Financial Flows to Developing Countries

• Flows are trending higher, with strong growth in private flows and remittances

• However, private flows tend to be pro‐cyclical and concentrated in a few developing economies.

• Most low income countries still lack access to international capital markets

• Financial flows to LDCs also depend on access to local currency, in some places restricted by regulation.

ODA Flows• ODA remains an important source of 

financing for low income countries –equivalent to 7.4% of GDP, 60% of tax revenues.  

• ODA plays a catalytic role in MICs, crowding in other sources of financing and facilitating knowledge transfers.

• ODA flows are expected to remain stable.

• South‐south flows are increasing.  While S‐S flows tend to have lighter conditionality, they tend to more specificity in tying procurement, regional focus and sector focus.

• Private philanthropy is at $59 billion and growing.

• Poor people vs poor country dilemma

Recommendations• Raise donor flows to the 0.7% of GNI target• Make aid “better and smarter” by addressing the aid effectiveness agenda, linking aid to results, improving transparency, leveraging more private resources, and drawing on more innovative sources of finance.

• Target aid better in MICs to complement other sources of available finance.  Focus on policy development, distribution of benefits, leveraging, and risk coverage.

• Improve effectiveness of aid cooperation, by decreasing fragmentation, increasing predictability, share of aid on budget, and strengthening and use of country budget and administrative systems.

Domestic Revenue Policies as the Foundation for…

• Supporting post‐2015 achievement by aligning budgets and goals

• Macroeconomic stability• Strengthening governance and building trusted institutions

• Bridging development gaps across income and population groups.

• Addressing persistent poverty• For realizing the potential of urban and sub‐national governance structures.

• Providing and facilitating domestic public goods

Domestic Resource Mobilization Challenges

Revenues are improving in developing countries, but there are many common tax challenges:• Dealing with “hard to tax” sectors, 

especially where administrative capacity and compliance habits are weak

• Weak revenue administrations, low taxpayer morale, and poor governance

• Adroit tax planning of multinationals• Non‐compliance of state owned 

enterprises• Shallow use of information from 

financial institutions • Pressures from trade liberalization, 

regional integration, and international tax competition

Extractive Industries• EI’s are an important source of 

revenue, with significant discoveries in many low income countries

• Rents – the excess revenues over all costs of production, discovery and development – can be substantial

• Fiscal regimes vary and can be complex but…a regime that combines royalties (to secure early, stable revenues) with taxes explicitly focused on rents (to secure a good share of upside return) works well.

• Minimize fragmentation of responsibilities across agencies.

RecommendationsTried and tested methods to strengthen domestic revenue:

• Build  revenue administrations that effectively limit rent‐seeking and inappropriate behavior, capable of implementation voluntary compliance through risk management and taxpayer segmentation.

• Adopt clear laws and regulations embodying strong taxpayer protection• Eliminate tax incentives and  exemptions that forgo revenue to little useful end.• Implement a broad‐based VAT with a fairly high threshold.• Establish a broad‐based corporate income tax, at internationally competitive rates• Establish simple tax regimes for small businesses• Review energy pricing in the light of not only climate issues but local pollution damage• Extend the personal income tax base.• Levy excises on a few key items that are adequate to revenue needs and broader social concerns• Strengthen real estate taxes• Ensure fiscal regimes for extractive industries are credible enough to provide investors the stability they need but flexible

enough to ensure that revenue responds to changing circumstances.

Protecting the poorest:

• Eliminate energy subsidies, with accompanying measures to protect the poorest• Build progressivity into the tax rules to address issues of inequality• Reduce the cost of money transfers to improve remittance flows.• Garner political will to tax elites and high income/wealth individuals, to build the wider legitimacy of the tax system.

Emerging Challenges:

• Develop rules and procedures to protect the tax base against international tax avoidance• Strengthen regional cooperation and experience‐sharing in tax matters 19

The Pivotal Role of Private Finance• An essential partner to the public sector in meeting the large financing demands of the post‐2015 agenda.

• Brings know‐how, flexibility, and innovation to open up new approaches and instruments

• “Shared value” with solutions to financial, societal and environmental issues.

“Central role of the private sector in advancing innovation, creating wealth, income and jobs, mobilizing domestic resources and in turn contributing to poverty reduction” (Busan Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation)

Private Investment and Solutions:  Key Messages

1. Establish a predictable, transparent, and conducive investment climate2. Engage with private entities according to principles that support rather 

than undermine the viability of markets3. Use risk mitigation tools and project preparation know‐how to catalyze 

cross‐border capital flows and create bankable projects4. Develop local capital markets and facilitate greater access to local 

currency finance5. Strengthen local financial institutions and the financial infrastructure 

supporting them for inclusion of underserved individuals and SMEs6. Help companies expand their impact on development and the 

sustainability of their activities7. Create a supportive environment for social entrepreneurship

Recommendations to Encourage Flow of Private Finance (1/4)

• Continue to improve investment climate with market‐friendly regulations and institutions, including those governing specific sectors

• Strengthen PPP regulatory frameworks• Greater use of public‐private dialogues• MDBs important for knowledge‐sharing, advice and convening across public, private and CSOs

• Need increased focus on FCS, impact measurement, and political economy

Establishing supportive Investment climate

• MDBs, others to use key principles of public support for the private sector: additionality, crowding in, commercial sustainability, reinforcing markets, promoting high standards of conduct

• MDBs to publish principles and report on progress• Utilize related IFI guidance for concessional finance in private sector, emphasizing transparency and phasing out over time

Recommendations to Encourage Flow of Private Finance (2/4)

• MDBs, governments to develop scalable pooled vehicles (or co‐investment platforms) for risk mitigation through risk sharing, information economies of scale, and project structuring advice

• Build capacity to engage at the individual project level to mitigate risk, e.g. through PPPs, guarantees, risk insurance, blended finance, and innovative structures (structured finance, diaspora bonds)

• Prepare and structure complex projects with potential for commercial viability by 1) improving effectiveness of project preparation facilities (PPFs) and 2) expanding knowledge‐sharing and technical assistance especially on PPPs

• Support expansion of traditional activities of MDBs to leverage more outside capital, e.g. equity and debt vehicles (AMC, MCPP, IADB CCFLAC, Africa Growing Together Fund)

Recommendations to Encourage Flow of Private Finance (3/4)

• MDBs provide 1) advice on institutions and regulations, 2) credit enhancement to increase attractiveness of bond offerings, 3) regional bond funds for scale, 4) their own local currency bond issues 

• Address information asymmetry with benchmark and market data• Expand domestic investor base, e.g. through growth of domestic insurance 

and pension funds• Develop MDB access to local currency (e.g. Central Bank swaps, TCX)

Developing local capital markets and facilitating 

local currency finance

• Expand financial inclusion of individuals: 1) policies and institutions to expand financial institution reach, foster innovative payment systems, and strengthen consumer protection; 2) project lending to support innovative financial and payment models; 3) knowledge sharing

• Expand financing for SMEs: 1) work with local banks, microfinance institutions, private equity funds, leasing to target SMEs, 2) build financial infrastructure ‐‐ credit reporting, collateral registries, payment systems; 3) regulatory and institutional reform to promote responsible financial sector growth, competition, capacity in judicial systems, new forms of collateral, 4) develop innovative debt funding structures (portfolio risk‐sharing, etc.)

Closer Look at Long‐Term Finance• Essential for investment in fixed assets for 

development, e.g. roads, railways, schools, power, communications.

• Allows firms to undertake fixed investment at a reasonable cost and minimal roll‐over risk.

• Helps raise household welfare by smoothing and improving lifecycle income.

• But overextension of long‐term finance could be costly and contribute to instability, especially in weak institutional and policy environments.

• Short‐term lending can be valuable and bring scrutiny of firms, in particular when institutions are weak.

• Households may not comprehend complex financial instruments.

Long‐term Finance Trends• Securities markets and financial 

institutions channeling long‐term finance from savers to borrowers have developing significantly in advanced and emerging markets for the past decades.

• Since the global financial crisis, firm use of long term debt has declined in low income countries.

• Volumes of syndicated loans have declined since the financial crisis for countries of all income groups, but bond issuances have picked up in emerging markets.

• The use of long term finance by households is higher in more developed countries and in countries that have stable macroeconomic frameworks, low inflation and strong legal and institutional frameworks.

Tailoring –design 

solution(s)

ENHANCING DEVELOPMENT IMPACTThe goals of innovative finance are to: 1) Find and multiply new resources, 2) Use financing efficiently, and 3) Incentivize results and crowd in 

partners.

• Additionality – more money for development:A financial mechanism or solution is considered additional if it generates a distinctly new flow of funds for a development program or purpose. 

• Efficiency – structure the money betterEfficient financial mechanisms are a form of innovative finance that change the fundamental characteristics of cash flows to better align them with the needs of a program. Uncertainty and risk can be reduced by changing the currency of cash flows, the timing of receipts and payments, and/or their reliability or certainty of the cash flows. 

• Effectiveness – more development impact for the money Innovative financial mechanisms are effective when available funds are used to i) attract external resources to an initiative beyond those that could simply be purchased with the available funds, and/or ii) increase the purchasing power of the available funds.

Global, Regional and Country Strategies for GPG Challenges

• Defining global public goods:  the global conversation often jumbles public and private goods; local, regional and global goods; public goods and public “bads”; public goods and externalities.

• Traditional guidance – use public funds for public goods; private funds to support private goods – is not easily applied.  It is hard to measure and value externalities, global benefits/damages. Development challenges comprise both public and private goods, and require both public and private funding.

Public goods are: 

“non‐rival” (if I consume a public good this does not prevent you from doing so) 

and“non‐excludable” (I can’t restrict you from consuming a public good)

FINANCING GOAL should be most effective use and leverage of public/grant funding

GPG Challenges: Examples

Health Underinvestment in local, regional and global public 

goods (preparation, knowledge, surveillance, 

immunization)Agriculture

Need to distinguish between farming as a private activity versus AGR R&D as a GPG, 

externalities (ecosystems services, nutrition) Climate Change –

Development finance and climate finance are two sides of the same coin: climate change is one of the most significant 

threats to development

Framework for Climate‐Development FinanceIncidence of benefits of climate action

Local (private and public) good for a developing country

Blended local and global benefits. Global public good

Benefits of climate resilient development are local

Climate resilience is equivalent to sound and sustainable development.

Local benefits also accrue from climate mitigation actions by removing  preexisting distortions and improving policies with income

National returns to climate mitigation actions only if incremental cost of global public goods is covered (and remaining distortions removed)

Implications for climate and development finance

Climate finance is development finance, goals are aligned

Climate finance complements development finance

Development finance becomes climate finance

Design considerations to enhance impact

Concessional terms for low‐income countries 

Additional finance for preventive action, institutional development and risk management

Opportunity to leverage private finance 

Local public good justifies co‐financing from local public funds

Support for regulatory reforms and institutional strengthening

Climate finance may be  structured as result‐based payments to purchase global public goods

Policy conditionality for sustainable outcomes

Strong leverage of local private and public finance

Recommendations: GPG Challenges• True global public goods – e.g. knowledge, security, global 

commons, etc – should be handled internationally, cooperatively • True GPGs need global financial resources:  assess existing 

institutions and global funds and their potential for coordination, collaboration, scale up.

• Exercise caution in establishing new “vertical” funds to address GPGs, since addressing these challenges often requires fundamentally domestic, systemic and multi‐sectoral responses.

• Big development challenges mix public‐private good and regional/global issues. Continue to get better at coordinated public‐private support; keep States first in the driver’s seat domestically while providing support and incentives for coordination.

Policies to Promote Long Term Financing

• Stable political and macroeconomic environment• Strong legal and institutional environment• Attention to the contracting environment, especially framework for collateral, 

contract enforcement, credit quality information.• Corporate governance• Regulations that affect bank size, capitalization, and funding.• Local securities markets and institutional investors as a complement to the role of 

the Banking system.• Foster a domestic base of institutional investors• Limit the transmission of shocks and volatility in financial markets• Enhance the availability and use of long term finance by households, e.g. with 

financial literacy, consumer regulation, disclosure rules and provision of investment default options. 

• Regulatory environment to minimize risks at various stages of the production and life cycle of infrastructure assets

• Public sector policies and programs to stimulate the environment for long term private contracts, e.g. guarantees and risk enhancements, PPP frameworks.
