCG) expects to secure financing for its joint-venture (JV) cracker and derivatives project in Vietnam within the year, a company source said on Wednesday.
Long Son Petrochemicals (LSP), a JV between SCG, Qatar Petroleum International, Petrovietnam and Vietnam National Chemical Corp, was negotiating with potential lenders, the source said. “Amid the current crisis and the nature of project finance, only a project with strong government support could get funding. LSP is working with relevant authorities for government supports to secure financing within 2010,” the source said. “The project aims to seek financing from export credit agencies, international banks and financial institutions,” the source added.
The companies expect to complete the project in 2014.
