Preliminary estimates show up to $100 billion of projects being scaled back • Rapid scaling back of hedge funds • Private equity funds are holding back capital • Investors are demanding higher returns • Private investors focusing on largest markets, good policy frameworks, developing countries may get crowded out • Project delays today can have medium term implications due to long lead times
Evidence from PPI database: Aug-Nov 08 • 31 projects ($17b) reached financial closure – about 30 percent below similar level in 2007 • 29 projects ($23b) delayed by Nov 2008. • 70 projects ($60b) potentially delayed if reduced financing continues
For private projects, proposed IFC Facility To act as a temporary substitute for non-available commercial financing • Expand resources available to increase pool of available funds • Investment objectives • Stabilize viable existing infrastructure investments at risk • Continue flow of new infrastructure investments
As the financial crisis becomes a fiscal crisis other effects emerge • Overall scaling back of government expenditures in infrastructure • O&M expenditures particularly likely to be hard hit • Financial assumptions on PPP projects come into question • Infrastructure pipeline delayed
Three Pronged Approach • Debt Facility • To rollover existing debt • Provide debt for new projects coming to market • Equity facility • Joint WBG Advisory Services
Advisory Service Component • Governments will need help on how to • Design projects considering new market realities • Handle crisis related stress of existing projects • Expected increased demand for advisory support • Facility to expand available funds for infrastructure advisory through IFC advisory services and WB teams funded through PPIAF
Complementary WB response • Scaling up of IDA/IBRD lending • To support public sector commitments of existing projects • To maintain a pipeline of new projects • Support PPPs through increased public sector commitment/risk enhancement mechanisms/innovative instruments
