CONTEXT

The objective of the panel discussion is to explore how construction risks in emerging markets and developing

economies are typically mitigated or managed. To the extent that some of these risks cannot currently be sufficiently

mitigated or managed (“gaps”), the key question to be addressed is what solutions or (financial) products could be

proposed to overcome these risks. For this panel discussion, a group of experienced professionals with diverse

backgrounds will provide their insights based on their various perspectives.

INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC

When building infrastructure in emerging markets, developers and/or contractors face a variety of risks, including

construction risks. In the context of the panel discussion, construction risks are a bundle of various individual risks

that adversely affect the construction of a project within the time frame and costs projected and at the standards

specified for the facility. For the purpose of this discussion, construction risk includes both individual events adversely

affecting the project (e.g. workplace accidents or poor geology requiring a change in construction method) as well as

uncertainties regarding construction costs and time (e.g. required quantity of concrete unknown at current design

level), as both can lead to losses for developers and/or contractors.

Moody’s rating methodology on construction risk provides a good framework for the evaluation of construction risks

for projects in emerging markets and developing economies. Moody’s identifies five key factors that jointly determine

construction risk for large infrastructure projects and can be applied to infrastructure projects in emerging markets

and developing economies.

1. Allocation of construction risks between the private sector and the public sector:

The allocation of construction risks between the private and public sectors in emerging market infrastructure projects

does not have to be significantly different from those in developed countries. The extent to which standardized and

state-of-the-art contracts are being used and reasonable risk allocations are achieved depends on the quality of the

project preparation and procurement and therefore on the capacity of both the public agency and the private

consortia involved. In practice, the human and financial capacity in these countries, especially of the public sector, is

often limited, which may lead to sub-optimal risk allocations. Projects that result from unsolicited proposals seem to

be particularly sensitive to this issue, as project developers are likely to have a substantial informational advantage of

the relevant risks over public agency officials. To the extent that certain risks cannot be effectively retained by either

party, contractors may have to rely on some external coverage. For example, although a public agency in an

emerging market may commit itself to making certain payments, the contractor may seek additional assurances

through political risk insurance to reduce counterparty risk and potentially provide certainty to debt and equity

providers.

2. Project construction complexity:

Infrastructure projects in emerging markets are not necessarily more complex than infrastructure projects in

developed countries. In fact, if anything, less complicated construction methods and technologies are typically

preferred in developing markets. Construction complexity is usually constrained by the agency and developer’s

technical capabilities, as construction methods and technologies that are beyond the agency and developer’s

capabilities will typically not be pursued. In certain regions, security issues can however complicate project

implementation and create additional risks, which cannot always be effectively mitigated.

3. Constructor/consortium experience and project readiness:

Limited public agency experience in preparation and procurement of infrastructure projects in general, and public-

private partnerships (PPPs) in particular, often leads to ill-prepared projects. To address the underlying human and

financial resource constraints, multilateral development banks and others development agencies focus on capacity

building. Furthermore, project development facilities provide the financial resources to help better prepare projects,

making it more likely that the project will ultimately be realized. Moreover, the constructor/consortium experience is a

key risk factor in projects in emerging markets. The involvement of international companies typically enhances the

consortium experience, which also means that projects in less competitive markets may not have access to the

necessary level of experience and expertise. As a result, the selected contractor(s) may have limited relevant

experience, hence exposing the project to more risks that would have been the case in a more competitive market.

4. Resilience of constructor to cost overruns:

In developed and emerging markets alike, construction projects frequently go over budget. The factors discussed

under 1 through 3 may exacerbate this issue for projects implemented in emerging markets. As is the case for

projects in developed markets, it is essential for a contractor to anticipate a certain level of cost overruns, build in a

sufficient buffer in the form of contingency and acquire insurance and other risk mitigations instruments, including

parent company guarantees, letters of credit to the special purpose vehicle (SPV), and performance bonds or bank

guarantees. To the extent that such instruments are not available and/or not enforceable, both the contractor and

procuring agency may be at risk as cost overruns will have to be absorbed somehow for construction to continue.

5. Resilience of project to construction schedule overrun:

Similarly to cost overruns, infrastructure projects in both developed and emerging markets often face delays. To

ensure a project can withstand a schedule overrun, the construction schedule must have sufficient buffer to warrant

project completion before the long stop date. Given the potential operational complexities of implementing projects in

emerging markets, additional schedule buffers may be required. Furthermore, public sector capacity constraints in

emerging markets can delay infrastructure projects, as limited capacity may hamper an agency’s ability to make or

approve design decisions, sign off on completion milestones and acceptance processes. Besides an adequate buffer

in the construction schedule, the contractor must have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations, even if revenues may

be delayed due to the project schedule overrun. The financial instruments that are available for cost overruns typically

also apply for construction schedule overruns.

These five key factors for evaluating construction risk as well as Moody’s two adjustment factors – 1) ease of

replacement of constructor and 2) amount and quality of security available to replace the constructor or mitigate

losses arising from a termination payment – demonstrate that construction risk is not just about the possibility of a

project encountering (technical or other) challenges that could lead to delays, cost overruns, or in a worst-case

scenario the cancellation of a project, but more broadly about the extent to which such risks can be either mitigated or

absorbed by the various project entities. The focus of the panel discussion will be to determine to what extent various

risk mitigation measures and existing instruments address the universe of construction risks in emerging markets,

what the gaps are and how these can be dealt with.

SESSION DESCRIPTION

Estimates of the financing gap for infrastructure in emerging markets vary widely, from nearly half a trillion USD to

more than US$1 trillion a year over the next decade. However, many of these estimates are based on extrapolations

of population and economic growth data rather than on project level data.

The World Bank has recently undertaken an exercise to understand the infrastructure financing gap from the project

perspective. Specifically, project level data on the infrastructure pipeline was collected from commercial databases as

well as from World Bank staff. Excluding Oil & Gas and Mining projects, the data suggest that the total transaction

value for projects domiciled in low and middle income countries in the pipeline amounts to roughly $USD 935 billion.

Transport and Power are the largest sectors in the infrastructure pipeline, with over $USD 480 billion and $USD 318

billion, respectively, in prospective project opportunities. The session will explore some of the dimensions of the

emerging market infrastructure pipeline. Significantly, the session will also explore some of the ways in which

insurance instruments can help manage construction and other risks to attract new private capital towards emerging

market infrastructure and bring more of the pipeline to financial closure.

3:35 - 4:00 Questions from the Floor/ Open Discussion

SESSION DESCRIPTION

Pension funds are the largest asset owner category, with global assets under management of approximately $26

trillion: they constitute a potentially important source of infrastructure funding.

But infrastructure investments represent only 1% to 1.5% on average of the overall allocation of pension monies

(excluding both municipal bonds and listed equity e.g. construction companies or utilities whose shares are quoted on

a stock exchange), with emerging and frontier markets infrastructure assets representing less than a fifth of that small

percentage. Of course, allocation to (EMDE) infrastructure may work well in some investment environments, for some

projects/assets, and for some pension funds, but not for all.

Yet, in some jurisdictions such as Canada, the Netherlands, Australia and, to a lesser extent, the United States and

the United Kingdom, ‘early adaptors’ (often the CEOs/CIOs of large public pension funds) have chosen to devote

higher-than-average allocations to EMDE infrastructure assets: to do so, they often had/have to surmount numerous

institutional hindrances, including regulatory limitations on exposure to ‘relatively risky’ and illiquid non-domestic

assets and, in some instances, reluctance from policy makers and board members (pension trustees).

Showing how some ‘best-in-class’ pension investors were able to surmount such challenges, the session will seek to

clarify why (asset-class and geographic diversification, relative risk-adjusted returns, asset-liability matching…) and

how (regulatory change, direct vs. indirect investment, capital structure…) their capital was deployed successfully into

emerging and frontier markets infrastructure assets.

We will also explore innovative ‘success stories’ including Northern Hemisphere pension investors partnering with

local (public and private, national and multilateral) players, new risk-mitigation tools and co-investment pathways in

Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa and the Asia-Pacific area, and the increasing role in that regard of engaged

pension board members – notably employee-nominated pension trustees and other influential stakeholders within the

‘pension investment ecosystem’.

Members of the audience will be invited to share actively their respective national and sectoral perspectives with the

presenters, focusing on ‘what can be done in the future’ to foster and facilitate greater pension capital deployment in

EMDE infrastructure.

2:55 - 4:00 Questions from the Floor/Open Discussion

SESSION DESCRIPTION

The complexity and sophistication of PPP transactions frequently means that considerable time and expense is

involved in preparing and finalizing PPP contracts. This has led many interested parties to ask if it is possible to

reduce the costs, and shorten the time involved in such processes by standardizing the provisions found in such

contracts. As such, a number of countries (including the United Kingdom, India and South Africa), have developed

complete standardized PPP agreements for different types of infrastructure projects.

By contrast, it is recognized that developing universally‐accepted language for every provision in a PPP agreement is

likely an unrealistic goal given the variety of PPP transactions globally and the different legal, regulatory, financial and

institutional frameworks existing in various countries. ‘Tailor‐made’ provisions are also necessary to deal with the

individual characteristics of complex PPP projects. Nonetheless, the World Bank Group (WBG) believes that there is

value in fostering greater understanding of certain important contractual provisions found in virtually every PPP

contract to promote quality and consistency in the legal documentation for PPP projects.

Against this background, the WBG published the Report on Recommended PPP Contractual Provisions, 2015 Edition

which sets out language for eight selected provisions typically encountered in PPP agreements (Force Majeure,

Material Adverse Government Action, Change in Law, Termination Payments, Refinancing, Lender Step-in Rights,

Confidentiality and Transparency as well as Dispute Resolution). Building on this 2015 version and in response to

industry feedback received on its contents, a further iteration of the Report has now been prepared in cooperation

with the international law firm of Allen & Overy LLP. Publication of this new edition is envisioned for late spring 2017.

At the same time, the Global Infrastructure Facility (GIF) – again supported by Allen & Overy LLP - is preparing

guidance to adapt the recommended contractual provisions and the drafting notes contained in the Report’s second

edition for bond financing and corporate financing. These two appendices will be published alongside the Report.

OBJECTIVES OF THE SESSION

The session to be held in the context of the GIF Advisory Council Meeting will both give an overview of the WBG’s overall initiative on Recommended PPP Contractual Provisions since its inception and discuss the objectives as well as contents of the new version of the Report. It will likewise touch upon the two appendices currently developed by the GIF and how they relate to their companion piece.

Moreover, and the publication of the Report’s second edition being imminent, the session is in particular meant to discuss ways to encourage effective application of the Report to PPP projects as well as means of collaboration between all relevant stakeholders to this end.
