14 Governmental policies supporting the development of mining, energy infrastructure and steel in African countries Even though mining activities are moving gradually from developed economies to emerging economies, smelter and refinery production remains located mainly in developed countries. Africa and the Arctic regions are the two less explored regions in the world, thus presenting ample growth opportunities for mine and infrastructure investments in Africa. Africa currently accounts for about 15% of total global mine investments. 14

21 Would industrial policies support loss making steel mills while they get off the ground? African countries are Increasingly aware of the direct link between iron and steel industry and economic development. Some of the mechanisms adopted : Tariff adjustments Tax holidays Energy subsidization, and access to cheaper energy supply (Energy cost represents 40% of total cost of a steel mill) Beneficiation policies Skill development and funding support Fostering inter regional partnerships and trade agreements. Tax incentives to promote local R&D. 21

22 What are the political and economic issues that lenders should be aware of? Conclusion Political issues Economic issues Africa wide mining and tax reforms Some of the fastest growing economies in the world are in SSA Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Rwanda, DRC, Ethiopia, Angola, Ghana, Mozambique and Kenya. According to the World Bank, Sub Saharan economy is set to expand by about 5% in 2015, and 5.1% by Corruption prevention Burgeoning middle class over 122.7million people spend between USD 4 and USD 20 per day. A 30% growth from year 2000 (AFDB 2014) Competing demand for land use, increasing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and growing environmental concerns. Increasing state participation and growing tax burdens Mining remains the backbone of many African countries. Labor issues continue to be dominant. Macroeconomic issues - Insufficient local capital; Inflationary and currency conversion risks. 22

23 Infrastructural gap in Africa, and funds available to bridge this gap According to IMF estimates (2014) : Total yearly Africa Infrastructure need is valued at USD 93billion (15% of total Africa GDP) Actual yearly investment spend on infrastructure in Africa is USD 45billion (50% funded by the public sector) Yearly funding gap is estimated to be around USD50billion. Extractive industries account for 26% of all cross border greenfield projects in Africa ( UNCTAD 2014). 23

33 PwC and EulerHermes the German mandate holders The German Export Credit & Investment Guarantee program: Investment Guarantees Lead Partner: Untied Loan Guarantees / UFK Lead Partner: Export Credit Guarantees Lead Partner: Guarantee programmes of several Federal States Lead Partner: UFK Key Points: To secure the supply of raw materials the German government provides guarantees for loans under the Untied Loan Guarantees program ( UFK ), which are: not tied to German exports, of special interest to the Federal Republic of Germany. UFKs are primarily granted for the purpose of securing the supply of critical raw materials and energy to the German industry on the basis of long term offtake agreements 33

34 Untied Loan Guarantees / Ungebundene Finanzkredite (UFK) Typical structure of an Untied Loan Guarantee Project German Federal Government represented by PwC Foreign Government Untied Loan Guarantee The maximum covered amount is based upon the value of the raw material shipments Approvals Concessions Permits. Lender Project Finance / Loan Foreign Project Company German Importer / Offtaker Offtake Agreement 34

35 Untied Loan Guarantees / Ungebundene Finanzkredite (UFK) Untied Loan Guarantees cover political and commercial risks Political Risks: Expropriation, nationalisation or other acts by a higher authority which in their effects are equivalent to an expropriation War or other armed conflicts, revolution or insurrection Impossibility of converting or transferring funds to Germany Payment embargos or moratorium Commercial Risks: Insolvency, unsuccessful execution and suspension of payment Protracted default UFK is available as comprehensive cover or politicial risk cover only 35

36 Untied Loan Guarantees / Ungebundene Finanzkredite (UFK) Maximum covered loan amount Rule of thumb for maximum covered loan amount: 20-25% of total value of raw materials delivered to Germany over the lifetime of the offtake agreement Example calculations: UFK Cover 10y offtake contract of t/a Total Offtake Volume =10,000,000 t Raw material price 100 USD/t Total Contract Value =USD 1 bn Covered loan amount up to =USD mn UFK premium calculation: E.g. Project Category 2, Country Category 2, Horizon of Risk of 5y =1,9965% of the 0,3454*5+0,2695 loan amount Cost of UFK cover USD 4-5 mn Premium can be included into the loan amount and thus financed Possibility of full drawdown of the whole loan amount at project construction start Cover scheme not governed by OECD consensus rules More flexibility with respect to repayment schemes 36

37 Untied Loan Guarantees (UFK) Untied Loan Guarantees are approved on a case by case basis General Requirements: Eligibility for cover Long-term offtake contract Contribution to local economic development Financing must be assured Environmental & social compatibility, Raw materials must be eligible (e.g. Cu, Fe, Mo) Risk has to remain justifiable A long term offtake contract with a German importer must be in place The project has to contribute to the economic development of the project s host country Before UFKs are granted the financing structure of the project has to be in place Particular importance is attached to the possible negative impacts on environment and local society Qualified for Approval 37
