1 Annual Report INSURING INVESTMENTS ENSURING OPPORTUNITIES 20 15
2 MIGA s MISSION To promote foreign direct investment into developing countries to support economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve people s lives. Annual Report 2015
3 WORLD BANK GROUP 2015 SUMMARY RESULTS Message from the President of the World Bank Group and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors This has been a pivotal year for global development. The international community s decisions in 2015 will have long-term impacts on the world s ability to reach our goal of ending extreme poverty by Today, nearly 1 billion people still live on less than $1.25 a day. This is a staggering number, but it is important to remember that over the past 25 years, the world has reduced the rate of extreme poverty by two-thirds. Over that time, many countries have succeeded in making the seemingly impossible possible. Ending extreme poverty by 2030 will be difficult but entirely possible. For decades, the World Bank Group s principal institutions the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) have distilled and analyzed our global experience in fighting poverty. We have learned from our experience what has worked for development and what has not in specific contexts, and some clear patterns have emerged. Evidence shows that great gains can be made through the strategy of grow, invest, and insure. We must promote strong, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth; we must invest in people especially in health and education; and we must build social safety nets and protections against natural disasters and pandemics to prevent people from plunging into extreme poverty. We also know that, as an institution, the World Bank Group needs to better meet the evolving needs of low- and middleincome countries. In a world where capital is more easily available, we must emphasize our greatest strengths the marriage of our vast knowledge with innovative financing to deliver programs that have the greatest impact on the poorest. Our aim is to help countries translate global experience into practical know-how to solve their most difficult problems. This year, the World Bank Group committed nearly $60 billion in loans, grants, equity investments, and guarantees to its members and private businesses. IBRD delivered record amounts of financing for any year except at the height of the global financial crisis, with commitments totaling $23.5 billion. And IDA, the World Bank s fund for the poorest, has just had the strongest first year of a replenishment cycle ever, committing $19 billion. Thanks to our determined and dedicated staff, we have been able to strengthen our performance and ensure that the development knowledge and expertise within our institution moves more easily around the globe. As the world seeks to go from billions to trillions of dollars in development finance with sources of financing from high-, middle-, and low-income countries the work of our entire World Bank Group will be critical to driving private sector investment to emerging markets and fragile countries. IFC and MIGA, two of our institutions focused on private sector development, are strengthening their efforts in this regard. This year, IFC provided about $17.7 billion in financing for private sector development, about $7.1 billion of which was mobilized from investment partners. MIGA issued $2.8 billion in political risk and credit enhancement guarantees underpinning various investments, including in much-needed infrastructure projects. Nearly 1 billion people living in extreme poverty want an equal opportunity for a better life. They are counting on policies and programs that give them a chance. Governments must seize this moment. Our private sector partners must explore new investments. The World Bank Group, our multilateral development bank partners, and our new partners on the horizon, must all work together to not let this opportunity slip away and collaborate with real conviction. Working together, we can promote inclusive and sustainable growth, as well as opportunity for the poor and the vulnerable. We can be the generation that ended extreme poverty. DR. JIM YONG KIM President of the World Bank Group and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors MIGA ANNUAL REPORT

6 THE INSTITUTIONS OF THE WORLD BANK GROUP The World Bank Group is one of the world s largest sources of funding and knowledge for developing countries, consisting of five institutions with a common commitment to reducing poverty, increasing shared prosperity, and promoting sustainable development.

7 MESSAGE FROM KEIKO HONDA MIGA EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT AND CEO 2015 marks a milestone as the international community defines its development agenda for the next generation. A key component is engaging the private sector to bring in new and innovative investment to help advance the World Bank Group s goals of ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. Here MIGA has a significant role to play: our political risk insurance and credit enhancement for private-sector projects helps catalyze investments into countries where they are needed most. We just completed another strong year issuing $2.8 billion of guarantees for 40 projects to support investors and help them mitigate risk. Almost half of these projects backed investments into countries considered the world s poorest and 15 percent supported projects in places affected by fragility and conflict. We consider both these areas our top priorities. MIGA continues to innovate and adapt its coverages to specific structures while rolling out new applications of its products customized to meet client needs. In fiscal year 2015 we facilitated private-sector loans to sub-sovereigns and state-owned enterprises in Turkey and Colombia. We introduced a new model for blended financing in Brazil that also showcased the benefits of enhanced World Bank Group collaboration. MIGA also provided its first guarantee in support of the pension funds sector, in El Salvador, and covered a trademark license agreement for a highly developmental project in Nicaragua. At the same time, MIGA sustained its traditional coverage in critical areas: we supported solar power generation in Honduras and Jordan to help mitigate the impact of climate change. Additionally, MIGA provided coverage to a large banking institution for its subsidiaries in a number of eastern European countries facing difficult conditions resulting from ongoing economic turbulence. This fiscal year MIGA welcomed Santiago Assalini, our new Director, Corporate Risk. And on July 1st, we welcomed our new Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Karin Finkelston. We look forward to working with our team as we continue on our mission to support economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve people s lives.

10 IMPACT MIGA HELPS ANGOLA TURN WAR SCRAP INTO STEEL REBAR In Angola, MIGA guarantees of $70 million are supporting the building and operation of a greenfield plant that will turn remnants of war and other scrap metal into steel rebar for the construction industry. The project represents one of the first large-scale industrial projects in Angola outside of the oil sector. There is an abundance of scrap metal throughout Angola, a legacy of the country s protracted civil war. Collection of this scrap will provide the plant with raw materials for their steel billets while generating both environmental benefits and significant new employment. MIGA AND WORLD BANK BRING SOLUTIONS TO BRIDGE INFRASTRUCTURE GAP IN BRAZIL In Brazil, MIGA guarantees of $360.8 million are supporting a milestone project that will help make the State of São Paulo s transport system more reliable, safe, and resilient to natural disasters. The São Paulo Sustainable Transport project combines the public and private financial instruments of the World Bank Group, working in close collaboration with the government, to provide a solution to Brazil s investment needs-while addressing countryspecific lending limits of both the World Bank and commercial lenders. MIGA HELPS TELECOMS IN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO In the Democratic Republic of Congo, MIGA guarantees of $30.2 million are supporting additional expansion of the mobile tower network. With the construction of additional towers, existing and potential mobile operators and internet service providers will be able to expand their geography and capacity. The project also supports the country s development goals that include building a modern national infrastructure and improving access to telecoms and new technologies. 8 MIGA ANNUAL REPORT 2015
11 MIGA SUPPORTS AFFORDABLE, CLEAN POWER IN INDONESIA In Indonesia, MIGA guarantees of $200 million are supporting the development and operation of a 47-megawatt run-of-the-river hydropower plant and the construction of a transmission line. The new facility will help reduce the country s reliance on expensive fuel oil by providing a more affordable and cleaner supply of power to Indonesia s state-owned electric utility company. MIGA s backing will also have a demonstration effect in attracting more private investment into the power sector. MIGA BACKS INVESTMENT IN EGYPT JOINS OTHER DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS In Egypt, MIGA guarantees of $23.4 are supporting an oil refinery project that will upgrade locally available refinery atmospheric residue into lighter products, such as diesel and jet fuel, for the domestic Egyptian market. The project will optimize domestic production of low-sulfur refined products to address consumer and industrial demand. MIGA s support contributes to greater investor confidence in the country. The project is also backed by a number of development finance institutions including the International Finance Corporation, the African Development Bank, and the European Investment Bank. MIGA FACILITATES EXPANSION OF PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES IN TURKEY In Turkey, MIGA guarantees totaling $209.2 million are supporting the development of an integrated health campus in Adana, southern Turkey and a new hospital in Yozgat, central Turkey. Both projects are part of a nationwide public-private partnership program implemented by the Turkish Ministry of Health to provide improved public healthcare services. The Adana campus also has IFC support. Both projects will fill a substantial healthcare need in their surrounding areas. Visit miga.org/fy15projects for more project information. MIGA ANNUAL REPORT

13 GOVERNANCE MIGA S BOARD MIGA s mission is to support economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve people s lives. In order to achieve this, the agency needs a clear understanding of the development outcomes of the projects it supports. MIGA s Development Effectiveness Indicator system (DEIS) collects a common set of indicators from clients to demonstrate results across all projects: volume of investment catalyzed, direct employment, taxes paid, and value of locally procured goods. It also measures sector-specific indicators. MIGA s $2.8 billion issuance in fiscal year 2015 is expected to catalyze an additional $9.8 billion in public and private co-investment. These are highlights of development results expected from projects supported by MIGA guarantees signed in fiscal year A Council of Governors and a Board of Directors, representing 181 member countries, guide the programs and activities of MIGA. Each country appoints one governor and one alternate. MIGA s corporate powers are vested in the Council of Governors, which delegates most of its powers to a Board of 25 Directors. The Directors meet regularly at the World Bank Group headquarters in Washington, DC, where they review and decide on investment projects and oversee general management policies. Visit the World Bank s Board of Governors page at worldbank. org/en/about/leadership/governors for more information. ACCOUNTABILITY INDEPENDENT EVALUATION GROUP The Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) assesses MIGA s strategies, policies, and projects to improve the Agency s development results. IEG is independent of MIGA management and reports its findings to MIGA s Board of Directors and the Committee on Development Effectiveness. IEG s reports and recommendations are publicly disclosed on its website at ieg.worldbankgroup.org. COMPLIANCE ADVISOR OMBUDSMAN The Office of the Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO) is the independent accountability mechanism for MIGA and IFC and reports directly to the President of the World Bank Group. The CAO responds to complaints from people affected by MIGA and IFC-supported business activities, with the goal of enhancing social and environmental outcomes on the ground and fostering greater public accountability of both agencies.
