Synopsis | Speaker | Arrangements | Booking | Other Events "Mitigation of Investment Risk in the Oil Business in Africa"Colin Roberts 6th May 2004 A programme of student dinner attendance is sponsored by Cairn Energy PLC. SynopsisThe presentation highlights some of the factors that should be considered when investing in major infrastructure projects in the developing world. In particular, it highlights risks that should be expected when investing in resource (oil and mineral) projects in Africa. The purpose is to make the Investor aware of these risks and to enable the Investor to manage and mitigate them. This is achieved by highlighting the importance of good corporate and state governance and dispute resolution as mechanisms to encourage Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Africa so as to enable successful economic growth both to the host State and the Investor. [top] SpeakerColin has a background originally in mining engineering which extended later into petroleum engineering. He has worked extensively in Africa and is currently conducting research in the fields of Foreign Direct Investment and Dispute Resolution in the developing world. He is a member of the International Bar Association, Section on Energy and Natural Resources Law.
