9 WHY INFRASTRUCTURE? 9

10 Why Infrastructure? (i) Good infrastructure creates an enabling environment for economic activity: Lowers costs of doing business Improves global competitiveness of local production Promotes FDI and partnerships Promotes cross border investments and trade Hence promotes productivity and growth: ü African firms could achieve productivity gains of up to 40 percent with adequate infrastructure ü GDP growth could be enhanced by as much as 2% per year 10

11 Why Infrastructure? (ii) Added pressure from consistent growth of African economies, which has led to: Larger cities and increased urbanization Growing consumer markets Broader ties to the global economy - Infrastructure stock must increase to support this growth - US$40 billion in lost annual growth every year due to huge infrastructure deficit 11

12 Why Infrastructure? (iii) Linkages to local industry Manufacturing Construction Financial markets Labor Hence growth in infrastructure development activities has direct GDP growth implications Infrastructure expected to become the 4 th largest contributor to revenues in Africa by

13 Infrastructure Financing Needs " Africa lags behind other low-income countries on all dimensions of infrastructure coverage. " US$ 93 billion required annually to finance infrastructure in Sub-Saharan Africa. " Current expenditure = US$ 45 billion " Potential efficiency savings = US$17 billion " Financing gap = US$ 31 billion Recent estimates situate infrastructure financing requirements for Africa at US$ 360 billion annually until 2040 Financing for just the 51 Program for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA) Priority Projects by 2020: Energy (US$40.3 billion); Transport (US$25.4 billion); Water (US$1.7 billion) & ICT (US$0.5 billion) totaling US$68 billion, requiring about US$7.5 billion annually. 13

20 AfDB s ROLE IN FINANCING INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA 20

21 AfDB s Ten-Year Strategy with Emphasis on Infrastructure Development AfDB s Strategy Core Operational Priorities 21

22 AfDB s Support to Infrastructure Lending Ø Sovereign including regional operations pool Ø Non-sovereign (loans and equity) ü AfDB is the largest external financier for infrastructure in Africa Grants for technical assistance Ø FAPA (US$ 16 million per year towards private operations) Ø IPPF (US$ 15 million per year towards regional infrastructure operations) Ø MIC (US$ 16 million for operations in middle income countries) Risk Instruments Ø Guarantees such as the Credit Enhancement Private Sector Facility Ø Hedging products Coordination Ø Hosts the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa (ICA) Ø Executing agency of the Program for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA) 22

23 AfDB s Support to Infrastructure AfDB s New and Creative Ways of Mobilizing Additional Resources and Leveraging its own Resources: Ø Attraction of additional investments from emerging economies and from new funders and donors, including sovereign wealth and pension funds. Ø Using its existing instruments better by ensuring that a dollar invested by the Bank unlocks significantly more from other investors including through wider use of PPPs, co-financing arrangements and risk-mitigation instruments. Ø Use of quasi-equity instruments, such as subordinated loans and innovative Currency Exchange Fund. Ø Issuing bonds in local currencies, providing guarantees, and participating in currency swaps markets. Ø Promoting capacity building in RMCs to build efficient and sustainable institutions and regulatory frameworks that are robust enough to develop even the most complex projects. Ø Africa50 Fund A new infrastructure financing vehicle that is independent, profitdriven, commercially-managed and targeting investors such as African governments, African institutional and private investors, and non-african investors - delivering infrastructure through a new global partnership platform.
