A NORTH/SOUTH COMMUNITY OF INVESTORS WORKING FOR DEVELOPMENT

Investing in a sustainable future PROPARCO is a Development Finance Institution jointly held by Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and private shareholders from developed and developing countries.

Its mission is to boost private investment in emerging and developing countries in favour of growth, sustainable development and reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

PROPARCO was created thirty years ago on the conviction that the private sector has a crucial role to play in development. Its capital was tripled in 2008.

PROPARCO finances operations which are economically viable, socially equitable, environmentally sustainable and financially profitable.

Its sectoral strategy is tailored to the level of a country’s development and focuses on the productive sector, financial systems, infrastructure and equity investment.

It invests in a geographical area ranging from major emerging countries to the less developed countries, in particular in Africa, and has high-level requirements in terms of Social and Environmental Responsibility.

PROPARCO has a wide range of financial products to meet the specific needs of private investors in developing countries (loans, equity, guarantees and financial engineering).

In 2007 PROPARCO granted €600M for over fifty projects in more than thirty countries.

Systematic impact measurement Developmental and environmental impact measurement is crucial in monitoring the evolution of quality of each project. It also justifies investments and assesses their contribution to development.

PROPARCO has systematic impact measurement tools which are used to pre-select project financing and then throughout the project life.

Confirming the African continent as a priority Between 2003 and 2007 average annual growth in Africa stood at around 6%. Such exceptional growth gives reason for optimism, yet it is not enough to reach poverty reduction targets.

Supporting to African growth is more than ever before a priority to PROPARCO. PROPARCO has committed €330M on the continent, i.e. 60% of its allocations, with 45% in Sub-Saharan Africa.

PROPARCO’s activities focus on five sectors: ◆ financing companies and services, ◆ supporting financial intermediation, ◆ strengthening high-performance private infrastructure, ◆ preserving local and global environments, ◆ supporting the creation of local entrepreneur groups..

Equity needs on the rise in Mediterranean countries PROPARCO meets the financing needs of Mediterranean companies and provides an alternative to excessive debt. It also provides expert technical assistance, new partnerships and access to new markets and new technologies.

In 2007 PROPARCO committed €140M in Mediterranean countries.

Investment fund dedicated to renewable energies in India and China (€5M))

Enhancing energy efficiency in emerging countries Over the coming years, climate change, loss of biodiversity and major pandemics will be major challenges for the planet and a cornerstone for global public policy focusing on the major emerging economies (Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Thailand).

In 2007, 70% of PROPARCO’s financial commitments in emerging countries were for clean energy development projects.

Its strategy focuses on four sectors: energy, support to “model” socially or environmentally responsible (SER) companies or banks, ◆ financial intermediation on lines allocated to projects with high social or environmental impacts, ◆ investment funds dedicated to SER actions or renewable energy or energy efficiency projects. ◆ ◆

Development of a major equity investment player in the Maghreb (€12.5M of assets administrated)

Developing mobile phone networks in Ghana, Malawi, Uganda, Lao PDR (USD45.5M) and Chad (â‚Ź11M)

Creating high-performing infrastructure Effective infrastructure networks are essential for attracting foreign investors, building a local corporate fabric and providing essential services to populations.

In 2007 PROPARCO committed â‚Ź222M for basic infrastructure in 13 countries and ensured projects complied with environmental preservation.

Promoting and supporting efficient banking and financial systems Private companies in developing economies require long-term financing tailored to their needs.

PROPARCO provides support to financial institutions and helps them tailor their products to corporate requirements.

It also promotes financial markets which direct local savings towards productive activities.

SUS TAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: SECTOR - WIDE MAINS TREAMING

Participating in investment funds dedicated to corporate financing The Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) sector is key to the development of a sustainable and dynamic economic fabric.

In view of the apparent reluctance of banks in developing countries to finance

this sector, PROPARCO provides an alternative to bank financing by acquiring stakes in local investment funds dedicated to financing corporates in expansion.

Supporting productive and service sectors PROPARCO provides long-term resources, which are often lacking on local banking markets, directly to companies in local or foreign currency. Its main business sectors include plantations and primary agribusinesses, livestock farming and seaproduct packaging, modernisation and expansion of heavy industries, transportation, education and health.

Extending a cement plant in Kirene, Senegal (â‚Ź20M loan)

[ 11 ]

Supporting banking intermediation in Nigeria (USD25M credit line)

PROPARCO is positioned on high-risk areas with considerable market flaws and must therefore be able to provide a range of financial products to meet three main types of needs expressed by private companies in developing countries: access to long-term financing, hedging or mitigation for certain risks, especially political, and solutions tailored to specific issues in developing countries.

Strengthening corporate equity PROPARCO contributes to the development of private companies or financial institutions by directly investing in their equity or via equity investments in

investment funds which are generally multi-country sectoral generalists in order to diversify risk.

TAILORING AND EXTENDING OUR RANGE OF FINANCIAL PRODUCTS

Providing loans tailored to each project PROPARCO has a wide range of medium and long-term loans (up to twenty years): senior loans, junior loans, ◆ mezzanine loans, ◆ subordinated loans ◆ ◆

Moreover, PROPARCO uses financial engineering tools tailored to the main characteristics of under-development (instability of raw material rates for instance).

Working in local currency and providing a wide range of risk- hedging tools Through its signature, PROPARCO provides a guarantee of solvency and therefore facilitates the mobilisation of ressource in local currencies by private sector borrowers. It guarantees subscribers the repayment in capital and interest of the relevant loans.

In 2007 PROPARCO also developed a range of direct loans in local currency.

Supporting Morocco’s leading microfinance institution (€12.5M subordinated loan guarantee)

[ 13 ]

The main features of 2007 include net income at €23.7M and a volume of commitments at €598M, an increase from FY 2006 of respectively 230% and 50%.

The year also confirmed Africa as a priority for PROPARCO. 45% of commitments were made in Sub-Saharan Africa and 60% on the continent as a whole. PROPARCO also pursued its readjustment of allocations for infrastructure, equity and services to the poorest countries and strengthened its volume of activities on behalf of AFD.
