Download or read book Mobilizing Domestic Capital Markets for Infrastructure Financing written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1997 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Technical Paper No. 369. Hydropower and irrigation projects involving reservoirs can displace thousands of people from their traditional lands and deprive them of their livelihoods. If poorly planned, they can also lead to environmental degradation. Solutions to these problems must be found--solutions that are technically feasible, sustainable, environmentally appropriate, and acceptable to the people who are resettled. This paper explains how the planned, integrated development of fishery ecosystems in reservoirs not only can mitigate the negative social consequences of dam construction, but also can enhance the economic benefits from hydropower and irrigation projects in many developing countries. The paper draws on the success of fish farming efforts in the Saguling and Cirata reservoirs in Java, which attests to the potential for creating employment in reservoirs that are in place and under construction around the world.

This book analyzes revenues, policy, and administration of Domestic Resource Mobilization (DRM) in developing countries. It provides a broad landscape of practical examples, drawing from lessons learned in World Bank operations across Global Practices over the past several decades. It should be thought of as a starting point for a more comprehensive research agenda rather than a complete inventory itself. This book reviews the trends in tax revenue collection in developing countries. It provides an overview of efforts to close the revenue gap, many of which have been supported by World Bank operations. The book reviews the special challenges facing low income countries, which have traditionally relied on indirect revenues in the context of limited formalization of their economies. An overview of tax policy and administration reform programs is presented, with an overview of outstanding issues that will shape the policy agenda in years ahead.

Book excerpt: The main objective of the Financial Markets Development Project is to support the Government's efforts to foster more effective financial intermediation of resources, as well as more efficient operation of markets, as a key ingredient for sustained economic growth. Specific project objectives are to: (i) develop the financial markets into a more efficient channel for mobilizing domestic savings and financing investment; (ii) improve the institutional capacities for financial sector policy formulation and strengthen the regulatory and supervisory framework in order to, inter alia, minimize the risk of loss of confidence in the financial markets; (iii) contribute to increase the supply of securities, by inter alia facilitating the introduction of new financial instruments; (iv) consolidate the implementation of the social security reform; (v) contribute to deter corrupt or fraudulent practices such as money laundering; and (vi) contribute to more efficient operation of financial and non-financial markets by promoting competition and deterring anti-competitive practices in those markets. The components of the project are as follows: 1) developing the financial markets into a more efficient intermediation channel; 2) strengthening regulation and supervision capacity in the financial sector; 3) increasing the supply of securities and the availability of other financial instruments; 4) consolidating the implementation of the new social security system; 5) developing a system for control of corrupt and fraudulent practices; 6) developing competition and anti-trust policy capacity; and 7) project management and administration.

Book excerpt: The World Bank Group is shifting from lending to mobilizing third-party money by leveraging its financial and advisory resources, with the goal of moving from billions to trillions of dollars in development financing. The promising start to Colombia's 4G road project is evidence of the role that partnerships between governments and development banks can play in unlocking urgently needed infrastructure financing. The lessons learned from the 4G project will help similar partnerships replicate its success in other developing countries with adequate levels of domestic capital market development and similar challenges in infrastructure financing.

Download or read book Mexico Financial Sector Assessment Program written by Internationaler Währungsfonds and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico's challenges in infrastructure finance can be framed along similar lines as other Advanced Economies (AEs) and large Emerging Market Economies (EMEs). Mexico is particularly well placed to make capital markets a reliable financing source complementing bank financing. Its capital markets are relatively mature, there is sufficient critical mass of long-term domestic institutional investors, and there is a relevant track record of innovative solutions for infrastructure financing from which to build. Section B of this Technical Note assesses the degree of maturity of the Mexican capital markets in those aspects that are most relevant for infrastructure financing. Section C discusses the different elements of the infrastructure financing ecosystem taking stock of the PPP framework and financial innovations that have been developed, with emphasis on impact, expected developments and potential improvements. Section D, discusses the role of development financial institutions in mobilizing private sector financing with emphasis on Banobras and Fonadin. Finally, section E concludes and provides a set of recommendations.
Download or read book Resource Financed Infrastructure written by Håvard Halland and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-09 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, resource-rich developing countries have been using their natural resources as collateral to access sources of finance for investment, countervailing the barriers they face when accessing conventional bank lending and capital markets. One of the financing models that have emerged as a result is the Resource Financed Infrastructure (RFI) model, a derivation of previous oil-backed lending models pioneered by several Western banks in Africa. Under a Resource Financed Infrastructure (RFI) arrangement, a loan for current infrastructure construction is securitized against the net present value of a future revenue stream from oil or mineral extraction. The model has been applied in several African countries, for a cumulative contract value of approximately $30 billion, according to publically available sources. This report, consisting of a study prepared by global project finance specialists Hunton & Williams LLP and comments from six internationally reputed economists and policy makers, provides an analytical discussion of resource-financed infrastructure (RFI) contracting from a project finance perspective. The report is meant as a forum for in-depth discussion and as a basis for further research into RFIs role, risks, and potential, without any intention to present a World Banksupported view on RFI contracting. It is motivated by the conviction that if countries are to continue to either seek RFI or receive unsolicited RFI proposals, there is an onus on public officials to discern bad deals from good, to judge unavoidable trade-offs, and to act accordingly. The report aims to provide a basis for developing insights on how RFI deals can be made subject to the same degree of public policy scrutiny as any other instrument through which a government of a low- or lower-middle-income country might seek to mobilize development finance.

Download or read book Mobilization Effects of Multilateral Development Banks written by Chiara Broccolini and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We use loan-level data on syndicated lending to a large sample of developing countries between 1993 and 2017 to estimate the mobilization effects of multilateral development banks (MDBs), controlling for a large set of fixed effects. We find evidence of positive and significant direct and indirect mobilization effects of multilateral lending on the number of deals and on the total size of bank inflows. The number of lending banks and the average maturity of syndicated loans also increase after MDB lending. These effects are present not only on impact, but they last up to three years and are not offset by a decline in bond financing. There is no evidence of anticipation effects and the results are not driven by confounding factors, such as the presence of large global banks, Chinese lending and aid flows. Finally, the economic effects are sizable, suggesting that MBDs can play a vital role to mobilize private sector financing to achieve the goals of the 2030 Development Agenda.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging market economies (EMEs) face significant funding gaps in strategic sectors, such as infrastructure and small and medium enterprise (SME) financing, that if not addressed can stifle growth. In this context, in 2015 the finance and markets (F and M) global practice led the production of a joint World Bank Group (WBG) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report for the G20 on capital markets instruments to mobilize institutional investors to infrastructure and SME financing in emerging market economies. The report focuses on fixed income instruments that can help mobilize domestic institutional investors, in particular pension funds and insurance companies, to infrastructure and SME financing in EMEs and provide policy recommendations to facilitate their use.
Download or read book The Development of Local Capital Markets written by Mr.Luc Laeven and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-12-19 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capital markets can improve risk sharing and the efficiency with which capital is allocated to the real economy, boosting economic growth and welfare. However, despite these potential benefits, not all countries have well developed capital markets. Moreover, government-led initiatives to develop local capital markets have had mixed success. This paper reviews the literature on the benefits and costs of developing local capital markets, and describes the challenges faced in the development of such markets. The paper concludes with a set of policy recommendations emerging from this literature.
