1 World Bank Guarantee Program for the Consultation of Modernizing the World Bank s Operational Policy on Guarantees January 2012

2 Why World Bank Guarantees? Guarantees are viewed as a key financial instrument to support the flow of private investments for development The leveraging power of the guarantee instrument is particularly relevant in attracting private capital where investors and lenders are seeking to mitigate risk Greater use of guarantees is called for, in particular, to support developing countries infrastructure investment plans help countries access to the markets during the ongoing financial crisis Guarantees could be useful in addressing local currency financing and in developing local currency markets 2

3 World Bank Guarantee Products and Requirements World Bank Guarantee Products: Partial Risk Guarantees (PRG) support private sector investment projects, including Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects, green-field and rehabilitation/expansion projects, concession and privatization transactions. PRG can be structured to protect lenders of limited-recourse project finance debt, or to protect the project company ( Letter of Credit or Deemed Loan PRGs) Partial Credit Guarantees (PCG) support commercial borrowing of either the government or non-government borrower (e.g. state-owned utilities, banks) chiefly in support of public investment projects Policy-Based Guarantees (PBG) is a version of a PCG in support of commercial borrowing of the government for budget financing and to support a reform program Country eligibility: PRGs are available to all IBRD and IDA countries, PCGs and PBGs only to IBRD-eligible countries. IBRD may provide PRGs for enclave projects in IDA-only countries Indemnity: All guarantees require a counter-guarantee from the member country Coverage: The World Bank provides guarantees only to the extent necessary to mobilize the private financing 3

4 World Bank Partial Risk Guarantees PRG covers lenders against the risk of Government nonperformance of its contractual obligations to a specific project, such as the risk of non-payment by Government/SOE, change in law/regulatory risk, expropriation risk, etc. Typical PRG Structure RRG reduces project risk for private financiers, and thus improve bankability of the project to enable/facilitate financing, reduce cost of capital and extend debt tenor to better meet project needs World Bank PRGs are often provided to Public-Private Partnership projects along with MIGA political risk insurance and IFC loan/equity investments

5 World Bank Partial Credit Guarantees & Policy-Based Guarantees PCG/PBG guarantees part of debt services to lenders or bond holders regardless the cause of default Typical PCG Structure Can be offered for Government (PCG/PBG); or SOE and other borrower, so long as there is a sovereign counter-guarantee (PCG) By covering part of debt services, PCG/PBG improves terms of commercial debt by extending maturity, lowering interest rate costs, increasing issue amount and/or enabling access to new markets (loans & bonds), making commercial debt more suitable for development support (e.g. infrastructure projects, budgetary financing) 5

6 World Bank Guarantee Operations to date (Cumulative results) 37 guarantee operations have been approved to date for cumulative amount of $4.5 billion in 30 countries across Regions $27 billion project financing has been helped mobilized by $3 billion financially closed guarantees Many of the guarantee operations are PRGs in support of private sector projects: 25 PRGs, 8 PCGs and 4 PBGs Given the full line up of guarantee products (i.e. PRG/PCG/PBG), IBRD has provided more guarantee support vs. IDA: 24 IBRD guarantees and 13 IDA guarantees Recent transactions include: Botswana PCG approved in FY10; Serbia PBG approved in FY11; Cameroon PRG and Macedonia PBG approved in FY12 so far; for a total of $860 million for FY

9 Benefits of World Bank Guarantees for client governments Leverage IBRD/IDA resources by mobilizing additional capital resources Improve commercial borrowing terms to meet the requirements of infrastructure and other development operations and Public and Private Partnership (PPP) projects Mobilize private investments/greater amount of capital, enabling governments to share risks of project development and financing with the private sector Bank guarantees can be structured flexibly to meet clients financing needs e.g. local currency guarantee Provide opportunity for the Bank to help government build capacity e.g. PPP project development and implementation Procurement flexibility ( economy and efficiency ) World Bank guarantees backed by its sector dialogue with and indemnity from governments anchor and facilitate the participation of IFC/MIGA; collaboration with IFC/MIGA leverage World Bank s limited resources 9
