10 10 Why infrastructure? (i)Good infrastructure creates an enabling environment for economic activity: Lowers costs of doing business Improves global competitiveness of local production Promotes FDI and partnerships Promotes cross border investments and trade Hence promotes productivity and growth: African firms could achieve productivity gains of up to 40 percent with adequate infrastructure GDP growth could be enhanced by as much as 2% per year

11 Mozambiques growth has not been inclusive, in part due to infrastructure bottlenecks (high transportation and energy costs) Competitiveness of the economy is low (ranked 131 out of 139 economies – Global Competitiveness Index, 2010)

12 12 Why infrastructure? (ii)Added pressure from consistent growth of African economies, which has led to: Larger cities and increased urbanization Growing consumer markets Broader ties to the global economy Infrastructure stock must increase to support this growth

13 13 Why infrastructure? (iii)Linkages to local industry Manufacturing Construction Financial markets Labor Hence growth in infrastructure development activities has direct GDP growth implications Infrastructure e xpected to become the 4 th largest contributor to revenues in Africa by 2020

14 FINANCING INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT & AfDBs ROLE

15 15 US$ 93 billion required annually to finance infrastructure in Africa Current expenditure = US$ 45 billion Potential efficiency savings = US$17 billion Financing gap = US$ 31 billion

16 16 Innovative Financing Instruments Traditional Design-Bid-Build approaches given way to new and often long-term arrangements Attracting private players into infrastructure provision through different forms of PPPs (DB, DBOM, DBFO, BOO, BOT, BOOT, Full Delivery OR Program Management) Advantages: Cost savings Fully integrated client services Transferring risks Innovation Better asset management Better level of service Partnering potential Developing a new industry Benefits of economy of scale

17 17 Innovative Financing Instruments Source: Pekka Pakkala (2002) While long-term arrangements are attractive they have disadvantages too: Costly tendering process Longer tendering periods Reduction of competition (social justice), usually for large contractors Uncertainty of long term relationships Mobilization issues need to be addressed Loss of control & flexibility

18 18 Other innovative sources include – Local currency bonds – Commodity-linked bonds – Diaspora bonds – External sovereign bonds – Sovereign wealth funds Require strong institutions, credible policy environment Yet have benefits – Government maintains control – Reduce risk of sovereign debt stress – Reduce instability of financing flows – Deepen domestic financial markets

19 19 AfDBs Support to Infrastructure Lending – Sovereign incl. regional operations pool – Non-sovereign (loans and equity) Grants for technical assistance – FAPA (US$ 16 million per year towards private operations) – IPPF (US$ 15 million per year towards regional infrastructure operations) – MIC (US$ 16 million for operations in middle income countries) Risk Instruments – Guarantees – Hedging products Coordination – Hosts the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa (ICA) – Executing agency of the Program for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA)

20 AfDBs Approved Financing by Sector – Ongoing as at 31.01.2011 Infrastructure sectors now attract the lions share (46 %) of AfDBs financing

21 21 2009 Infrastructure Loans & Grants US$6.05 Billion to Infrastructure Projects US$700 Million to Regional Infrastructure Recent Key Regional Projects Funded Kenya-Ethiopia Highway Mozambique-Malawi-Zambia Highway Kenya-Tanzania Highway Burundi-Rwanda-DRC-Kenya-Uganda Power Interconnection Recent Key Regional Projects Funded Kenya-Ethiopia Highway Mozambique-Malawi-Zambia Highway Kenya-Tanzania Highway Burundi-Rwanda-DRC-Kenya-Uganda Power Interconnection Other Key National Projects Funded US$2.3 billion Power Project in RSA Power Projects in Botswana, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Lesotho Transport, power and water projects in Mozambique Other Key National Projects Funded US$2.3 billion Power Project in RSA Power Projects in Botswana, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Lesotho Transport, power and water projects in Mozambique ONRI Presentation to COMESA-EAC-SADC 2010

22 22 AfDBs regional infrastructure operations UA 1.17 billion in 2009, an increase of 57.9% over the 2008 level of UA 741.10 million 20 percent of ADF-12 resources allocated to the Regional Operations pool Increasing participation by private sector investors widening the resource base But innovations are necessary

23 23 AfDBs Support for Infrastructure in Mozambique Communications Water Supply / Sanitation PowerTransport*TOTAL Historic Operations - 1977-2010 (UA million) 35,230,78792,874,81082,403,884295,112,906505,622,387 Ongoing Operations – as at Jan 2011 (UA million) 18,000,00048,402,00030,100,00096,502,000 Recently Approved Operations (UA million) 10,250,000 135,350,000140,620,000 *Includes one multinational project, Nacala Road Corridor (UA 102.7 million) Mozambiques transport sector historically the biggest beneficiary of AfDBs funding Project pipeline shows continued strong support to infrastructure (43 % of total allocation) MZFO, 2011

24 LESSONS FROM AfDBS INTERVENTIONS Productivity and efficiency gains from infrastructure investments Cost effectiveness of regional operations Alleviation of public investment constraints through private participation

25 25 Case 1: Senegals Infrastructure PPPs Project objectives and financing: Four public-private projects approved in energy and transport between 2009 and 2011 The objective was to improve access and efficiency, and lower costs of power and transport services EUR 1.1 billion financing mobilized from private sector, DFIs (including AfDB), and Public sector

26 ProjectKey Development Outcomes Dakar Container Terminal (EUR 210 million) Increased terminal capacity and productivity e.g. capacity increased by 50% Lower indirect costs of trade e.g. average waiting time for berthing reduced from 15 hours to 1.7 hours. Dakar Toll Highway (EUR 209 million) Increased road capacity Lower indirect costs of transport by alleviating congestion e.g. average travel time from Dakar to Diamniadio from 2 hrs to 45 minutes. Cost saving to the users estimated at EUR 165.2 million in NPV. Senegal Coal Power Plant (EUR 195 million) Increase power generation capacity e.g. 925 GWh of electricity generated, about 40% of national consumption in 2008 Improve quality of electricity services e.g. reduce annual power shortages from the 176 days reported in 2008 to 40 days by 2014 Improve national electrification coverage (target: from 46% in 2008 to 66% in 2015) Blaise Diagne International Airport (EUR 525 million) Increase air freight and passenger traffic capacity e.g. annual capacity growth of 3 million passengers and 53,000 tons of cargo freight (x3 capacity increase). Improve quality and cost effectiveness of air transportation e.g. eliminate over-capacity operation at existing airports.

27 27 Case 2: Other 3 billion Networks (O3b), Multinational Project objectives and financing: The project involved the design, construction, launch and operation of a constellation of 8 medium orbit satellites Objective: delivering affordable, high bandwidth, high quality internet and cellular access to inland markets in developing countries and island economies One-third of capacity dedicated to Africa including 1 st wave off-takers from: Nigeria, DRC, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Cameroon, Sierra Leone, and Ghana Financed entirely by DFIs and private investors (US$1.1 billion) on a limited recourse basis

28 28 O3b: Key Development Outcomes Reach white areas and fragile states with high quality ICT infrastructure Improved access to mobile telephony, broadband and data networks in 9 Africa countries e.g. connect 18 million households to cellular backhaul Lower costs of ICT on the continent. – Cost savings versus the equivalent capacity from high orbit satellites estimated at US$1.3 billion net present value Regional integration through expansion of broadband internet and cellular access across several Africa countries

29 29 Case 3: North-South Corridor Program Selected development outcomes: Lower indirect costs of trade e.g. reduce time for clearance of goods from up to 5 days in 2009 to 37 hours Improve port capacity e.g. increase cargo handled at Nacala port from 0.9 million tons in 2009 to 1.6 million tons in 2015 Lower transport and transit costs by 25 percent in 2015 on Nacala corridor

30 30 Case 4: Urban Water Supply, Sanitation & Institutional Support Project in Mozambique Project objectives & financing: To improve the coverage of water and sanitation in four towns: Chókwè, Xai-Xai, Inhambane and Maxixe Financing of UA 19.06 million (ADF Loan + Grant) Development Outcomes: Improved access to safe water and sanitary facilities e.g. 284 595 new uses served with potable water Lower costs of service delivery e.g. non-technical losses reduced from 55% to about 30%

31 STRATEGIES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT & FURTHER ENGAGEMENT WITH THE AfDB Mobilize domestic resources Attract private capital Invest in regional infrastructure Invest in clean energy

32 32 Strategies for Mozambique Performing more of the old functions better Improve efficiency in use of allocated resources – An estimated 17$ billion per year lost through inefficiency in Africas infrastructure sectors Increase public allocation to capital expenditures for both new investments and maintenance The Banks role: Policy-based lending, e.g. Nigeria power sector reform program Technical assistance, e.g. FAPA TA grant accompanying a private sector operation

33 33 Strategies for Mozambique Domestic resources mobilization Infrastructure bonds in local currency Example – Kenyas long-term government infrastructure bonds – Three bonds valued at (US$1 billion) successfully issued since 2009 The Banks role: Treasury / MFW4A developing financial markets on the continent e.g. TA for bond issues, plans to invest in local currency bonds issued in RMCs Policy-based lending for financial sector reforms

34 34 Strategies for Mozambique Attract (foreign) private capital PPP model Example: Senegal Dakar Toll Highway – Total cost EUR 223 million (DFIs, foreign concessionaire, local commercial bank, government) – Bankability improved by (i) long-tenor foreign currency financing from DFIs (ii) viability gap subsidy from the state The Banks role: Financier Lead arranger e.g. Lake Turkana wind farm in Kenya Honest broker e.g. Markala sugar plantation in Mali Risk management through currency and maturity matching

35 35 Strategies for Mozambique Attract foreign private capital Private equity funds, external sovereign bonds, emerging markets investors Example: Africa Infrastructure Investment Fund 2 (AIIF-2) – US$ 500 million fund; US$5 billion in additional financing mobilized – Equity investments of US$ 10 – 100 million in up to 15 projects – Target: power and transport projects in southern Africa The Banks role: Equity and loan financing e.g. AIIF-2, Argan Infrastructure Fund Influence geographic reach of infrastructure PEFs /emerging partners Influence practice and standards of infrastructure PEFs / emerging partners

36 36 Strategies for Mozambique Invest in regional infrastructure Regional hydropower projects are the continents least-cost power development strategy & Mozambique has large potential Transport corridors capitalizing on coastal access, e.g. North-South corridor The Banks role: Financier e.g. about US$ 1 billion for N-S corridor projects. (Already supporting Nacala road corridor with US$150 mn) Project preparation and TA support, e.g. US$ 11.6mn under NEPAD-IPPF for N-S corridor projects Honest broker

37 37 Strategies for Mozambique Develop clean energy Capitalize on clean and renewable energy resource endowment (hydro, wind), bio-energy potential Tap into clean technology finance The Banks role: Experience in project structuring and financing e.g. financed Cabeolica wind farm in Cape Verde, and Markala sugar plantation in Mali Public and private sector financing Risk management facilities
