The main purpose of the study is the development of project financing as an effective form of lending for investment projects, consideration of methods for assessing the probability of default of investment projects. Systematization of literature sources and approaches to solving the problem of risk management in project financing, the use of project financing as a tool for lending to investment projects shows that project financing agreements are longer and designed for riskier borrowers than conventional agreements. The urgency of solving this scientific problem is that there is a high need for project funding for the development of economic processes in Ukraine in general and in the implementation of national projects, in particular, and insufficient development of methodological issues in its use.

The following methodological tools are used in the work: dialectical method of cognition, as well as evolutionary-system approach to the analysis of economic situations and phenomena using the principle of unity of historical and logical, methods of comparative economic analysis. The object of research is investment projects with available information. The study empirically confirms and theoretically proves that the main advantages of project financing as a tool for lending and servicing investment projects are: for project initiators - to attract a wide range of creditors and increase project opportunities, despite limited own funds; for creditors - in ensuring the reliability and return on investment by studying the detailed information provided on the project.
