TA measures) Ø Identify the DFI that fits best to you! DFIs provide more than only funding find out about their special programs! 10

Agenda DFI s mandate View on Africa Risk Capital Approach
Outlook for Africa I Political stability and governance in Africa have improved: Meanwhile we ve seen more than 30 times peaceful transitions of that governments or presidents this trend is expected to continue. In recent year a number of African countries have introduced liberal policies (eg. liberalization of telecoms sector) and privatized large state-owned companies Africa is the fastest growing region the world after Asia. 7 out of the 10 fastest growing economies in the world until 2015 will be from Sub Saharan Africa. Africa s economy is expected to grow 7% p.a. over the next 20 years. By the year 2050 the population in Africa will double from todays 1 billion to 2 billion and the population is young (median of 18 years) leading to a demographic dividend. This will lift long term growth by creating new labor force, urbanization and the related rise of new middle class. By 2020 more than half of African households will have an income exceeding 5,000 USD/Year. In 2010 total foreign direct investment was more than $55 billion five times what it was a decade earlier, and much more than Africa receives in aid. Especially in connection with mining and exploration of natural resources an increase of FDI in medium term can be expected. 15
Outlook for Africa Debt levels of African countries are on average much lower than for OECD countries (eg. Kenya 50%; Nigeria 20% Debt/GDP); countries can further leverage the economies and can sustain higher nominal debt levels due to high economic growth Prices of natural resources likely to remain high. The USA intends to import from Africa as much oil as from Saudi Arabia by the year 2015. More than 60% of the worlds reserves of for example Coltan, Chrome or Cobalt lie under African soil. Substantial new discoveries of oil and gas in East Africa and Mozambique. Africa holds 60% of the world s uncultivated arable land, which will play a key role to ensure global food security. ð African is becoming one of the most attractive places to invest in the world! 16
Lessons Learnt in Africa Building (or expanding) a company in Africa tends to require more time and resources compared to other emerging markets. Infrastructure bottlenecks often have an impact on inputs (energy, goods, services) and the distribution of finished goods. While top management can mostly be recruited through attractive compensation, experienced middle management and skilled workers are not readily available and need to be trained over time in order to achieve efficiency. Once a facility is fully operational, margins are usually much higher than in developed markets, due to low input cost and weak competition combined with high growth. As penetration rates (eg. in financial sector) are still low, growth rates can be very high; income elasticity to demand for FMCG, financial services is high ð Projects need to be developed carefully taking; importance of local partner with good track record ð Leverage should be conservative and contingencies must be sufficient to meet unexpected cost over-runs ð Implementation of governance structure is important to avoid mismanagement and fraud ð Properly managed projects/companies in Africa are highly attractive 17

SME Frontier Initiative DEG will invest EUR 100m in 10-15 SME-funds within 3 years DEG expects a relatively lower return for the facility compared to its regular / mid market fund business. In exchange the development impact should be considerably higher. All potential SME funds need to fulfill the following SME initiative criteria: The fund needs to invest in SME; whereas SME should fulfill IFC s criteria In addition to SME-investments the funds need to fulfill one of the following criteria: - specialized financing instruments (mezzanine or income participating loans) - focus on particular business segments (e.g. bottom-of-the pyramid, social entrepreneurs, climate change) - fund invests in low income and/or high risk countries 23
