This glossary from the EBRD is created to help overcome communication difficulties between Russian-speaking and international business communities. The two-volume Project Finance Glossary is primarily of use to banks, law firms, potential investors, entrepreneurs, translators and interpreters, and academics. The glossary does not claim to be comprehensive. It has a practical application and many of the terms it contains are in common use throughout the business and legal communities. It has been compiled in consultation with bankers and lawyers both within and outside the EBRD.
