Dov Zerah

President of Proparco and Chief Executive Officer of the AFD

The President’s message The resilience with which the Southern countries have faced these last two years of global economic and financial crisis is certainly proof of the emergence and strength of development in this part of the world. Sub-Saharan Africa in particular has weathered the storm. Whilst building upon sound macro-economic principles, the uninterrupted growth of the African continent for almost a decade is also the result of a dynamic and innovative private sector.

Indeed, private sector initiatives multiply the potential for growth.

In times of public sector spending reductions, these initiatives can help achieve development objectives and respond to the needs of the population, notably through job creation and the provision of services to the most needy.

More broadly, by placing greater emphasis on social and environmental policy, private entreprise can become a driving force behind improvements in the living and working conditions of local communities. Countries have everything to gain from a prosperous and well-structured private sector due to both jobs and services to the population as well as additional, stable tax revenues. Year after year, private sector support, firmly enhanced by high standards of social and environmental responsibility, continues to form an integral part of public development aid strategies.

PROPARCO continues to offer a complete range of long term financial products to Southern entrepreneurs – loans, guarantees, local currency financing, equity financing, partners’ current accounts and thus wholeheartedly fulfils its role as a private investment catalyst in developing countries.

2010 has again been a record year for our institution with nearly one billion Euros of new commitments. This financing will stimulate private initiative, consolidate sound economic projects and contribute to economic growth. PROPARCO’s particularly low bad debt ratio, shows that investing in Southern countries is not only beneficial but also profitable.

This success bears witness to the soundness of our business model made possible through the backing of our activities by the Agence

10

Française de Développement, the governance and strategic management support from our North and South shareholders, a solid financial structure and a large network of European and global partners.

This positive outcome should not however blind us to the challenges ahead. Firstly, we must consolidate our business model by containing our operating costs, by reinforcing our procedures and our organisation whilst at the same time maintaining our privileged position in SubSaharan Africa where we have become the preeminent bilateral partner.

With the number of people globally suffering from hunger surpassing the one billion mark in 2009, we must now concentrate our efforts on agriculture and the agro-food industry which have largely been overlooked by public development aid during past decades.

Financial partnerships between investors and entrepreneurs may prove useful in ensuring the feeding of the estimated nine billion world population in 2050.

I am aware of the difficulties surrounding the support given to small and medium enterprises, in particular in this domain where activity is largely based on small family farms. However, as developers, we have a powerful tool which will certainly prove decisive in our mission to reduce poverty.

Through its countercyclical role and principal of additionality which guide its financing projects, PROPARCO has shown its capacity to support developing countries throughout this economic and financial crisis. Determined to accompany the Mediterranean countries in their transition, we shall pursue an upbeat rhythm of investment, thereby also re-affirming our role as a major investor in this region.

Authorised since 2009 to operate in all countries outside of the OECD, we will continue our efforts in emerging markets in support of green and inclusive growth.

Behind these issues are not only the lives of men and women but also the future of their children. To meet these challenges, I know that I can count on the expertise of all of PROPARCO’s employees that I here wish to thank for their professionalism, enthusiasm and drive to develop our business.

Etienne Viard

Chief Executive Officer of PROPARCO

Interview with the Chief Executive Officer What has been noteworthy in 2010?

For PROPARCO, 2010 has been an African year. With more than 420 million Euros in new commitments (almost 45% of annual financing), we have become sub-Saharan Africa’s leading bilateral partner. This region has always been one of our priorities; our legitimacy depends on it. Credit for these unprecedented results belongs to my predecessor, Luc Rigouzzo, as does our presence in Latin America and the Caribbean. PROPARCO has considerable aspirations for these regions with the opening this year of an office in Mexico City. Just one year after placing all developing countries within our approved geographical scope, this zone now represent 27% of annual commitments. In regions still considered too risky by investors, we have yet again successfully countered the trends. 2010 has also been marked by an exceptional level of equity investments. With an historic 200 million Euros – a 123% rise compared to 2009 – PROPARCO has returned to its founding principles established 33 years ago, that of providing long-term, ongoing development assistance to Southern entrepreneurs.

In addition to financing commitments, what have been the sectors and types of projects financed by PROPARCO in 2010?

Every project that is financed must meet three requirements that are at the heart of our corporate mission: stimulate job creation, provide basic services to the most needy, and promote sustainable development. Thus, in Africa, we have supported various projects, be they related to transport, telecommunications or microfinance. For example, we financed the Port of Dakar expansion in Senegal, improvements to and the extension of the mobile phone network in Chad, the development of local and regional agricultural sectors, and also several investment funds specializing in SME financing and infrastructure. In line with our mandate in Latin America and the Caribbean and in Asia, we have focused efforts on promoting green and inclusive growth.

In particular, we have supported renewable energy production by financing a wind farm in Mexico and the extension of a geothermal power station in Nicaragua. Finally, in an effort to enhance its reach and influence, PROPARCO has actively supported banks and investment funds.

What has been the main impact of these projects?

The projects financed and cofinanced by PROPARCO in 2010 will enable the creation or maintaining of 285,000 direct or indirect jobs, access to microcredit for more than 300,000 people, and the connection of more than 1.7 million people to a telecommunications network. They will also enable the production of 367 MW of renewable energy and the reduction of greenhouse gas

emissions by 1.7 million teq CO2 per year. Projects financed by PROPARCO will also generate 210 million Euros per annum in fiscal revenues, which is far from negligible.

PROPARCO has enjoyed sustained growth of its business in the past 5 years. What are the challenges that lie ahead?

Two key words sum up the challenges that lie ahead: confirmation and consolidation. With more than a billion Euros committed in 2010, PROPARCO has consolidated its position acquired over the past five years as one of the leading bilateral development finance institutions in the world. Against the backdrop of the financial crisis, we have been regularly called upon to counter the reduction in resources allocated to the Southern countries, and we must now strive to maintain this current level of activity.

Exceptional growth requires us to meet a second challenge: management of a 2.1 billion Euros portfolio. We must remain attentive to the ongoing management of projects financed by our loans and more particularly by our equity investments.

We must maintain the high standard set by the men and women of PROPARCO who ensure the success of the business. It is important to highlight that the rate of bad debt has dropped to a record low of 1.6% at the end of 2010.

Yet another challenge appeared at the end of last year. The situation created in the Mediterranean zone as a result of the Arab Spring will force PROPARCO to rethink its business strategy in order to better assist the development of counties in this region, which remains one of our priorities.

As one of the world’s leading bilateral development finance institutions, what are PROPARCO’s prospects for 2011?

2011 will be marked by the consolidation of our partnerships with both European and global development finance institutions. We must remain focused on our mission to catalyse private investment in support of developing nations.

Increasing alignment of financial procedures will generate new co-financing opportunities with partners in the Southern countries and enable us to maintain the current level of financial commitments. Moreover, in 2011 we shall begin to assess sectors previously overlooked by investors and thus expand and reinforce our scope of activity based on the principle of additionality.

I am confident in the ability of PROPARCO’s teams to constantly look for new markets and to continue to support the private sector in the Southern countries, therefore proving that long term investment in sustainable development in developing countries can be both beneficial and financially rewarding.

A North – South Investment community In a multi-polar and multi-stakeholder world, the North-South, public-private governance of PROPARCO is well adapted to assist private investment as a vector for development.

PROPARCO differs from its European counterparts through its governance. It resembles a North-South investment community made up of thirty public and private shareholders who are committed long term to development.

Amode unique of

governance.

The Agence Française de Développement, a public institution implementing French development and cooperation policy is the main shareholder (59% of capital). PROPARCO benefits from its supports in terms of human resources, financial backing, commercial network and geographical presence.

External shareholders, businesses, banks and European and African financial institutions bring to the table a decisive expertise in the domain of strategic management and governance (41% of capital).

This enlarged community has been meeting for the past two years at PROPARCO’s Investment Club, a crossroads for meeting, exchanging and reflecting on tomorrow’s challenges for the private sector in the Southern economies.

A stable and committed investor in the South PROPARCO invests and catalyses private investment in emerging and developing countries in favour of growth, sustainable development and the Millennium Development Goals.

More than thirty years ago, PROPARCO was born out of the belief that the private sector is a major player in development. As a driver for growth and job creation, said sector can generate resources thereby enabling States to play their role of regulation and redistribution of wealth. Complimentary to the public sector, it also assists in the provision of essential services. Finally, the private sector is at the heart of social and environmental issues and thus becomes itself the object of global public policy. PROPARCO encourages private sector investment in emerging and developing countries along three guidelines: stimulate and sustain job creation; p rovide viable access to basic services such as energy, water, transport, health, education, microfinance or telecommunications; inspire the highest social and environmental standards.

As a development finance institution dedicated to the private sector and subsidiary of the Agence Française de Développement, PROPARCO enjoys unique governance within its field, bringing together thirty or so shareholders, both private and public from North and South.

Projects financed by PROPARCO are first and foremost selected for

their impact on development. To this prerequisite is added a positive constraint to ensure their sustainability: the project’s economic viability and profitability. The projects are concentrated in four main sectors: development of businesses, banks, sustainable infrastructure and the fight against global warming.

PROPARCO invests in four continents ranging from large emerging countries to the poorest countries, in regions, sectors or entrepreneurial projects deemed too risky by commercial banks. It therefore fully plays out its role of countering the trends within the subsidiarity principles that guide its finances. PROPARCO sustainably accompanies its clients by proposing a full range of long term financial tools best adapted to the specific needs of investors in these regions (loans, guarantees and equity investments).

2010 has been another growth year for PROPARCO. Its investments have reached a record level of € 950M with a net result of € 18M. It is also an historic year which confirms the priority given to sub-Saharan Africa where PROPARCO has provided a without precedent level of support of € 420M in investment which makes it the leading bilateral financial partner in the region.

Projects are concentrated on

four priority sectors.

AFD: Promote development A PUBLIC INSTITUTION, AGENCE FRANÇAISE DE DÉVELOPPEMENT HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL FOR THE PAST SEVENTY YEARS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST POVERTY AND THE PROMOTION OF DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTHERN COUNTRIES AND THE OVERSEAS TERRITORIES. The Agence Française de Développement (AFD) implements French government policy.

Present on the ground in more than 50 countries and 9 Overseas territories, the AFD finances and supports projects which improve local population living conditions, encourage economic growth and protect the planet. These include schooling, maternal health, agriculture and local businesses, water supply, infrastructure development, biodiversity conservation, the fight against global warming...

In addition to an impressive range of financial products, the AFD also proposes training materials, analysis and evaluation methods to its partners.

Sub-Saharan Africa is the Agency’s main area of presence. It is also strongly present in the Mediterranean and the Middle East, in Asia and the Pacific Rim, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Fragile States each benefit from a specific action plan.

In 2010, the AFD spent more than €6.8 billion in specific actions in developing countries and in the Overseas territories. Projects financed notably contributed to the primary schooling of 13.4 million children, the improvement in water supply for 33 million people and the granting of microcredit to just over 700,000 people. Energy efficiency projects in the same year will enable the reduction of nearly 5 million tons of CO 2 per annum.

In 2010, the AFD spent more than € 6.8 billion in favour of development.

Peru / Mibanco

Finance the development of Peruvian very small businesses Peru has weathered the 2009 economic and financial crisis.

The resilience of the Peruvian economy was made possible by a strong macroeconomic position, based upon buoyant domestic demand and sustained investments in key sectors. Peru's growth is largely dependent on the health of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). They alone account for 85% of the workforce and contribute 42% of GDP. Mibanco is the first Peruvian commercial bank specializing in microfinance. Small and microentrepreneurs account for 64% of its portfolio.

About a quarter of the loans granted by the bank are for an amount less than US$330.

PROPARCO was requested by the InterAmerican Development Bank (IDB) to finance

MIBANCO SPOKESPERSON

a long-term loan of US$20 million dedicated to the development of Mibanco’s microcredit portfolio. PROPARCO’s funds will thus be used to finance the growth of all products dedicated to the segment of Very Small Enterprises (VSE) and unit amounts below US$30,000.

Through this first partnership with the intermediary Mibanco, PROPARCO manages to meet the needs of small businesses in the country, true foundation of the Peruvian economy.

"Supporting a responsible lender."

“We will build more than 100,000 micro-entrepreneurs by 2014.”

CFO of Mibanco "The intervention of PROPARCO alongside the InterAmerican Development Bank, has enabled us to continue to strengthen our policy of banking services and to include new customers in the Peruvian financial system, through responsible lending to microentrepreneurs and small businesses. The loan denominated in national currency, the first of its kind for a Peruvian microfinance institution, has allowed us to eliminate exchange rate risk because most microcredit are in turn lent in local currency. In addition, funds received will support the establishment of a national training programme for women entrepreneurs. This programme is unique in the region and will create more than 100,000 micro-entrepreneurs by 2014."

Maria Peña, Investment Officer specialized in banks and capital markets at PROPARCO

“The IDB has invited us to participate in the setting up of a long-term local currency credit line to support Mibanco development activity, flagship institution of microcredit in the region. Thus through the syndicated loan by the IDB (US$36M) from Dexia Micro-Credit Fund, Calvert Foundation and Oikocredit, which was added to PROPARCO’s funding has enabled Mibanco to successfully raise the equivalent of US$45M in local currency. In 10 years, Mibanco has become the leading institution

19

for microfinance in Peru with a business model closely followed by competition. Besides its profitability and prudent management, Mibanco is a responsible lender that contributes to the development of productive forces in Peru. It was therefore in our interest to support its growth.

This operation was also an opportunity to strengthen ties between PROPARCO and the IDB Group in cooperation activities in Latin America."

Social and Environmental responsability Manage THE RISKS AND IMPROVE THE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE OF PROPARCO’S CORPORATE CLIENTS. In May 2009, PROPARCO signed the "Principles for Responsible Financing� common among European Development Finance Institutions. These principles state that the investment should have a positive impact on local communities, including respect for human rights and the environment and that these financial institutions shall: Ensure compliance with local regulations of any operations financed and encourage the application of international norms and standards in their investments and also in those of their sub-contractors; Ensure that clients mitigate and compensate any negative social and environmental impact; Encourage clients and their stakeholders to engage in dialogue to improve the management of their social and environmental investments; Provide transparent and accountable information on all activities funded.

In 2010 PROPARCO created its own Environmental and Social Impacts Unit - ESIU. It is responsible for meeting the objectives mentioned above, through: The definition of environmental and social due diligence to be undertaken in the projects; The support given to project teams to achieve this throughout the project life cycle; The development of partnerships with other donors.

Thus for example, PROPARCO will assist some bank customers in the implementation of management systems for social and environmental risks within their portfolios or help companies in certification processes (ISO 14001, FSC) for the financing of their forest plantations.

Measuring impact SELECTING PROJECTS, EVALUATION THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFE CYCLE AND IMPROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF proparco's ACTIONS. PROPARCO attempts to measure the expected impacts of projects prior to the funding decision. This approach is based on a tool common to several European Development Finance Institutions. Included in these evaluation criteria are the current government revenue, the net inflow of foreign exchange, job creation, technology transfer and know-how, social effects and compliance with norms and standards on environmental matters.

To develop a global vision of the impact of its financing, PROPARCO publishes a series of indicators per sector, in common with the Agence Française de Développement (AFD).

They show the expected development results of projects authorized in the year. Today PROPARCO wishes to extend this principle of evaluation to each stage of the project life-cycle from the project appraisal to the evaluation of results of operations financed. This involves setting up the monitoring of projects within the portfolio by extending the use of these tools and also conducting specific studies in the field several years after the implementation of the project. These ex post studies will build on experience and actions taken in order to improve practice.

Methodological Footnote Impact indicators reflect the outcome of each project. Assessed ex ante, during project's appraisal and based on the results it should generate, these indicators are part of an overall contribution to development. Thus, the resources made available by PROPARCO which lead to the anticipated impacts are not the only ones to be taken into account: the possible involvement of other financiers and funding companies also contribute to the results presented.

Building capacity UNITE FUNDING AND TECHNICAL assistance TO CONCILIATE RETURN ON INVESTMENT AND THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS. The Investment and Support Fund for Businesses in Africa (FISEA) managed by PROPARCO, earmarks € 5M in grants to supplement funding provided through technical assistance to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). In 2010, these additional resources have enabled African SMEs to increase their performance while developing innovative solutions that foster development. This complementary support has for example enabled the establishment of a system for recovering rainwater in a flower farm in Kenya, developing a marketing plan for a microinsurance company for people living with HIV in South Africa and improving information systems for a company providing financing and support services to small businesses in seven African countries.

PROPARCO also assists the private sector in compliance with international standards to combat money laundering. Mobilizing resources from the Agence Française de Développement (Fund for capacity building of governance of a total of € 1.5M), PROPARCO has enabled improvement in procedures for three financial institutions in Africa.

Finally, PROPARCO’s technical assistance staff provide financial support in the complex area of the fight against climate change. In particular, solutions are brought to the operational teams to assist the success of carbon finance projects.

PROPARCO SPOKESPERSON

“Sustain accountable business models.”

Cyril Renault

in charge of Technical assistance “This activity supporting capacity development was begun at PROPARCO in 2008 within the FISEA framework and in support of its growth strategy and the Millennium Development Goals in Africa. The provision of subsidies coupled with accompanying investment makes it possible to encourage private operators to sustain accountable business models and strong developmental impact. This resulted in initial operations back in 2009 being so successful that PROPARCO continues to expand its activities in 2011, particularly in the areas of the fight against poverty, access to energy and preservation of the environment.”

These resources have enabled African SMEs

to increase productivity.

Encourage the development of microinsurance offer To date, only 5% of low-income persons in developing countries enjoy social security coverage or health insurance. And yet, health insurance needs are considerable.

LeapFrog Financial Inclusion Fund is the only investment fund specialised in microinsurance in sub-Saharan Africa. FISEA contributes up to €5M to this fund to enable it to increase its range.

In addition to this equity stake, FISEA technical assistance has granted LeapFrog Labs an additional €250,000 subsidy. This support has in turn enabled it to further underwrite the capacity of companies within its portfolio and to provide more efficient support to its microinsurance activities (create, extend, diversify).

KENYA / Bigot Flower s

Sustain production of Fair Trade labelled roses Cut flowers are the most dynamic agricultural sector in the country.

Among the leading job creators, the cut flower sector plays a key role in the economic development of this country.

Groupe Bigot is a French family business with a long standing experience in the cut flower sector, particularly roses and tulips.

Facing increased competition from East Africa roses, the group decided to create a rose farm in Kenya and to maintain tulip production in France.

Since then, Bigot Flowers has developed an exemplary business in Kenya both in environmental and social development and recently obtained the Max Havelaar Fair Trade label. Greenhouse gas emissions related to the production and import of Kenyan roses

are six times less than equivalent emissions in European production.

FISEA’s €2.5M equity stake in Groupe Bigot is intended to accompany this innovative approach via an investment programme.

Bigot Flowers has thus been able to purchase land and to replace 27 hectares of obsolete greenhouses with optimum production equipment thereby enabling a 20% increase in productivity. A complimentary subsidy has provided technical support for a rainwater collecting system.

“An exemplary project.”

David Fardel

Lawyer at PROPARCO “This project, identified by our Nairobi office, was considered too risky for traditional investors given its positioning in a market highly sensitive to both price variants and sales volumes. In fact, this investment corresponded to several of FISEA’s key priorities for its long term economic fabric development strategy towards SME/VSEs in sub-Saharan Africa. For this complex project, in addition to the financial solutions brought

by FISEA, PROPARCO provided both legal and technical assistance. This project is exemplary both in social added value and development."

BIGOT FLEURS SPOKESPERSON

“Today we employ 1,000 people in Kenya.”

Jean-Philippe Bigot, Director, Bigot Fleurs Groupe

“All of our rose production is now in Kenya and there, our profit has multiplied by four. Our cultivation in Le Mans is now specialised in tulip production and there, our turnover has multiplied by 2.5. Prior to 2000, we used to employ 30 workers. We now employ 100 people in France and 1,000 people in Kenya. Going international enabled us to save our French business.

25

We rigorously respect our workers’ rights both in France and in Kenya: health care and access to drinking water is free and the rose workers are paid twice as much as the minimum wage in their country. The Max Havelaar Fair Trade label allowed all workers to enjoy a 10% bonus. In Kenya this amount has enabled the construction of a village. I know no NGO able to offer similar conditions to 1,000 Kenyans.”

A priority: accompany the emergence of sub-Saharan Africa PROPARCO CONCENTRATES ITS EFFORTS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA IN ORDER TO ENCOURAGE STRONG, lasting AND JOB CREATING GROWTH. After a slowing down due to the global economic crisis, Africa in 2010 once again showed a high growth rate of nearly 5%. This dynamic structural rebound is due to the exceptional population growth, accelerated urbanisation and a tremendous demographic dividend. The emergence of an internal market is driving for development on the continent. Nevertheless, there are risks and challenges to sustainable and well balanced growth. The global crisis has delayed reaching the Millennium Development Goals, poor infrastructure limits the impact of growth and almost 245 millions young people will arrive on the job market in 2025.

SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA

Contribute to the funding of infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa In sub-Saharan Africa, infrastructure providing access to basic services is estimated to have a deficit of US$35 billion.

The African Infrastructure Investment Fund II (AIIF) is one of the rare investment funds specialising in infrastructure projet financing on the continent. Its vocation is to concentrate on the construction of roads, airports, ports, railways as well as on the production and distribution of electricity.

PROPARCO and the AFD have provided US$30M in the first round of this fund, along with the International Finance Corporation, the African Development Bank, Macquarie Group, Old Mutual and other investors. Between ten and fifteen projects will be financed for an amount of up to US$65M to enable energy and transport access to both the population and businesses.

Sub-Saharan Africa is PROPARCO’s key priority and it continues to support economic growth. In the region, PROPARCO underwrites key activities which support lasting growth: s upply of basic services, access to energy, telecommunications, transport, b usiness funding, support to local entrepreneurs, s upport for banking and financial intermediation, promotion of norms meeting international social and environmental standards.

In 2010, PROPARCO provided unprecedented support to the private sector in sub-Saharan Africa by investing € 420M, that is 45% of its annual funding. Since 2009, PROPARCO’s activity has seen a 60% increase in this region.

In 2010 these funds have provided support to various projects in the transport, telecommunications, agro-industry, banking and microfinance sectors. This year was particularly notable for the re-launch of activities in Western Africa and the re-opening of an office in Abidjan covering the whole of the region.

In 2010, PROPARCO invested

€66M in West

Africa.

FISEA, truly involved and investing side by side with African businesses Created in Paris in April 2009, FISEA is an investment fund owned by AFD and managed by PROPARCO. This fund makes equity investments in businesses, banks, microfinance institutions and investment funds in subSaharan Africa. Having invested €48M in 2010, the fund is one of the major elements of French initiative to support economic growth and job creation in Africa.

This year, FISEA is concentrating its efforts on SMEs (29%), agro-industry (29%), microfinance (21%) and health care (7%). Indeed, FISEA has invested in 6 Investment Funds in 2010. This funding has enabled these Funds to invest in 60 businesses and thus to contribute to the development of 18,000 jobs.

The main challenge in this region is to stimulate growth and create jobs to meet the rapid increase of a very young population. More than 100 million jobs need to be created in the next twenty years.

In this context, PROPARO’s first objective is to provide support for the development of SMEs and to large industrial

groups in sectors which create jobs. To facilitate both development and access to credit, PROPARCO directly invests capital in businesses, financial institutions and investment funds managed by local teams. In 2010, out of its portfolio of €137M, €88M were invested to support financial institutions in the region and €32M in investment funds.

In 2010, PROPARCO became an established capital partner for large Mediterranean operators such as Byblos Bank, BMCE or the Tunisian pharmaceutical laboratory Unimed.

Its support for capital investment has a double benefit: PROPARCO supports a large number of businesses in a wider and more risky range of industries, while also providing support for governance. PROPARCO also supports large banks and their subsidiaries by proposing longer maturities and a wide range of credit lines. The launch of the Averroès II investment fund in 2010 and its equity in several funds will develop sustained capital investment activity.

Turkey

Favour renewable energy development In Turkey, increase in energy demand is one of the greatest in the world. The energy deficit today menaces the growth perspectives of this country and accentuates the need to reinforce actual production capacity. The potential for renewable energy is high yet barely exploited.

PROPARCO supports Belen Elektrik Üretim A.S in the construction and running of a wind farm with a capacity of 30 MW. A senior loan of €11.5M from PROPARCO along with funds from other banks will enable the financing of increased energy production in Turkey, reduce hydrocarbon imports and avoid emissions estimated at 60,000 teq CO 2 per annum.

Working for green and inclusive growth in Latin America and the Caribbean 2010 SEES THE INAUGURATION OF PROPARCO’S STRONG COMMITMENT TO ALL LATIN AMERICAN AND CARIBBEAN COUNTRIES. In a region still deemed too risky by investors, where funding tenors in certain countries do not exceed one year, PROPARCO provides long term resources to private partners. As in Asia, PROPARCO’s funding in Latin America and the Caribbean aims for green and inclusive growth balance by combining environmental balance and reducing inequalities.

With €256M invested, the year 2010 symbolises of PROPARCO’s strong commitment to Latin America and the Caribbean. More than a year after extending its area of intervention to all developing and emerging countries, PROPARCO has most notably financed projects in Nicaragua, Peru, Jamaica and Mexico. The opening of an office in Mexico City in 2011 covering Central America and Mexico continues PROPARCO’s strategy of staying close to its clients.

PROPARCO funding has focused on the energy sector with the aim of supporting broad and sustainable access to energy as well as the development of renewable energy production. For example, PROPARCO has financed the extension of a geothermal plant in Nicaragua, the construction of a wind farm in Mexico and the development of an electricity company in Jamaica.

In addition, by providing long term resources to banks, PROPARCO supports their development and enables access to credit and therefore funding of innovative projects, for example in the fight against climate change.

Improving energy efficiency in Asia IN ASIA, PROPARCO CONCENTRATES ITS EFFORTS ON FOUR PRIORITY SECTORS: CLIMATE CHANGE, education and healthcare, AGRO-INDUSTRY AND MICROFINANCE. In Asia, 2009 saw the withdrawal of banks and subsequent refinancing difficulties. In contrast, in 2010 China and India have led the way out of the crisis followed by most of the Asian countries.

The return of liquidity has enabled the large local banks to once again play their role as economic financier.

In this context PROPARCO, which countered the trend back in 2009, has been less in demand and has therefore been able to concentrate on its core mission in the region by investing almost € 123M. In the other large emerging nations, as in the rest of the continent, PROPARCO’s funding aims to encourage green and inclusive growth and is concentrated on: the fight against climate change, social sectors: higher education and health, agro-industry, microfinance.

In priority Asian countries, ie, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, PROPARCO supports growth and employment. In particular, PROPARCO has provided US$15M funding to the development of a container terminus and has provided several credit lines to financial institutions for the development and financing of investment in the clean energy sector in Vietnam.

In the context of a post-conflict mandate and via a credit line, PROPARCO has also participated in the reconstruction effort and economic recovery in Sri Lanka.

As of 2011, two new sectors are eligible for PROPARCO funding in Asia: water & sanitation and sustainable tourism.

Senegal / Dakar Por t Authorit y

Participate in the development of the Port of Dakar PORT OF DAKAR SPOKESPERSON

DAKAR IS THE THIRD largest PORT IN WEST AFRICA. The Port of Dakar is both the entry and exit point for the country’s trade and is a potential contact point with the major shipping routes of the Atlantic. Dakar is the third largest port in West Africa behind Abidjan and Lagos and plays an important regional role, particularly for Mali.

Modernisation and development of the Port of Dakar began back in 2006 with the concession, rehabilitation, extension and operation of the container terminal. The operation and the investments needed were consigned by contract to Dubaï Port World Dakar, a subsidiary of Dubaï Port World (DPW), the fourth global operator of container terminals. The project consisted of developing traffic capacity and the storage of containers for import/export but also to increase transhipment activities.

PROPARCO was contacted to finance the

extension of the container terminal for the North zone of the Port of Dakar in collaboration with other financial institutions and commercial banks. PROPARCO thus granted a direct loan of more than € 16M to DPW for a total project cost estimated at € 200M, of which nearly half was debt.

This project will have a major impact on the country’s economy and trade. The private concession for such a project will enable the Senegalese authorities to concentrate their budgetary efforts on areas most in need, such as primary education and health.

Given the contraction of trade, commercial banks had little appetite for financing projects associated with transport of commodities. By deciding to participate in this project, PROPARCO played out our countercyclical role to the full by deciding to support major infrastructure development projects in such a context. Whilst at the same time enabling relief from

the balance constraints of commercial banks, PROPARCO’s commitment gives a strong signal regarding the economic growth potential in the region and responds to the growth of economic activity in Senegal as well as Mali where trade transits via its coastal border countries.

Finally, this project will have a major impact on the Senegalese economy because it will increase trade, create jobs and generate important fiscal revenue.”

Connect and Provide Access Sustainable ACCESS TO INFRASTRUCTURE IS A KEY FACTOR IN GROWTH AND THE FIGHT AGAINST POVERTY. ENERGY IS THE MAIN CHALLENGE TODAY, ESPECIALLY IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA. Although liquidity has returned to the markets, especially in Asia, long term finance, often essential for infrastructure projects, remains inaccessible. PROPARCO’s activity in the infrastructure sector remained constant in 2010 given that the company invested ₏ 153M, of which half was in energy related projects.

In Africa and the Mediterranean region, PROPARCO provided finance for the energy, telecommunication and transport sectors. In Latin America, the Caribbean and Asia, PROPARCO chose to concentrate its efforts on the development of renewable energy. In 2010, this was demonstrated by financing wind farms in Mexico and Turkey and the extension of a geothermal station in Nicaragua. Regarding energy access, PROPARCO, followed by other donors, initiated a substantial financing effort in favour of an electricity company in Jamaica.

Having for several years assisted mobile phone development, PROPARCO continues to support Internet development and financed a satellite project facilitating connections in remote areas of Africa.

No development without banks ENCOURAGing BANKS TO make LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS FOR BUSINESS IS A PRIORITY. THIS OBJECTIVE IS AT THE HEART OF PROPARCO’S MISSION. In Africa, PROPARCO seeks to provide more depth to the financial markets and the banking sector in order to develop the financial sector via equity stakes in local banks, long-term re-financing lines, the development of leasing, equity stakes in rating agencies, guarantees in the context of market transactions by private issuers, etc.

In emerging countries where the development of financial markets is already a reality, PROPARCO uses the banks as a vector for funding in order to obtain more overall objectives such as the fight against poverty, climate change or food safety.

In 2010, PROPARCO signed 35 projects for a total of € 521M in favour of financial institutions (banks and microfinance institutions), in the form of loans and equity stakes.

Support to microfinance institutions will enable almost

300,000 people access to microcredit.

In particular in African markets, PROPARCO’s support is crucial because it represents almost 40% of its activity. This year, PROPARCO has notably financed four projects in West Africa, including a leasing institution in Mauritania, increased capital participation in a pan-African banking group and one of its subsidiaries in Congo and also a loan to one of the leading Nigerian banks.

This year confirms the growth in equity activity with nearly € 45M of equity or reinforcement of financial institutions’ capital.

Regarding its equity in one of the leading Lebanese banks, the aim is to forge strategic partnerships with leading regional actors.

Entrepreneurs au Sud Southern Entrepreneurs BUSINESSES PLAY AN ESSENTIAL ROLE IN DEVELOPING ECONOMIES AND YET THEY HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO FINANCIAL RESOURCES. PROPARCO finances business projects which have a significant and long lasting effect on the development of countries where they take

place. PROPARCO assists all players, be they local entrepreneurs contributing to job creation or the sharing of know-how and technology, regional groups wishing to improve their governance and expand their activity or large international industrial groups keen to locate in a risky region.

In 2010, corporate funding reached â‚Ź 149M. Said funding was characterised by the support given to a new South-South deal-flow which reflects the interest of entrepreneurs for the African market and by the establishment of long term capitalistic partnerships with large French or international industrial groups.

Food safety and the growth of consumer markets (particularly in Africa) make support for the agro-industrial sector a priority.

Thus in 2010, PROPARCO financed a sugar producing company in Brazil and a French company engaged in the fight against child malnutrition in the world.

In 2010, PROPARCO also confirmed its position as a leader in the development of sustainable tourism. To incite tour operators to propose entreprising projects, PROPARCO has elaborated an innovative social and environmental strategy which applies to all projects financed in this sector.

Finally, PROPARCO has supported the development of the social sector ranging from the forestry and building materials industries in India and sub-Saharan Africa (by investing in two cement groups for example) to the modernisation of a hospital in Brazil.

Malnutrition: progress and innovation Child malnutrition affects 195 million children and causes the death of 3 million under five year olds every year. Nutriset, a French SME based in Normandy founded in 1986 has developed a range of innovative therapeutic foods such as Plumpy’ Nut. To promote access to vulnerable populations, PROPARCO has assisted Nutriset in the trans-

ferral of its production to Southern countries through a network of franchised businesses.

In addition to increased local production, this transfer is also intended to increase local agroindustrial (peanuts, sugar, oil etc.). In terms of impact, it will enable the treatment of almost 5 million children, create 750 jobs in 5 years and open three new production units per year.

holding which regroups its African subsidiary, Scancem International ANS. This project is in line with PROPARCO’s strategy of supporting the cement industry so long as it in turn contributes to the development of infrastructure and housing programmes and respects strict environmental standards.

PROPARCO subscribed to the capital increase of Scancem International ANS for an amount of US$35M as long term support for its activity in Africa.

HeidelbergCement Spokesperson

“Develop infrastructures".

Dr Bernd Scheifele

General Director of HeidelbergCement “Thanks to this partnership, HeidelbergCement has secured funding for the development of its local cement capacity in Africa. We bring to the table our long experience in the building materials industry but also our governance and policy towards ethical environmental management. The funding programme will encourage infrastructure and housing development, job creation and improvements in environmental standards."

PROPARCO Spokesperson

“Support an industry which contributes to the development of the local economy.”

Denis Sireyjol, Investment Officer specialized in corporate funding at PROPARCO

“The cement industry, highly capitalistic, requires important financial sums. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) requested our participation in the total capital increase of US$180M in the African subsidiary of HeidelbergCement. The majority of cement markets in sub-Saharan Africa suffer from limited local production which in turn requires a high level of imports, causes low competition and rising prices.

39

This situation restrains the development of small infrastructure and building programmes, vital to the high population growth of this region.

This funding follows our intention to support the cement industry so long as it in turn contributes to the development of the local economy whilst respecting strict environmental standards. ”

Equity stakes FACING REDUCED RESOURCES, BUSINESSES AND BANKS ARE LOOKING FOR ALTERNATIVE FUNDING. PROPARCO makes direct equity investments as well as indirect investments through funds.

PROPARCO’s direct and indirect equity investments reached an historic level of € 204M in 2010, a 129% increase since 2009. Sixteen direct investments occurred this year of which two were of significant value (US$30 and 35M), one in a leading Lebanese bank and the other in the African holding of an international cement manufacturer. Both these investments reflect PROPARCO’s strategy in this area: support large groups by forging capital-based alliances in local subsidiaries or holdings in order to contribute to economic development whilst at the same time promoting strict environmental, social and governance standards.

Lebanon

PROPARCO also supports capital-investment, in particular in the Mediterranean region. This activity enables it to enhance the impact of its funding by supporting a large number of companies in various sectors and by creating management teams trained to the highest level of governance. In 2010, PROPARCO invested € 120M in 19 funds which have in turn financed the development of 248 businesses.

In 2010, 60% of direct and indirect equity investments took place in sub-Saharan Africa thereby supporting key sectors for this region’s development: small and medium entreprises (SMEs), agro-industry, basic infrastructure and microfinance.

For its second year of operation, FISEA - the Investment and Support Fund for Businesses in Africa managed by PROPARCO has supported 14 high impact projects in risky regions or sectors.

These investments will, for example, improve health care services in Africa, access to microinsurance for low-income families and SME development.

Throughout the past two years, FISEA has assisted 78 businesses and created or maintained 4,658 jobs.

Equity and regional integration Lebanon today is considered as a financial platform for the region. Lebanese banks, which enjoy both depositors’ confidence and a rapidly growing marketplace, are expanding more and more, specifically in the Mediterranean zone and Africa. PROPARCO wishes to accompany this development as

a factor in regional integration by providing both alternative and long-term resources.

In 2010, PROPARCO thus invested US$30M as capital in Byblos Bank.

Such an investment helps to attract other private international players and thereby mobilise necessary capital for Byblos Bank.

Long-term loans PROPARCO IS A LONG-TERM INVESTOR. IT ADAPTS ITS LOAN OFFER TO EACH MARKET IN ORDER TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM SUPPORT TO ACCOUNTABLE PARTNERS. PROPARCO’s activity is complementary to that of local and international commercial banks. Thus,

PROPARCO occupies niche funding otherwise abandoned by the local banking system and adapts its offer to each market.

PROPARCO’s loans range from

€ 5 to 100M

for a duration of 5 to 20 years.

PROPARCO only offers long-term loans, rarely offered by local banking systems. These loans can range from € 5M to € 100M for a duration of 5 to 20 years.

Since 2007, PROPARCO benefits from a sub-participation agreement with the AFD, enabling it to significantly increase the amount of the loans it offers. In 2010, 10 projects benefitted from AFD participation.

Two projects also benefitted from a co-funding or a shared-risk strategy with other European or international financial development institutions.

PROPARCO has thus been able to develop over the past few years a range of diverse loans - senior, junior, subordinated, participative - denominated either in foreign or local currency.

INDIA

Long-term resources for renewable energy The development of renewable energy is a priority in the fight against climate change, specifically in large emerging countries such as India. This development requires long-term resources which are rarely accessible to banks and entrepreneurs. ICICI Bank, the first private Indian bank, founded as a result of a joint World Bank, Indian government and Indian industrialists initiative, owns an impressive portfolio of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. To finance these projects in the long term and in foreign currency, ICICI turned to PROPARCO who provided a dedicated credit line of €36.5M. Other than financing exemplary environmental projects, this loan will increase energy supplies and diversify the energy mix according to the Indian government objectives.

In 2010, PROPARCO offered its clients funding

in 8 different local currencies.

Reduce exchange rate risk FOR SEVERAL YEARS, PROPARCO HAS DEVELOPED LOCAL CURRENCY OFFERS TO AVOID EXCHANGE RATE RISK FOR ITS CLIENTS. Providing local currency loans enables clients to avoid exchange rate risk, sometimes impossible to manage.

PROPARCO, one of the pioneers of local currency denominated solutions in its countries of intervention, works in collaboration with other donors to deepen local currency markets. Over and above its guarantee operations, since 2007 PROPARCO has used a device

called TCX which facilitates its local currency loan offers. TCX is a multi-donor fund allowing investors to hedge the exchange rate risk instead of people on the ground. This device is heavily oriented towards activities which generate local currency revenue, notably microfinance. In 2010, thanks to TCX, PROPARCO was therefore able to make an offer in shillings to the largest microfinance institution in Kenya and in pesos to a microfinance institution in the Dominican Republic. PROPARCO also has at its disposal resources in local currency which it borrows directly from commercial banks and via the intermediary of the AFD. In 2010, PROPARCO was therefore able to offer its clients funding in CFA Francs (XAF), in Kenyan shillings (KES), in Dominican pesos (DOP), in South African Rand (ZAR) and in Peruvian nuevos soles (PEN).

chad

A loan in CFA Francs to extend mobile phone coverage Mobile phone development in Chad is one of the fastest growing in Africa. With only 19,000 land lines in Chad, 2.2Â million people have chosen the mobile phone, both for its price and ease of use. In order to assist Millicom Tchad, the leading phone operator in the country, to meet the increasing client demand, PROPARCO has participated in the financing of the extension and densification of the existing network. This CFA Francs 6 billion loan (â‚Ź9M equivalent), the first of its kind in the region, will enable Millicom to carry out the necessary investments without the risk of exchange rate fluctuation.

Between now and the end of 2011, Millicom should double the number of its subscribers and cover 30% of the country.

TUNISIA / Unimed

Facilitate access to generic medicines Support the pharmaceutical industry to sustain its international competitivity.

Tunisia is one of the only Maghreb countries to have developed a successfull pharmaceutical industry; today, it provides more than 50% of medecines to the domestic market. This industry must now continue its development by modernising, increasing its production capacity, broadening its range, innovating and seizing international opportunities. Unimed is seen as a reference in the region both for the production and commercialisation of generic medicines to international standards. It has achieved this position by constantly improving its production capacity and product quality, whilst also putting into place production processes which meet international standards, notably regarding the environment.

To assist in its development, PROPARCO

took a 34% equity stake alongside the investment fund Kantara, managed by the Amundi group. With this investment, PROPARCO has chosen to support the growth of a company developing its domestic and regional market, a company which is both innovative and environmentally conscious.

This project contributes to the structuring of a strategic sector for Tunisia and also facilitates financial access to medicines.

PROPARCO’s Spokesperson

“Support a sector ripe for development.”

Unimed Spokesperson

“Consolidate our gains."

Ridha Charfeddine

President and CEO of Unimed “PROPARCO’s equity stake alongside Kantara in Unimed is aimed at our next stage of growth, twenty years after our creation. Whilst continuing to consolidate our gains, we intend to seize all external growth opportunities in export markets and thereby apply our strategy for international development. For us, this means reinforcing our presence in North and West Africa, both of which today represent significant shares of our activity. This will enable us to position ourselves as a reference in the Maghreb region, either as a laboratory manufacturing generics under our own trade mark or as a subcontractor for large international groups. PROPARCO and Kantara’s joint intervention will consolidate our competitive advantage and specifically reinforce our policy of innovation through research and development.”

Emmanuel Haye, PROPARCO’s representative in Tunisia

“The Kantara Fund, managed by the Amundi group, made us an offer to take an equity stake in Unimed. We responded positively to this request as this operation fell in line with PROPARCO’s strategy for the Mediterranean zone: to support the pharmaceutical industry, one of the main growth sectors in Tunisia with high development impact, that is financial access to medicines and the structuring of a key sector for qualified job creation. Supporting this medium sized family business should help it to overcome several challenges: structure its governance

45

and reinforce its management teams, pursue the development of its production unit, develop the regional market. In accompanying an entrepreneur who has develop an attractive business models, PROPARCO wishes to assist him to continue the structuring of his company to ensure its sustainability and its entry onto the stock exchange. Alongside Kantara, we wish to put our commercial network to Unimed’s benefit so that it may seize all regional growth opportunities.”
