1 IBRD Concession Contracts and Regulation: Lessons from over 1000 Concessions in Latin America J. Luis Guasch World Bank and University of California, San Diego November 28, 2005 Palermo, Italy ANEA Seminar: La Regolazione del Servicio Idrico Integrato 1
2 OUTLINE MOTIVATION FOR INFRASTRUCTURE REFORM REFORM PROGRAM IN INFRASTRUCTURE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: CONTRACT VS OTHER OUTCOMES OF REFORM PROGRAM RETURNS TO INVESTORS (Sirtaine, Pinglo, Guasch and Foster 2005) PRODUCTIVITY, COVERAGE, QUALITY PRICES (Andres, Foster and Guasch 2004) RENEGOTIATION (Guasch 2004) 2
3 Motivation for Reform on Infrastructure Sectors Infrastructure matters: growth and poverty Deficient sector performance: Search for improvements in efficiency, technology and know-how Desired increases in coverage: poverty angle Need for investment: scarcity of state resources Redefining the role of the state Led to Private Sector Participation 3
4 Types of Private Participation in Infrastructure 4
5 Salient Choice: Concessions Concessions instrument mostly utilized for private participation in infrastructure services: ( 65% total, 98% transport, 90% water and santitation) Privatization mostly used in the Telecom, and in Electricity - Generation sectors 5
6 DIFFERENCES Rights/ Property Duration CONCESSION Transfer of right of exploitation and use of the company's physical assets Limited/ years PRIVATIZATION Transfer of property to the company Unlimited Obligations Clauses Responsibility More Extensive Provision for Termination/ Cancellation of the concession Government retains proprietory rights Less Extensive Generally non-existant Non-existant 6
7 CONCESSIONS VS PRIVATIZATIONS MAIN DIFFERENCE: Limited operation period vs unlimited operation period THE ONLY ASSET UNDER A CONCESSIONS IS THE (CANCELABLE) RIGHTS TO THE CASH FLOWS OF THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICE THE CONCESSIONAIRE DOES NOT OWN ANY PHYSICAL ASSET 7
8 Concession Versus Privatization Legal and/or constitutional impediments to privatization Public Services high visibility social & political impact belief that they should remain under state ownership and control: thus the preference of concessions over privatization Concerns about outcomes of privatizations 8
9 Key Determinants of Sector Performance (from theory and experience) i) The design of the concession, the clarity and transparency of the rules of the game, and ii) The regulatory framework, along with resolution of conflict mechanisms iii) Those two are the best predictors to reduce regulatory risk and improve sector performance. iv) Regulation by contract focus on concessions and contract design 9
10 Concession Design and Regulation are Intrinsically Linked An excellent concession design but poor regulatory oversight will lead to deficient sector performance. An excellent regulatory oversight but with poor concession design will lead to deficient sector performance. Regulation CANNOT solve the problem of a poor concession design. Key message: you need both for effective sector performance and to secure the gains from private sector participation. 10
11 Types of Regulatory Frameworks Law, Decree, Contract, and role of Regulatory Agency Where the rules, rights and obligations are stated Regulatory agency implements and interprets them: issue degree of detail and discretion Contract, Regulatory Agency: Key differences. Degree of discretion on regulatory issues and autonomy/independence Contract (issues: dealing with disputes and incomplete contracts) Ministry Ministry-Experts Panels: examples (first three in water) Bucharest concessions: for tariff adjustments Chile: for appeals from regulators s decisions Sofia concessions: dispute review board for all disputes London Underground PPP arbiter: deciding periodic reviews if parties cannot agree 11
12 The French Water Sector: Regulation without a Regulator The French water sector has operated for many years under regulatory contracts without a regulator. Under this system, implemented through hundreds of municipally granted concessions or leases, private companies provide about 80 percent of the water supply and about 45 percent of the sewage services. Model contracts Well-developed case law and legal doctrines A respected appellate tribunal Private operators are French companies Common educational backgrounds Cultural traditions 12
13 Alternative Regulatory Models France (Water Sector) Latin America Great Britain United States India Separate Regulator? No (Regulation by contract) Yes Yes (national) Yes (national and state) Yes (national and state) Specifity of Regulatory Contract Medium High (Bolivia, Chile, Peru) Low (Brazil, Colombia) High Low (general principles interpreted in case law) Low (general principles without case law) Regulatory Decisions Reviewed by Special Appellate Tribunal? Yes No except for Bolivia and Chile Yes (Competition Commission) No No, but proposed by government Ownership of Regulated Entities Private Mostly public (only Chile private) Mostly private Mostly private Mostly public Form of Private Sector Participation Concessions and leases Concessions Full privatization Full privatization Mostly Concessions 13
14 Limits of Regulation by Contract Different than commercial contract: gov role Incomplete contracts: how to respond to issues not in contract? Who bears the risk? Dealing with disputes Capture vs no discretion Regulatory credibility (large impact regulatory risk: 2-6 percentage points of cost of capital) Investor confidence In practice some convergence 14
15 But Recall that Regulation Means The main objectives of a regulatory framework are: to induce the regulated firm to operate at lowest (efficient) possible costs; to closely align prices (tariffs) with costs allowing the firm to earn only normal profits. Usually there are other subordinate objectives as well that complement the main ones such as to induce increase coverage and access, improve quality of service and to address issues of universal service obligations 15
16 CRITICAL FACTORS Determining future tariffs Cost of capital Valuation of assets Efficient benchmark criterias Triggers for adjustments Financial equilibrium Incomplete contracts Conflict resolution Regulation by contract in the strict sense, does not do well handling these factors 16
17 Regulatory agencies Yet regulatory agencies have had also problems: Limited autonomy/independence Limited capacity Limited experience Potential capture 17
18 Conflicts of interest: non- compatibles Government Maximize fiscal revenues Investors Labor force Users Maximize earnings Protect jobs Expand coverage for those with no service Seek lower tariffs
19 Data Set Based on the analysis of more than 1,300 concessions in the infrastructure sector awarded since the 1980s to date, in Latin America and Caribbean (Guasch 2004). The data set has seven blocks describing: (i) country characteristics; (ii) type of project or transaction; (iii) award and bidding details; (iv) regulatory framework; (v) concession details; (vi) renegotiation details; and (vii) risk bearing details Roads Telecoms Rail Ports Water & Sanitation Electricity Airports 19
20 Sample Characteristics Water and Sanitation Concessions about 300 Most of them were regulated by contract In addition many of electricity distribution concessions were also regulated by contract Most of transport concessions were regulated by contract OUTCOMES: On average regulation by contract did worse than when there was an autonomous regulatory agency 20
21 OUTCOMES Returns to Investors 21
22 Long-term Concession Returns by Sectors Project IRR vc WACC 25% 5% -15% -35% -55% Water Transport Telecom Energy IRR, no TV IRR, with FV IRR, with TV IRR with fees adj IRR with fees & Inv Mkup adj WACC Source: own calculations, based on concessions historical financial statements and the authors growth assumptions. 22
23 DID THE QUALITY OF REGULATION MATTER ON THE LEVEL OF RETURNS TO INVESTORS? Objective: To align cost of capital with rate of return 23

48 I. PROBIT ANALYSIS II. Award Criteria Selecting the highest transfer fee decreases the probability of renegotiation by 30-40% Selecting minimum tariff increases the probability of renegotiation by 30-40% II. Proper Regulatory Body in Place Having in place a proper regulatory body decreases the probability of renegotiation by 40-50%. If regulatory body is part of Ministry (thus not autonomous) increases the probability of renegotiation by 20-30% III. Proper Regulatory Type Framework Having a Price Cap Regime increases probability of renegotiation by 15-30% Having a Rate of Return Regime increases probability of renegotiation by 15-30% 48
49 Significant Variables and Largest Marginal Effects Award Criteria 25 to 40% Existence of Proper Regulatory Body 40 to 50% Type of Regulation (Price Caps vs. Rate of Return) 20 to 30% Regulating by Means (Investment) vs. Regulating by Objectives (Parameter) 15 to 30% Nationality of Operator 15 to 20% Autonomy of Regulator 10 to 35% Political Cycle 10 to 20% Macro Shocks 15 to 25% 49
50 Other significant variables Existence of investment obligation increases the probability of renegotiation The longer the duration of the concession the lower the probability of renegotiation The stronger the legal groundings (law, decree, contract) of regulatory framework the lower the probability of renegotiation Reputation effect As the country has renegotiations incidence the probability of renegotiation increases (there might be also a learning effect) Competition: number of bidders The greater the number of bidders the higher the probability of renegotiation 50

53 Common Questionable Actions That Need To Be Addressed Through Regulatory Accounting Management fees often equivalent to half of the firm net s profits Contracting subsidiaries or related companies to provide services or equipment at significantly higher prices than standard market prices Accuracy of reported investments Transfer of accumulated profits into the regulated capital base Transfer of capital in non-regulated areas of the firm into the regulated capital base of the firm Valuation of pre-privatized assets at replacement costs Using, when convenient, past performance as justification for demands for future higher tariffs Financial equilibrium, yes but based on best practices and the sanctity of the bid 53
54 Lessons: Efforts Should be Placed in Properly Addressing: I. Pre-Concession Issues II. Concession Design Issues III. Concession Award Issues IV. Regulatory Issues a) Institutional b) Economic/Technical c) Administrative Procedures 54
55 Instruments for Regulation Information!!! Cost Model Financial Model Regulation Accounting & Standards Benchmarking Efficiency Measures Tariff Structure 55
56 LESSONS AND DESIGN FOCUS: Key determinants of Sector Performance: o Design of Concession o Regulatory Framework: inducing firms to produce at efficient costs and aligning tariffs with costs 56
57 Key Lessons: Concession Design Assign Concession through Competitive Bidding High transparency of process Communications campaign if needed Performance Bond: should be binding: 2% of total value of contract or 20% of estimated annual revenue Award Criteria: transfer price (annual or lump sum) vs minimum tariff Respect for and enforcement of the sanctity of the bid at the time of the auction Dissuasion through financial incentives of opportunistic renegotiations and development of a credible commitment to the non-renegotiation of opportunistic petitions Costly unilateral changes of the agreed-upon contractual terms of the concession 57
58 Key Lessons: Regulatory Framework Regulatory credibility An incentive-based regulatory framework Price caps vs rate of return vs revenue caps Performance Indicators rather than investment commitments Appropriate regulatory and antitrust legislation Autonomous regulatory institutions, well-trained and wellcompensated professionals, and effective enforcement Issues with regulation by contract. Informational requirements to operators and regulatory accounting system should be stated in the contract An appropriate set of regulatory instruments should be used such as cost and financial models, and benchmarking referential data Valuation of Concession Assets Determining future tariffs Cost of Capital and how should it be determined Conflict resolution rules 58
