FINANCING HOUSING DELIVERY A view from NURCHA Presented By Nhlanhla Mjoli-Mncube Deputy CEO Wednesday, 26 March 2003
A view from NURCHA • The context • What NURCHA has achieved • Things we think about • NURCHA’s future: arranging sustainable finance.
THE CONTEXT • 1995 Hope - Transformation • Sustantial resources: - massive inequality • Intervention required • Reduce inequality • Normalise the market • Politicised housing environment • Nervous banks • Many institutions formed
NURCHA’s ACHIEVEMENTS BRIDGING FINANCE GUARANTEES SINCE 1996: • Raised R 140 million in guarantees • Issued guarantees valued at R 264 million • For 510 loans totalling R .5 billion • Financing 113 000 houses • Valued at R 1,5 billion
CONCERNS • Banks lose their appetite • Losses • Difficult business • Banking shakedown • Short term view
CONCERNS 2. The limitation of the guarantee • Shares risk but provides no capital • Only downside potential 3. A slowdown in new business • Declining subsidy value • Major new policies 4. The need to sustain ourselves
THE FUTURE 1. DIVERSIFY PRODUCT RANGE Not just Guarantees but • Full range of credit enhancements • Wholesale and retail lending • Equity or quasi equity $50 million free credit enhancement from OSI
FUTURE 2. Diversify financing partners • Capital markets • Development finance institutions • Donors 3. Reduce risks and improve risk management 4. Find the champions and fund them NURCHA making the match
FINANCIERS CAPITAL MARKETS DONORS DFIS NURCHA PACKAGES FINANCES CHAMPIONS FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS CONSTRUCTION: RENTAL + CREDIT LINKED + SUBSIDY FINANCING CONSTRUCTION
NURCHA’s VISION “ An organisation that is regarded as a partner of first choice for those seeking innovative housing finance solutions”
RESPONSE TO BUDGET Budget amount is okay, however there are constraints to budget roll out: • Policy on R2479 needs to be politically popularised • Municipal and official buy in • Developer and contractor commitment and role clarification • Design of systems and procedures for the management of R2479 • Interim arrangements during transitional period • Local authority capatilisation
SOME ALTERNATIVES ON THE GROUND • Individual contractor-driven subsidy • Rural subsidies as a mechanism of avoiding R2479 • People’s Housing Process redefined to allow contractor participation • Role of banks and other financial institutions and need for support
OPIC & OSI $ 20 million guarantee R 20 million first loss guarantee NURCHA Loans Paymaster Paymaster Contractor Contractor AN EXAMPLE: THE OPIC FUND RMB Revolving Credit Facility ± R 200 million
THE COST OF FUNDS RMB – Nurcha = Prime -2,3% + OPIC Fee = 2,5% = Prime + 0,2% Nurcha admin fee = R69 per house Paymaster admin fee = ±R500 per house
THE PAYMASTER • Evaluates the loan • Approves on Nurcha’s behalf • Opens a project account • Pays material suppliers directly • Releases funds for labour costs
BENEFITS TO CONTRACTORS • Access to funds • Discounts from suppliers • More rapid payments from province • Tight financial control and monitoring
