Presentation of pre-feasibility study findings (2.1) Presentation of results of pre-feasibility study (2.2) Primary characteristics for the scheme Objectives & eligibility criteria Coverage rate Service fees Credit Guarantee Scheme type (2.3) Bank selection methodology for the scheme Current banking system context for a CGS in Ukraine Introduction of bank partner screening methodology 3. Introduction of next phase: feasibility study & secondary characteristics 4. Next steps and timeline 7
8 Based on the findings of the pre-feasibility study, several key recommendations have been made on the CGS s primary characteristics & the selection of partner banks (2.1) Pre-feasibility study findings: results P R I M A R Y C H A R A C T E R I S T I C S Objectives & eligibility criteria Coverage rate Service fees Type of CGS Recommendation Scheme should achieve the objectives of financial & economic additionality & sustainability whilst targeting agri-smes with ha of land in Cherkassy, Poltava, Vinnytsia & Kharkiv. Scheme should provide 50-60% coverage rate on average Scheme should charge service fees of around 2%, potentially upfront & annual Scheme should be an internationally-funded public/private model Suggested further analysis More detailed eligibility criteria required Are there specific financing needs by segment, which can be targeted whilst ensuring sustainability? Should coverage rate be variable? Is 50-60% acceptable to all banks which are active in agribusiness SME lending? Are both upfront & annual fees required? How would such a scheme be registered under Ukrainian legislation? Funds located in or outside Ukraine? Is the legal & regulatory framework compatible with features of the scheme? B A N K S E L E C T I O N M E T H O D O L O G Y Pre-screening Limited tender Banks screened based on eligibility, relevance & quality 2-3 banks out of 3-5 to initially participate in the scheme Tendering process best practices Criteria for due diligence process 8
9 The methodology for developing these recommendations is based on countryspecific conditions in Ukraine as well as OECD best practice (2.1) Pre-feasibility study findings: results P R I M A R Y OBJECTIVES & ELIGIBILITY COVERAGE RATE TYPES OF FEES TYPE OF CGS Define aims & target group Define % of risk shared with lender Define % of loan amount charged as service fee Define broad organisational structure for guarantee issue Pre-feasibility study Pre-feasibility study Pre-feasibility study Pre-feasibility study Questionnaire Questionnaire Questionnaire B A N K S E L E C T I O N M E T H O D O L O G Y ELIGIBILITY RELEVANCE QUALITY Define which banks have sufficient capacity, interest & experience to participate Pre-feasibility study Questionnaire Define which banks can currently commit to active participation Pre-feasibility study Questionnaire Encourage self-selection & ensure that partner banks can meet the defined objectives of the CGS Feasibility study Due diligence process 9
10 These recommendations have been developed alongside an analysis of inherent & external project risks, in order to mitigate against them (2.1) Pre-feasibility study findings: results Risks Mitigation Measures Inherent 1. Technical complexity of CGS 2. Level of funding 3. Scheme buy-in from banks 4. Moral hazard 5. Lending technical capacity 1. CGS oversight working group; high-level political representative (high-level champion) 2. Donor mobilisation strategy 3. Attractiveness of risk-sharing; dialogue with banks 4. Careful scheme design; in-built evaluation mechanisms; oversight; capacity building 5. Bank screening; technical assistance (if funds) External 1. Limited banking sector liquidity 2. Hryvnya depreciation 3. Legal & regulatory environment 1. Limited tendering process 2. Analysis to determine localisation & specificity of funds 3. In-depth legal assessment 10
11 Agenda 1. Brief overview of the Project 2. Presentation of pre-feasibility study findings (2.1) Presentation of results of pre-feasibility study (2.2) Primary characteristics for the scheme Objectives & eligibility criteria Coverage rate Service fees Credit Guarantee Scheme type (2.3) Bank selection methodology for the scheme Current banking system context for a CGS in Ukraine Introduction of bank partner screening methodology 3. Introduction of next phase: feasibility study & secondary characteristics 4. Next steps and timeline 11
12 In-line with OECD best practice, initial primary characteristics of the scheme have been defined to achieve the core objectives of a CGS additionality & sustainability (2.2) Pre-feasibility study findings: primary characteristics Objectives of a CGS Description Method Financial additionality Economic additionality Sustainability Increased access to finance for agri- SMEs (outreach & loan volume) Improved production techniques and higher farm productivity The scheme covers its own costs (operating & otherwise), as it pursues the objectives of its mission More appropriate risk assessment and client outreach is conducted by banks The targeted group accesses more appropriate/cheaper financing for working capital & investment The CGS operates in-line with prudent risk management & best practice ELIGIBILITY COVERAGE RATE TYPES OF FEES TYPE OF CGS Credit Guarantee Schemes are usually targeted at SMEs (export-oriented, high-growth or rural). Best practice targets a segment of borrowers to ensure additionality, but is not overly-restrictive Coverage rates should reflect the tradeoff between attractiveness & moral hazard, i.e. sufficiently share credit risk whilst ensuring that banks still undertake adequate screening & monitoring processes. Several best-practice schemes link coverage rates to risk exposure, e.g. Chile provides 80% coverage for small borrowers & 50% coverage for medium borrowers Fees should be high enough to cover administrative costs, whilst being low enough to ensure that the scheme is used. Best practice usually links fees to risk exposure Most Credit Guarantee Schemes in OECD countries are public models. However since public schemes usually require annual budgetary appropriations, donor-funded models are often adopted in developing & emerging economies to secure funding 12
13 The Ukrainian CGS will be targeted at a segment of agribusiness SMEs that are perceived to have high potential & sustainable financing costs Objectives & eligibility (2.2) Pre-feasibility study findings: primary characteristics Mission statement: The Ukrainian Agribusiness Guarantee Scheme is an independent credit guarantee instrument that aims to support agricultural SMEs in rural areas and is working under the regulation of the National Bank of Ukraine. Its long term aim is to create a liquid credit market for bankable agribusiness SME projects that promote productivity growth in the sector. - approved at CGS Task Force meeting 1, June 2014 FOR DISCUSSION Objectives & eligibility Description The aim is generally to increase loan access by lowering collateral requirements &/or interest rates for underfinanced firms Policy advice OECD: targeted at export-oriented, high-growth or rural SMEs. UKR: agribusiness SMEs with ha of land, located in Cherkassy, Poltava, Kharkiv & Vinnytsia Eligibility criteria will further be defined with the results of the questionnaire, in-line with the 3 CGS objectives: financial additionality; economic additionality; & sustainability 13
14 A coverage rate of 50-60% is initially suggested for the CGS, due to national & sectoral market conditions Coverage rate (2.2) Pre-feasibility study findings: primary characteristics Description Policy advice FOR DISCUSSION Coverage The rate should be high enough to encourage lender participation yet low enough to limit moral hazard OECD max. risk share of 80%, usually 50-60% for agriculture UKR: 50% risk coverage, if acceptable to banks Coverage rates for agricultural CGS in the OECD HUN EST MEX (FEGA) MEX (FIRA) NLD Max Min HUN = AVHGA; EST = Rural Development Foundation; NLD = Rabobank Sustainable Development Fund 14
15 Risk-adjusted upfront & annual fees of around 2% are initially recommended for the CGS; to be further defined in the feasibility study Service fees (2.2) Pre-feasibility study findings: primary characteristics Description Policy advice FOR DISCUSSION Fees Fees should be high enough to cover administrative costs yet low enough to ensure adequate lender & borrower participation OECD: fees are generally around 1-2% of the loan value, & are risk-adjusted UKR: guarantee fee of around 2%, paid by the bank Guarantee fees for agricultural CGS in the OECD HUN EST MEX (FEGA) NLD Max Av Min Risk-adjusted fees usually based on: Coverage ratio Borrower risk Loan amount Composition of fund portfolio To be further investigated in feasibility study HUN = AVHGA; EST = Rural Development Foundation; NLD = Rabobank Sustainable Development Fund 15
16 An internationally-funded & publically/privately-governed scheme is recommended as the most appropriate model type for Ukraine, based on the following assessment CGS type (2.2) Pre-feasibility study findings: primary characteristics PROS CONS FOR APPROVAL PUBLIC PRIVATE 1. Ongoing Ukrainian government support after establishment 2. Regulation exists for organisational form 3. Full accountability with NBU 1. Strong demonstration effect, if successful 2. Possible under existing regulatory environment 3. Highest level of operational efficiency 4. Can be easily sold/expanded, if viable 1. No exit strategy possible funds managed by Ukrainian government institution(s) 2. Annual budgetary commitment required for continuation 3. Limited replicability 1. High price of capital, if investment is even possible 2. Commercial pressure (re ROI, etc.) will quickly shift CGS focus away from development goals 3. Requires sufficient capital & credibility PUBLIC/PRIVATE 1. Positive aspects from both public & private models, if sufficient support from both sides 2. Highest likelihood of long-term sustainability 1. Risk of failure due to limited PPP experience & low experience with CGS 2. Private operator needs to be selected. Needs to develop a strong selection methodology INTERNATIONAL DONOR 1. Allows for combination of mixed CGS funding (grant & commercial) with much-needed technical assistance & international know-how 2. Offers broad range of opportunities for future development (depending of IFIs & donors) 1. Chance of reduced ownership, if no private partner 2. Largely driven by policy goals, which may reduce commercial viability 16

19 Agenda 1. Brief overview of the Project 2. Presentation of pre-feasibility study findings (2.1) Presentation of results of pre-feasibility study (2.2) Primary characteristics for the scheme Objectives & eligibility criteria Coverage rate Service fees Credit Guarantee Scheme type (2.3) Bank selection methodology for the scheme Current banking system context for a CGS in Ukraine Introduction of bank partner screening methodology 3. Introduction of next phase: feasibility study & secondary characteristics 4. Next steps and timeline 19
20 A methodology for selecting partner banks has been developed, in order to limit the scheme s risk exposure (2.3) Pre-feasibility study findings: bank selection methodology Eligibility check Initial screening 17/43 Check based on positive (e.g. history of sustainable agricultural lending, presence in pilot regions) and negative criteria (e.g. transparency & stability) Relevance check Pre-selection 7-10 Based on quantitative questionnaires and qualitative interviews Quality check Limited tender 3-5 Initial group of CGS partner banks 20
21 CGS lowers risk Agribusiness SMEs are facing important constraints in accessing credit due to the high conservatism of Ukrainian banks (2.3) Pre-feasibility study findings: bank selection methodology CGS can increase credit to agribusiness SMEs by incentivising banks to increase lending Agricultural SMEs are perceived as risky High collateral requirements High interest rates Lower collateral requirements Lower interest rates Banks are conservative Cap on interest rate: no loan offer, even at a high interest rate Loans provided to creditworthy SMEs In Dec 14-Jan 15 the NBU & the OECD distributed a questionnaire to 17 banks in Ukraine This questionnaire will allow us to fine-tune various elements of the scheme Eligibility criteria Lending volume to agricultural SMEs Purpose of loans provided to agricultural SMEs Service fees / coverage rate Interest rates charged on loans to agricultural SMEs NPL rates of loans to agricultural SMEs Risk assessment processes Denominations of loans offered to agricultural SMEs Duration of loans to agricultural SMEs 21
22 The Ukrainian banking system is currently facing highly challenging conditions (2.3) Pre-feasibility study findings: bank selection methodology Deposit outflows were extremely high in 2014 And loan quality deteriorated Banks in Ukraine are strongly negatively affected by recent developments, such as: the strong depreciation of the hryvnya in combination with an emerging black market for foreign currency, the significant outflow of deposits from the banking system Deposit outflow from banks in Ukraine in 2014 Funds of individuals in UAH in USD in EUR in UAH in USD in EUR -21,4% -38,4% -36,1% -2,4% -26,4% -13,8% Source: Forbes.ua Source: Forbes ua Funds of legal entities % Q1 '13 Q2 '13 Q3 '13 Q4 '13 Q1 '14 Q2 '14 Q3 '14 NPLs to total gross loans Source: NBU ROE Furthermore, massive restructurings are currently taking place, which are expected to result later in 2015 in very high NPL levels for the banking sector 22
23 These conditions, combined with the structural nature of the banking system, have created high credit risk & liquidity constraints across the banking sector as a whole (2.3) Pre-feasibility study findings: bank selection methodology To be successful in the current context, the CGS needs to carefully select partners banks Massive deposit outflows trigger higher competition among banks which are offering high deposit rates Banks tend to be conservative Few banks active on lending market Currency depreciation Current context Outcome High costs of capital Banks mainly finance existing customers Increased administrative pressure on banks from NBU Implications for CGS Difficulty to find investors Risk exposure must be under control Sound bank selection process required High rate of NPLs in banking sector Potentially high recapitalisation needs 1 Prospects for investors remain uncertain Further consolidation likely 1 Confirmed by NBU stress test of largest 40 banks 23
24 In order to counter these risks, the CGS must control its risk exposure by screening & limiting the number of partner banks (2.3) Pre-feasibility study findings: bank selection methodology Multi-stage selection process to identify solid partners for a CGS 1. Country conditions Capacity, interest & experience to engage in agricultural SME lending is limited Response in methodology Bank selection process starts with initial screening of around 40 banks that are known for interest in SME &/or agricultural finance Conducted jointly with NBU 2. Due to uncertainty over the country s economic prospects, a limited no. of eligible banks may be able / willing to mobilise funding A relevance check will assess current capacities & short-term strategy of pre-selected banks, as well as interest in using a CGS 3. Country risks in Ukraine are high. Guarantee risk exposure must be low Final quality checks will allow for the final selection of the most suitable partner banks & also serve as basis for the application of a risk-based pricing model 24
25 A bank selection methodology has been developed & applied to commercial banks in Ukraine, in collaboration with the NBU, in order to identify eligible partner banks (2.3) Pre-feasibility study findings: bank selection methodology FOR APPROVAL 1 Eligibility check 43/ Positive criteria Strategy Includes a focus on SME finance Activities Already engages in agricultural finance Products Already has specific products for agricultural SMEs Presence Has a presence in the selected pilot regions Relevance Relevant agricultural portfolio size Quality Has developed quality indicators for agricultural lending Standing with NBU Has good standing with NBU & good market reputation Recent portfolio developments Promising trends in terms of growth, etc. Negative criteria Negative criteria Concerns regarding integrity, transparency & stability Foreign state-ownership 25
26 The second stage of the process will be to ensure that eligible banks are relevant for the scheme, given the current financial environment in Ukraine (2.3) Pre-feasibility study findings: bank selection methodology FOR APPROVAL 2 Relevance check 17/10 Assessment of interest in agricultural SME lending and participation in CGS, via: 1. Qualitative interviews with bank management 2. Quantitative data gathering (through OECD/NBU questionnaire) Progress 1. Interviews were conducted with 10 pre-selected banks in Nov 14, to get an overview of key issues & potential banking partners 2. Questionnaire distributed to around 17 banks in December It requests key indicators over time (e.g. loan volumes) Next steps 1. Upon approval of bank selection methodology, remaining interviews will be undertaken to discuss medium-term strategic plans & attitudes towards a CGS 2. Questionnaire results will be analysed in February 2015, in order to determine lending market characteristics for agri- SMEs by pre-screened banks 26
27 Once eligible partners have been chosen, the scheme will be opened to 3-5 partner banks via a limited tendering process. Following this, final membership may be initially limited to 2-3 banks, given the current financial situation in Ukraine (2.3) Pre-feasibility study findings: bank selection methodology 3 Quality check 3-5 FOR APPROVAL Tendering process 1. Limited tender only open to eligible & relevant banks 2. Transparent 3. Demanding Technical support to be provided by NBU or international experts Annual review and tender renewal 1. Selection of add. partner banks 2. Monitoring / quality checks 3. Knowledge sharing 4. Review of pricing Due diligence process Assessment of bank: 1. Policies 2. Procedures 3. Processes 4. Concrete lending results 5. Future targets The quality assessment will also provide information for the application of a riskbased pricing model. 27
28 In conclusion, the OECD suggests approval of the following primary characteristics for a Credit Guarantee Scheme in Ukraine (2.1) Pre-feasibility study findings: results Objectives & eligibility criteria Coverage rate Service fees Type of CGS P R I M A R Y C H A R A C T E R I S T I C S Recommendation Scheme should achieve the objectives of financial & economic additionality & sustainability whilst targeting agri-smes with ha of land in Cherkassy, Poltava, Vinnytsia & Kharkiv. Scheme should provide 50-60% coverage rate on average Scheme should charge service fees of around 2%, potentially upfront & annual Scheme should be an internationally-funded public/private model B A N K S E L E C T I O N M E T H O D O L O G Y REMINDER Suggested further analysis FOR APPROVAL More detailed eligibility criteria required Are there specific financing needs by segment, which can be targeted whilst ensuring sustainability?
