Private investment is highly sensitive to sovereign risks Strong direct correlation between sovereign risk and private participation in infrastructure (PPI) as compared with FDI overall PPI increases with freedom from corruption, rule of law, quality of regulations, and 3 rd party oversight; decreases with court disputes FDI / GDP Weak correlation between Country Risk and predicted value of FDI/GDP 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 0 20 40 60 80 100-0.1-0.2-0.3 Higher Risk - Country Risk Rating - Lower Risk PPI / GDP 0.013 0.011 0.009 0.007 0.005 0.003 0.001-0.001 0 20 40 60 80 100-0.003 Strong correlation between Country Risk and the predicted value of PPI Greenfield/GDP Higher Risk - Country Risk Rating - Lower Risk Source: Effects of Country Risk & Conflict on Infrastructure PPPs, Araya, Schwartz, Andres, World Bank (2013).

What GIF does: Project selection criteria Eligible project types Infrastructure investment project/program Implemented by private entity (e.g. as PPP), or commercial SOE, with substantial private capital investment Energy Water & Sanitation Transport Telecoms and ICT Eligible sectors What projects? Identifiable development impact, via improved infrastructure Aligned with country priorities Viable, sustainable, and value for money Potential to mobilize private capital Complex value-add from GIF platform Thematic focus areas Climate smart: low-emitting, encouraging efficiency, or improving resilience; and/or Trade enabling: enhancing connectivity and trade PLUS diverse portfolio across sectors, regions, country incomes, and overall needs/time to market Annex WB Cascade 8
The basic concept of the Cascade Maximize finance for value-adding development investments Promote the judicious use of scarce public and concessional resources to crowd-in commercial capital and minimize the public debt burden on clients while delivering sustainable and affordable infrastructure services 17 User fee or general taxes? Not all infrastructure can be funded by consumers The features of natural monopolies, public goods, and market failures: Managing with exludability, externality and equity challenges High Feasibilit y of cost recovery (excluda bility) Low Some cost recovery Urban Rail Water Treatment Rural Roads No cost recovery Low Rural Telephony Wastewater Treatment Full cost Container Power recovery Terminals Mobile Distribution Licenses Renewable Power Urban Roads Desirability of cost recovery (Externalities, demandside management, poverty and equity concerns) Telecom Backbone No cost recovery High 18 9
Current Situation The reality on the ground 17 percent of developing-country water utilities generate enough revenues to be deemed credit-worthy Only two countries in Sub-Saharan Africa charge tariffs high enough to recover the full capital cost of service provision Affordability concerns Who pays? User fees vs. taxes: the poor may be best served by a combination of cost recovery plus targeted subsidies and payment schemes Who finances? Public vs. commercial: commercial financing costs more often a binding constraint for low income countries; but high opportunity cost of public and concessional finance 19 Sustainable infrastructure finance through a Cascade approach 1 2 3 4 Commercial Financing Commercial bank debt Institutional investors x- borders Upstream Capital markets Reforms & & Market bonds Failures Country and Sector Policies Regulations and Pricing Institutions and Capacity Can commercial financing be cost-effectively mobilized for sustainable investment? If not Can upstream reforms be put in place to address market failures? If not Capitalizing on WBG Knowledge Assets to Support Global Public Goods Can risk instruments & credit enhancements cost-effectively cover remaining risks? If not Public and Concessional Resources for Risk Instruments and Credit Enhancements Guarantees Public First Loss and Concessional Financing, including Sub-Sovereign Public finance (incl. national development banks and domestic SWF) MDBs and DFIs Can development objectives be resolved with scarce public financing? 20 10
