  14. DEG activities in the African Infrastructure sector Infrastructure Brochure / Cologne / 25.02.2013

  15. Infrastructure: The African context High and sustainable economic growth of Africa’s economy: 5.4% average growth 2004-2012 (source: African Economic Outlook 2013) Expected increasing FDIs: USD 42.7bn in 2011, USD 49.7bn in 2012 and expected USD 56.6bn in 2013 (source: African Economic Outlook 2013) Current spending on African Infrastructure: USD 45bn p.a.; need to spend USD 93bn p.a. to plug the infrastructure gap in Africa (source Infrastructure Investor Africa/AICD/World Bank)

  16. DEG activities in the African Infrastructure: sub-sectors Power production and distribution: conventional thermal (HFO, diesel, gas), renewables (wind, hydro, geothermal, solar, biomass) Telecommunication: mobile, fixed line, towers, submarine cables, satellite Water & waste: treatment, supply, sewage systems, desalination Transport: airports, railways, toll roads, harbors, container terminals, pipelines

  17. Type of Transactions Expansion of existing business Greenfield projects (with strong sponsor) Privatization Buy-outs (combined with new investments or significant improvements through new shareholder structure)

  18. DEG financing in the African Infrastructure DEG commitments in African Infrastructure (as of 31.05.2013): All Infrastructure: USD 664m (= 29% of USD 2.3bn global DEG commitments) Power: > USD 200m = 31% of USD 650m globally (10 projects – gas, diesel, geothermal, hydro, wind, solar); strong African project pipeline: > USD 150m in 2013/4 Telecommunication: Africa USD 380m (21 projects – mobile (18), fixed line (1), towers (1), submarine cables (1), satellite (1); project pipeline: > USD 80m (mobile, towers) Water & waste: nil Transport:> USD 100m (gas pipeline, rail, container terminal, toll road/bridge, barges, logistics)

  19. Conclusions for future DEG activities in African Infrastructure Strong business potential in African infrastructure due to existing gap and high GDP growth rates; DEG to almost double its new commitments in Africa to ca. USD 600m p.a. within next 4 years, expects up to 40-50% of its future business in Africa coming from infrastructure sector Power/Energy to remain the key sector for DEG; focus on renewable energy but also conventional thermal energy and energy distribution. Key countries: South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Zambia; also open for other countries (off-take structure, legal environment for IPPs) Telecommunication remains strong sector, shift from mobile (voice) to data transfer and infrastructure service providers (e.g. towers) expected High potential for transport sector: container terminals/ports, toll roads, airports, pipelines, logistics, etc. Water & waste: on selective basis (market liberalization = prerequisite)
