Guarantee Operations In September 1994, the Bank’s Executive Directors approved a pro- posal to make guarantees a mainstream instrument of Bank opera- tions. These guarantees are most likely to be used for infrastructure financing, where the demands for funding are large, political and sov- ereign risks are significant, and the need for long-maturity financing is often critical to a project’s viability. By covering some of the risks that the market is not able to bear or adequately evaluate, the Bank’s guarantee can attract new sources of finance, reduce financing costs, and extend maturities. The guarantee can be especially valuable where activities traditionally undertaken and financed by the government are being shifted to the private sector but where the government remains as a regulator or provider of inputs and a buyer of outputs. The Bank’s participation as guarantor can also facilitate the transparency of these transactions. Since the guarantee is intended to be a catalytic instrument, the Bank offers only partial guarantees, and risks are clearly shared between the Bank and private lenders. The Bank’s objective is to cover risks that it is well-positioned to bear given its credit, its experience with devel- oping countries, and its special relationships with governments. The risk-sharing may be for specific risks (the partial risk guarantee) or for part of the financing (the partial credit guarantee). A partial risk guarantee covers risks arising from nonperformance of sovereign contractual obligations or from force majeure aspects in a project. A partial credit guarantee typically extends maturities beyond what private creditors could otherwise provide, for example, by guar- anteeing late-dated repayments or by providing incentives for lenders to roll over medium-term loans.

An IDA PRG of about US$ 80 million is being considered in support of the project. Board presentation is tentatively scheduled for mid-FY11. Kenya Transport (R) Nairobi Urban Toll Road: (Private Sector) The objective is to improve traffic efficiency along the Northern Corridor in Kenya by enabling private investment within a toll road concession along the most congested urban sections of the Uhuru Highway.

is to strengthen the value chain for power generation by ending the bottlenecks in the supply chain for power generation-previously a fundamental constraint to economic growth in the country. The guar- antees will support the Power Holding Company of Nigeria’s gas sup- ply payment obligations to international and domestic oil companies which will help mobilize gas supplies for power generation. The PRGs would help to assist the Government in putting in place an appropriate framework for IPPs as well as the extent of Government support to be provided through the PRGs. IDA PRGs of US$ 400.0 were approved for the first phase of the project . Approved by the Executive Directors on 16 June 2009. Signing to be scheduled.
