Factors that could affect Borrowings of Public Sector Entities • State of Finance of the SOE • Stage of development of the relevant sector and the Regulatory environment • Credit History • Credit Rating • Source of revenues (generally local currency) • Limited to access to local markets
Factors that could affect State Entities Access to International Financing • Limited financing capacity of local markets • Recourse to international markets to fund infrastructure investments in foreign currency • Repayment obligations in foreign currency require access to foreign exchange which often necessitates Sovereign Guarantees
Sovereign Guarantees • Guarantee provided by the Government to backstop a public entity’s payment or performance obligations in the context of public sector borrowings or PPPs Pros: • Facilitates access to international debt and capital markets • Enables better terms of financing from commercial markets • Endorsement of Government of the Financing/Project
Contd. Sovereign Guarantees Cons: • Creates contingent liability for the Government which may require budgetary allocation • Impacts on borrowing capacity of Government and its debt profile • Involves assumption of the underlying risk by the Government
Third Party Guarantees • In addition to Sovereign Guarantees third party Guarantees may be required in support of financings because of: • Perception of political risk resulting from • Possibility of Reversal in Government Policy • Changes in Government that could lead to a reneging of previous Government’s contractual undertakings
Third Party Guarantees • Private Insurance Market • Export Credit Agencies • Bilateral Institutions • Multilateral Institutions
The World Bank Guarantee Program • Leveraging Bank resources • Catalyzing private sector finance in support of developmental objectives • Facilitating member countries access to the international debt and capital markets
Partial Risk Guarantees • Rationale: Promotes privatization by catalyzing private sector interest through political risk mitigation • Purpose: Supports debt financing in the form of commercial debt or shareholder loans or provides cash flow support • Guarantee coverage: Critical sovereign risks related to Government commitments under the relevant Contractual Agreements • Modality: For Privatization, Concessions, or other PPP structures, or for Greenfield Projects
Partial Credit Guarantees * • Partial Credit (PCG) • Generally for public sector projects/entities • Covers debt service default for specified payments • Alternative structures developed for different credits and market conditions • Policy Based Guarantees (PBG) • For Sovereign or Sub Sovereign entities • With DPO IDA Credits or on a ‘stand alone’ basis under the DPO framework • For fiscal support • To improve debt terms for government borrowings * Expected to be made available to IDA countries this year. *
IBRD Enclave Guarantees for IDA-only Countries • IBRD Enclave Loans can support public and private projects • IBRD Enclave Partial Risk Guarantees (PRG) support private projects • ‘Enclave Structure’ in support of foreign exchange generating projects that rely primarily on acceptable credit enhancements to IBRD (e.g. through offshore escrow accounts funded by foreign exchange (FX) revenues, strong third party guarantee) in addition to host country government counter-guarantee
Contd. IBRD Enclave Guarantees for IDA-only Countries • Alternative ‘Enclave Structure’ in support of projects in relatively high-rated IDA countries (i) that have clear economic benefits (e.g. import substitution) but do not themselves generate foreign exchange; and (ii) projects that have clear economic benefits with strong financial flows in local currency through an offtake to a stronger creditworthy party • IBRD Enclave support would be additional to IDA’s Country Envelope
