Pricing uncertainty

10.22  The appetite for project related bonds can move greatly over relatively short periods of time.

This makes pricing the margin on the bond difficult. The margin is not just, as on a bank deal, the appropriate credit margin for the underlying risks in the project, but also an element of market pricing and demand.
