Introduction…

  • Historically Africa has been considered one of the

riskiest continents for doing business and has therefore attracted a small share of world FDI.

  • Despite the global financial crisis, in the last decade

many African countries have made significant progress in improving their business climates and investors are taking notice of the many investment opportunities.

  • The purpose of this presentation is to illustrate:

– Some of the challenges/opportunities for doing business in Africa, – How the African Development Bank can assist investors to achieve success in Africa.

As a public institution the Bank has a unique business perspective

AfDB’s Business Perspective

  • Public Interest – consider what is best for all stakeholders

i.e. investors, financiers, employees, suppliers, off-takers, governments, local communities, international community.

  • Long-term View – consider what is best in the long-term

looking through market cycles, crises.

  • Risk Taker – ready to put capital at risk in countries and

sectors to lead the way for private investors.

  • Development Maximizer Not Profit Maximizer – ready to

spend resources to enhance overall development impact.

The AfDB addresses private sector development (PSD) at two primary levels

  • Assist African governments to improve the business enabling

environment:

– Improve essential “hardware” (e.g. power, ICT, transportation) – Improve “software” (e.g. regulatory and legal frameworks, financial sector, trade liberalization, business development services)

  • Create strong demonstration effect by assisting entrepreneurs

to achieve success with a select number of transactions:

– Infrastructure (e.g. power, transportation, telecoms, water) – Industries and Services (e.g. mining, O&G, cement, agribus, hotels) – Financial Intermediation (e.g. banks, MFIs, insurance, leasing)

The AfDB’s Private Sector Development Strategy

The AfDB can help partners with its unique “value-added proposition”

  • Project selection track record – low loss rate (<1%)
  • Local knowledge – experience on the ground
  • Dialogue with governments – mitigate political risks
  • Packaging resources – market, concessional, g’tees, LCY
  • Reliable – take long-term perspective to market cycles
  • Scale to handle most transactions – $0.5 to US$500 million
  • Competitive cost – risk-based market pricing, longer tenor
  • Intrusive – examine all aspects of the projects
  • Demanding – insist on a fair deal

In summary...

  • Although Africa has been left behind for many decades,

huge opportunities for long-term investors are opening up.

  • The AfDB is scaling up its efforts for private sector

development and is looking to strengthen its partnership investors, bankers and “world class” corporations.

  • The AfDB can: (i) help investors achieve business

success in Africa, and (ii) ensure that this commercial success helps Africa achieve sustainable and equitable development.
