  3. The World Bank Group and Municipal Finance • The World Bank has provided billions of dollars over the years to municipalities around the world - however, always with sovereign guarantees, as required by the Bank’s charter. • The World Bank has also provided advice and knowledge support in the area of decentralization • The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has traditionally invested in projects with majority private sector sponsorship. Thus, a gap exists for investment in well run sub-sovereign operations without sovereign guarantees

  5. Municipal Fund Background • Established in May 2003, The Municipal Fund is a joint World Bank/IFC initiative to invest in projects at the state and municipal level - without taking sovereign guarantees. • Brings together IFC’s credit assessment and market expertise and the World Bank’s public policy and capacity building experience to address the needs of the municipal finance market.

  6. Municipal Fund Background • We support investments made by states, municipalities and municipally controlled entities in numerous sectors including: water, wastewater, electricity, district heating companies, solid waste and urban transport. • We can also support public-private projects such as leases, management contracts and concessions, either through investments on the municipal side or in private concessions/Special Purpose Vehicles where control is municipal or sub-sovereign.

  7. Municipal Fund Operations • The Municipal Fund invests from IFC’s balance sheet which is AAA and has full access to IFC’s strong credit assessment, financial product line (including local currency financing) and risk management capabilities (swaps, options, forward contracts). • Full array of financial products - can provide debt, guarantees and equity/quasi equity/subordinated debt.
