Introduction

The Status of Projects in Execution (SOPE) Report for FY10 provides information on all IBRD, IDA, and trust funded projects that were active as of June 30, 2010. The World Bank has issued a SOPE Report every year as an internal communication to the Board of Executive Directors. In accordance with the Bank’s revised disclosure policy, since FY02, the SOPE Report is available to the public. The report is intended to bridge the gap in information available to the public between the Project Appraisal Document or Program Document, disclosed after the Bank approves a project, and the Implementation Completion Report, disclosed after the project closes.

In addition to the project progress description, the FY10 SOPE report1 contains project level comparisons

of disbursement estimates and actual disbursements, and a table showing the loan/credit/grant amount and disbursements to date.

1 Notes:

Amounts and Graphs for loans/credits/grants in currencies other than U.S. dollars may not match exactly due to exchange Amounts and Graphs for loans/credits/grants in currencies other than U.S. dollars may not match exactly due to exchange rate fluctuations over the life of the project.

Disbursement graphs are not included for Development Policy Operations, which provide quick-disbursing financing to support policy and institutional reforms. For these operations, funds are disbursed in one or more stages (tranches), released when the borrower complies with agreed prior actions.

Projects which are not yet effective may not have a planned disbursement schedule and thus will not include a graph.

set of multi-sector reforms and investments in selected cultural sites that are critical to preserve St. Petersburg's

position as one of Russia's top centers of culture and arts and to enable its future development as an international

cultural destination.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The reforms under the city (adjustment) component of the

project were successfully completed in 2007. As a result, the number of new small and medium enterprises

registered in St. Petersburg has been more than doubled since 2002 and far exceeded the target magnitude; the

number of private transactions for land and real estate is also nearly double the target value. The creditworthy status

of St. Petersburg continues to be confirmed by Standard & Poors, Moody's and Fitch ratings. The indicators

pertaining to the project's adjustment component will be revisited at the end of the project in 2012 during

preparation of the Implementation Completion Report. The indicator on the preservation of St. Petersburg's position

as the center of culture, which measures growth in tourism, is attributable to the investment component and remains

relevant. The city continues to attract an increasing number of tourists. The number of tourists has grown by more

than 150 percent since project approval and reached 4.6 million visitors per year. Overall this figure is stable and

didn't change in 2009 despite the influence of the global economic crisis.

(a) ensure the processing of international trade flows according to internationally acceptable practices; and (b)

increase taxpayer compliance with the Customs Code.

Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The automation and streamlining of business processes of

the Federal Customs Service was dependent on the procurement and installation of several large-scale IT systems

which required a two year extension of the closing date. The extension became effective in mid 2009 after some

delay. The delay put all procurement activities on hold in the first half of 2009 but most packages have been

procured according to schedule after the extension was agreed. Accordingly, there has been good progress towards

achievement of the development objectives during fiscal year 2010.
