Ensuring Necessary Public and Private Sector Skill

Issue Description Potential Impact

C4: Ensuring capacity & capability of resources

PPP projects are complex and need experts covering a wide number of areas of specialisms, covering technical, financial, commercial, social, environmental, legal as well advanced project management. These capabilities need to be build up in both the public and private sector.

•Poorly prepared projects that are not bankable•Delays and cost increments Key issues remain unresolved and therefore impedes project•Lack of investor interest•Projects that fail to meet service expectations

Development of a long term infrastructure investment market

Issue Description Potential Impact

C5: Long term private sector funding capacity

PPP projects are lumpy investments with need for long term funding sources to match the long term project cashflows. Failure to minimise these risks, such as forex risks, interest rate risk, inflation risk ,tenor risk, refinancing risk, increase bankability risks of projects.

•Lack of long term financing market will prevent project delivery•Extensive delays in reaching financial closure•Projects may become commercially unviable due to high risk margins

Developing one of the leading PPP programme

• What are the areas of focus for further development?

• What are the challenges?

Page 26: Seminar on Latest Development of the PPP Programme’ to ... · July 2012 Procurement Guidelines for PPP May 2016 VGF Guideline July 2012 Unsolicited Proposals Guideline May 2016

Process Reform Recommendations

Ref Issues Findings Recommended Solution

1 PPP Investment Target in 7th Five Year Plan

There is no systemic process for identifying PPP projects

•Separate ADP for PPP and PPP targets for infrastructure ministries (National Infrastructure Plan).

•Establish National Expressways program and other sector based PPP programs

2 Ministries and Agencies drive to implement PPPs

In some instances ownership by ministries and agencies on implementing PPP projects can be enhanced to expedite delivery

Line Ministries to include performance targets for PPPs in their APA.

3 Performancemonitoring of Ministries and Agencies

Ownership over the implementation of PPP projects can be inconsistent across ministries and agencies, leading to reduced prioritisation and lack of drive in quickly implementing projects.

PPP performance targets to be included in APA for Ministries and Agencies at all key decision points of PPP projects.

4 Multiple checkpoints and approvals by Line Ministry

From initiation to final approval a PPP project is processed by Line Ministry at least 6 times. On average each processing takes about 1.5-2 months. Leading to a total of 12 months for processing.

Revise guidelines to reduce the number of times the project is processed by LM.Appoint PPP focal points at LM to will drive projects in LM.

Process Reform Recommendations

Ref Issues Findings Recommended Solution

5 Processing of Transaction Advisor (TA) request

Transaction advisor requests are submitted after CCEA approval leading to additional time for appointment of advisors

TA appointment requests and TOR can be submitted with project proposal form to reduce processing time.

6 Time taken for feasibility completion and project development

On a number of projects the feasibility and subsequent project development has taken longer than scheduled. Some of the delays occur due to events outside agencies control, however, with proactive oversight and monitoring the time frame could be reduced.

Appoint a Project Director on all PPP projects. A reporting and monitoring framework to be created for regular feedback with provision for escalation of issues to PM Office.

7 Lengthy period for development of bid documents

Lack of in-house concession lawyer has delayed development of bid documents and also made it more difficult to reconcile documents from various TAs to form a base model document

Appointment of an in-house legal expert.

Development of model documents.

8 Poor co-ordinationin relation to Linked Projects

Bidding on projects or subsequent implementation by the selected bidder has been delayed on a number of occasions due to poor co-ordination with linked projects.

Project Director to carry out integrated planning on project including the timelines for linked projects.

Investment Climate Recommendations

Ref Issues Findings Recommended Solution

9 Tax incentives Lack of tax incentives is impeding bidder interest on PPPs.Cost of project is increasing and increasing financing challenges.

•6 tax incentives requested to NBR of which 4 processed (income tax, corporation tax, capital gains tax, royalties and know how, VAT on users and import duty)

10 PPP Structure Reduce risk transfer to private sector to encourage investment.

• Apply availability (government pays) model for core infrastructure PPPs.

•Apply User Charging (user pays) for revenue PPPs.

•Focus on public service and not revenue to government

11 Foreign exchangerate risk (forex risk)

PPP projects earn Taka revenue which creates forex risk when USD loans are raised. There are no hedging instruments to manage this risk.

Forex risks protection should be given by Government.

12 Interest rate ‘cap’ on foreign loan

Existing policies restrict foreign loans approval to certain thresholds which can be above that applicable for PPPs.

Information matrix for foreign loan approval is not consistent with PPPs.

•Give specific recognition for PPPs and their risk profiles in agreeing rate threshold.•Develop separate information matrix for PPPs

Policy Recommendations

Ref Issues Findings Recommended Solution

13 Rules PPP Guidelines were issued in 2016. Once the guidelines had been tested on live transactions they would be updated to develop the rules.

PPP Rules based on 2 years of experience of operating the guidelines.

14 O&M Policy There are no provisions to address O&M support by private sector. This is preventing O&M projects from being developed.

O&M policy to be developed

15 Single Lender Exposure

Single borrower exposure limits restrict local banking market development for PPPs –given the size of projects.

Relax single borrowing limits as PPPs have different risk profiles to corporate lending.

16 Long term financing

A deeper domestic debt market is needed at longer tenors to support the volume of PPPs being developed.

•BIFFL to develop ‘guarantee’ & ‘take out financing’ products.

•Project bonds to be explored. Zero coupon bonds benefits

17 VGF Guidelines

VGF guidelines 5 years old and needs updating in line with PPP Law and recent experience of PPPs. VGF 30% contribution portion restrictive and needs re-consideration.

•Update VGF guidelines

•Up to 40% VGF contribution to be considered.

18 TAF TAF guidelines are 5 years old and need to be updated in line with PPP Law and recent experience of PPPs. Scope to be expanded to cover projects and not program.

•Update guidelines to streamline applications of funds. Expand TA to cover PPP program.

Institutional Development Recommendations

Ref Issues Findings Recommended Solution

19 PPPA Capacityand Capability

PPP Authority are using the 2010 organogram. The resources specified are not adequate to deal with a $14bn PPP portfolio. Appointing qualified resources is also seen to be challenging.

Revised organogram for the PPPA to be set out. Procurement expert to be appointed.

PPPA HR Policy to reflect unique functions of the Authority.

20 PPP expertise within agencies

Lack of dedicated PPP resources in agencies result in loss of knowledge as people move. This delays projects, and prevents expertise form being build and retained in the organisation.

Agencies with 3 or more PPP projects must establish PPP Cells. If less than 3 than it can be decided on a case to case basis.

21 PPP expertise in Leg. & Parl.Aff.Dep

Legal vetting can take a substantial time over the procurement process.

PPP Cell to be created in Legislative & Parliamentary Affairs Division. Vetting to be conducted on standard documents.

22 PPP Cell Capacityand Capability

A number of PPP cells have been established but they are yet to be supported adequately to enable them to operate on a standalone basis.

Standard configurations and TORs should be established for PPP cells with equipment and other resource support.

23 Line Ministry PPP lead

Lack of PPP champion or focal point within ministries impedes processing of PPP projects, as there is no single point of oversight and monitoring.

Focal point to be established at ministries, at a level immediately below Secretary , with support from at least one deputy

PPP Authority contains a mix of resources from the public sector (on deputation) and private sector (contract/outsourcing). PPPA needs to build up a group of dedicated resources with robust understanding and knowledge of PPPs.

PPPA resources should be subject to a structured training programme covering different aspects of PPP development.

Deal Structuring Recommendations

Ref Issues Findings Recommended Solution

27 Investor interest and allocation of risk

In a number of PPP projects the private sector has been allocated risk that they cannot mitigate (e.g. traffic demand risk) leading to delays or failures.

Risk allocation should be duly considered. Traffic risk to be retained with government unless there is clear historical data that allows private sector to manage risk.

28 Focus on revenue generation

Real estate PPPs are primarily driven by land premium price rather than focusing on generation of economic activity. The high premium prevents the full benefit economic activity generation from being fulfilled.

Deals should be structured around timing and amount of minimum investment by private sector. Price should be considered as a floor to protect government assets.

29 Funding structure A number of projects are based on the riskier user charging PPP model. In the context of a nascent PPP market in Bangladesh this limits market appetite and therefore growth of the market.

Projects that are deemed as important should be structured on a PFI model to ensure successful closure of transactions.
