World Bank Guarantees

World Bank Guarantees: key features IBRD/IDA balance sheet available to all countries eligible for borrowing from IBRD or IDA Bank Guarantees back government obligations Bank Guarantees cover private debt against a government’s (or government entity’s) failure to meet specific obligations to a private or public project mobilize private sector participation and help catalyze debt with extended maturities and lower financing costs flexibility – structured to meet borrower and project requirement an integral part of Country Assistance Strategy counter guarantee from Member Country Bank Articles requirement indicates project priority for Government and Bank benefits from the ongoing sector and country engagement of the Bank 10

Benefits of World Bank Guarantees for governments… catalyzes private financing for key sectors such as infrastructure provides access to capital markets as well as commercial banks reduces cost of private financing to affordable levels facilitates privatizations and public private partnerships reduces government risk exposure by passing commercial risk to the private sector encourages cofinancing    for the private sector… reduces risk of private transactions in emerging countries mitigates risks that the private sector does not control opens new markets improves project sustainability 11

Rationale for the Guarantee Program and Basic Structures “To help extend the reach of private financing by mitigating perceived risk and encourage private sector involvement in developing countries.” Two Basic Structures Partial Risk Guarantees Partial Credit Guarantees Five instruments: IBRD Partial Risk Guarantees IDA Partial Risk Guarantees IBRD Enclave Guarantees for IDA-only countries IBRD Partial Credit Guarantees IBRD Policy Based Guarantees 12

Principles of Deployment Guarantees can be considered in the following situations: Sectors in early stages of reform Larger size/riskier operations Operations highly dependent on support/undertakings of governments Structure and coverage set at the lowest level to mobilize financing IDA conserves IDA resources Provides a better allocation of risk 13

WB Guarantees do not increase the government’s contingent liabilities “The host government’s indemnity of the World Bank does not increase the government’s liabilities when the government is already directly obligated to the private sector on the same liabilities.” “Involving the Private Sector in Forestalling and Resolving Financial Crises – Private Project Finance Flows to Developing Countries,” IMF Board Paper SM/99/211, August 20, 1999, page 21. 14

No overlap with MIGA or IFC instruments 15
