1. INTRODUCTION The Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA) was established pursuant to the decisions of 6th Arab Summit in Algeria on 28th November 1973. The Bank began operation in March 1975 with its Headquarters in Khartoum, capital of the Republic of Sudan. The subscribed and paid up capital of BADEA as of 31 December 2001 was US$ 1.5 billion contributed by 18 countries. BADEA aims at consolidating economic, financial and technical cooperation between African countries and the Arab world. In order to achieve its aim, BADEA was given a mandate to: - Assist in financing Economic Development in non- Arab African countries. - Stimulate the contribution of Arab capital to African development. - Help provide the technical assistance required for the development of Africa. II. THE BEFS In recognition of the importance of trade in promoting Afro-Arab cooperation and in response to the resolutions of the League of Arab States and the Organization of African Unity calling for the promotion of African- Arab trade, and in line with the directives of the Board of Governors of BADEA issued in its twentieth session (Muscat, April 12 1995), the management of BADEA presented to its Board of Governors, in March 1997, a proposal for the establishment of BADEA Export Financing Scheme (BEFS) which was approved vide BADEA s Board of Governors Resolution No. -3, 1997. III. OBJECTIVES AND RESOURCES OF BEFS The objective of BEFS is to promote exports from Arab Countries to African Countries eligible for BADEA s assistance i.e. African countries which are non-members of the Arab League. 6

To accomplish this objectives, initially an amount of US$ 50 million has been allocated for the scheme s operational financing. However, the Board of Directors of BADEA has been delegated the authority to increase this allocation, depending on the implementation record, up to twice the initial amount i.e. US$ 100 million. IV. MANAGEMENT OF BEFS Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between Islamic Development Bank (IDB) and BADEA on the 23rd of February 1998, the IDB manages the scheme as a Mudarib and an agent of the BADEA. V. ELIGIBILITY OF FINANCING All goods are eligible under this scheme with the exception of those in contravention with Shariah precepts. Financing is available only for export of eligible goods originating from one of the Arab countries. In addition the goods to be exported should have minimum of 30% inputs originating from Arab countries. VI. REPAYMENT Financing period under the scheme varies with the nature of commodity with a maximum tenor of 36 months. Repayment by the importer under the scheme may be made in one balloon payment at the end of the financing period according to the terms and conditions of the financing agreement. VII. MARGIN OF FINANCING Financing under the scheme covers 100% of the total value of the transaction. VIII. MODE OF FINANCING Post shipment export financing is provided on the basis of Murabaha. Under this mode of financing, the bank undertakes to purchase the goods directly from the exporter and then sells the same to the importer at cost plus profit margin (mark-up). 7

IX. MARK-UP Mark up i.e. profit margin under each operation is determined based on the prevailing market rate while taking into consideration applicable policy guidelines. The mark up is composed of 3, 6, or 12 months US$ LIBOR (LIBOR quoted on page 01 of Reuters Screen) plus a spread which will depend upon the credit standing of the importer, the tenor, and nature of guarantee, etc. The mark up will be determined based on the rate prevailing at the value date of each disbursement. X. DENOMINATION OF THE TRANSACTION The United States Dollar is currency of payment and settlement for financing under the scheme. XI. SECURITY FOR REPAYMENT The borrower/importer is required to provide an irrevocable bank guarantee for full and final repayment of the amount of financing including mark-up. The guarantee should be from a bank acceptable to IDB. Bank guarantees are the normal mode of acceptable guarantee. Alternatively sovereign guarantee, a guarantee from the Islamic Corporation for the Insurance of Investment and Export Credit (ICIEC), corporate guarantees and assignment of trade receivable may be considered subject to a case by case assessment. XII. PROCEDURES FOR APPLICATION Request for financing under BEFS should be submitted to Islamic Development Bank (IDB) directly by the beneficiary (importer). Basic information and the supporting documents required with the financing request are enumerated in Appendix 4. XIII. CONCLUSION All institutions from eligible importing countries having significant amount of import trade from eligible exporting Arab countries are encouraged to explore the possibility of financing their import, under this scheme. 8
