Newfunds, better rules - Overview of new financial rules and funding opportunities 2007-2013
The total undisbursed balance is UA 1,498,427of which UA 1.0 million has been committed to financing the Procurement Agent of the ZIMFUND and the balance has been committed to support other capacity building activities (Annex 3).With the utilization of this balance, there are no additional resources available to Zimbabwe in the current ADF 12 cycle. This notwithstanding, the Government has requested for technical assistance support in other areas including Public Financial Management and Public Private Partnership frameworks (Annex 4). The Bank has recently reopened a field office in Zimbabwe which has helped strengthen it’s engagement with the Government. In addition,...

Rasmala Investment Bank Ltd. Rasmala Palestine Equity Fund
The Board of Directors will recall that the Government, with the support of the International Community, had requested the African Development Bank to play a lead role in assisting and supporting Zimbabwe’s economic recovery. The Bank has supported Zimbabwe over the past two years in line with the recommendations made in the Country Brief that was approved by the Board of Directors in 2010 (ADB/BD/WP/2010/Approval). The support comprised mainly technical assistance and institutional capacity building using grant resources from Pillar III of the Fragile States Facility (FSF) (see Annex 1 for the detailed programs financed). The assistance was largely aimed...

PE/VC Partnership Agreements Study 2012-2013
The signing of the Global Political Agreement (GPA) in 2008 and the creation of the Inclusive Government provided a new beginning for Zimbabwe. Progress on the implementation of the GPA has, however, been mixed.4Some important elements have been implemented such as amendments to the Electoral Act, the appointment of independent Commissions to address Media, Human Rights and Election issues and the issuing of Print and Media Licenses (15 in 2010). Furthermore, a Land Audit Commission and a National Economic Council have been established. However, these Commissions are not fully functional because of lack of resources and clear legislative frameworks. A...

Private equity roundup — India
Notwithstanding these developments in the area of governance, a recent Summit of the Organ Troika5 on Politics, Defense and Security of the South Africa Development Corporation (SADC) held at the end of March 2011 in Zambia, noted that the implementation of the GPA has been slow. The Summit was not satisfied with the polarization of the political environment characterized by the resurgence of violence, arrests and intimidation in the country. The summit resolved, inter-alia, that there must be an immediate end to any form of action that contradicts the letter and spirit of the GPA and that all stakeholders to...

Investment Strategy Stock rally to continue as economy improves
Economic reforms implemented since the formation of the GPA have borne positive results for the economy. Real GDP grew by about 6% in 2009 and is estimated to have risen strongly to about 9.0% in 2010, reflecting strong performances in mining (47% growth) due to rising mineral and metal prices and higher agricultural output arising from higher output of tobacco, sugar, maize and cotton. Increases in agricultural output (34% growth) have historically supported manufacturing sector production (Box 1). The adoption of the multi-currency regime, along with cash budgeting, has helped to restore and maintain price stability. The currency and the...

Multilateral Development Banks: U.S. Contributions FY2000-FY2013
The manufacturing sector has always had strong linkages with the agricultural sector, with agriculture sourcing from it over half of intermediate goods, such as insecticides, stock feeds, and fertilizer, while nearly half of agricultural produce is supplied to the manufacturing sector. The performance of the two sectors has historically been closely correlated. The collapse of agricultural activities associated with the implementation of the fast track land reform program by the Government had a devastating impact on the manufacturing sector in the past decade. Between 1999 and 2008, manufacturing activities experienced a cumulative decline of 92 percent. However, the recent recovery...

Single Market Act II Together for new growth (Text with EEA relevance)
Fiscal policy, based on cash-budgeting, aims over the medium term at preserving fiscal sustainability, while allowing for some modest increase in infrastructure and social spending. Given the fiscal framework, Government finances have improved. There are, however, unresolved issues concerning ghost workers and the accounting for diamond revenues. Total revenue increased from US$933.6 million in 2009 to US$2.34 billion in 2010, underpinned by increases in income and corporate taxes. Despite the progress made on the fiscal side, difficult challenges still remain, including a rising wage bill and the limited fiscal space for infrastructure and priority social programs....

Summary of 2013 Budget Measures Policy Changes
A new Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) Board was appointed in May 2010. It was tasked with the downsizing the RBZ’s huge staff complement; restoring the RBZ’s position as the lender of last resort; and putting in place committees for monetary policy and audit. About 1,455 staff of the RBZ (75% of total staff) were retrenched in January 2011 in the largest such exercise since independence. In addition, the RBZ is disposing of its non-core assets in sectors such as mining, consistent with the RBZ Act. Identification of ten public enterprises to be restructured, commercialized and privatized. The companies include...

TECHNICAL BRIEF FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS: ACCOUNTING, FINANCIAL REPORTING & REGULATORY ( VOLUME 4)
Financial sector reforms and the adoption of a more predictable currency system spurred a recovery of the financial sector in 2009. Total deposits in the banking system rose from US$500 million in 2009 to some US$2.5 billion by December 2010. Important vulnerabilities remain6. The Banking sector is highly illiquid, with the bulk of bank lending being short term (90 days or less) with longer-term loans virtually nonexistent. Moreover, the intermediation spread is extremely high with prohibitive lending rates of as high as 30 percent and deposit rates of as low as 2 percent....

TECHNICAL BRIEF FOR INVESTMENT FUNDS: ACCOUNTING, FINANCIAL REPORTING & REGULATORY ( VOLUME 5)
The authorities have reached consensus on the way forward for a Debt Resolution Strategy with Cabinet approval of the Zimbabwe Accelerated Arrears Clearance, Debt and Development Strategy (ZAADDS) in 2010. The main components of the ZAADDS are reconciliation and validation of debt; re-engagement with creditors and the international community for the removal of the restrictive measures; negotiating for arrears clearance, new financing and comprehensive debt relief; establishment and operationalization of a Debt Management Office; and leveraging Zimbabwe’s natural resources in pursuit of debt relief and development. Bank support under Pillar III of the FSF has been instrumental in facilitating the...

THE EU ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT FUND MANAGERS DIRECTIVE: IMPACT ON NON-EU FUND MANAGERS
The Bank, IMF and World Bank participated in a Government Forum organized in March 2011 to discuss the recently approved Strategy for Arrears Clearance. A major conclusion from the workshop was the importance of reaching agreement on a Staff Monitored Program with the IMF as a critical component of the path towards arrears clearance and debt relief and a grandfathering of Zimbabwe by the IDA Executive Board if it is to benefit from the HIPC Initiative. A Technical Working Group on arrears clearance and external debt strategy comprising the Bank, World Bank, the IMF, UNCTAD and MEFMI was formed by...

PIMCO Total Return Fund
Zimbabwe continues to be among the least competitive economies in the World. According to the World Bank 2011―Doing Business Survey‖ Zimbabwe ranked 157 out of 183 countries in the world, a move up of two positions compared with the 2009 report. Its ranking however is still well below those of neighboring countries such as South Africa (34), Namibia (69), and Botswana (52) (Figure 2). The regulatory environment for infrastructure services in particular is deficient, with the institutional and legal framework for public enterprises imposing constraints on their effectiveness, autonomy, and accountability. The major concerns for the investment climate relate to...

Global market outlook Trends in real estate private equity
Despite the mixed signals, the authorities are taking steps to improve the business climate. Zimbabwe has eased business start-up by reducing registration fees and initiated a process to speed up the name search process and company and tax registration. In addition, the corporate income tax rate was reduced from 30% to 25%, the capital gains tax was lowered from 20% to 5%, and the payment of corporate income tax was simplified by allowing quarterly payment through commercial banks. Zimbabwe has also recently concluded Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreements (BIPPAs) with the Governments of South Africa and Botswana respectively. These BIPPAs are aimed at providing reciprocal security of...

U.S. Regulatory Actio n Items for Investment Advisers (2013)
Report on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Zimbabwe pointed out that notwithstanding the poor performance of the economy, Zimbabwe has made relative progress in a number of key areas such as universal primary education. Enrolment in primary schools has consistently been relatively high (with a net enrollment ratio of 91% in 2009 down from 98.5% in 2002). The rate of HIV infection has also seen an improvement with a decline from 16.1 percent in 2007 to 13.7 percent by 2009 partly on account of public awareness programs and education. However, Zimbabwe has experienced a decline in areas such as access to safe drinking water....

Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (“AIFMD”), Level 2 Measures - The Wait Is Over
In the medium term, Zimbabwe’s prospects and performance will be largely determined by political developments and key reforms aimed at improving the investment climate especially in the areas of the property rights, indigenization, and land reform, which make up the risks to the outlook. In addition, the speed and determination with which the Government addresses the issue of external indebtedness will be vital, as this will unlock critical resources required for investment in the various sectors of the economy and in infrastructure in particular....

Investment Appraisal - Principles
We have been assuming that if your income stream is Y1,Y2, your consumption stream must be the same. And if you invest, your consumption stream must be C1,C2. However, by lending or borrowing at the market rate of interest, you can choose any point on the net present value line through A (if you don’t invest), or through B (if you do invest).

Decision Rules
Although we use the term “cash flow”, the dollar values used might not be the same as the actual cash amounts. In some instances, actual ‘market prices’ do not reflect the true value of the project’s input or output.
8/30/2018 2:23:25 AM +00:00
Project and Private Benefit-Cost Analysis
To derive private cash flow, we begin by calculating overall project cash flow.The private cash flow is the cash flow on the investor’s own funds or ‘equity’.

Efficiency Benefit-Cost Analysis
Measures the economic efficiency of the project: if net benefit is positive, the project is a more efficient allocation of resources than the alternative (the world “without” the project).

Referent Group Benefit-Cost Analysis
- it is the group whose net benefits are relevant to the decision-maker who commissioned the SBCA. - all members of a social group, for example, pensioners, native peoples etc.

Consumer and Producer Surplus in Benefit-Cost Analysis
The market prices of project inputs or outputs will NOT change if: - the inputs or outputs are TRADED ie. price is determined in world markets) - the project is SMALL relative to the size of the economy in which is undertaken
8/30/2018 2:23:25 AM +00:00
Valuing Traded and Non-traded Commodities in Benefit-Cost Analysis
When we do a benefit-cost analysis, we have to value a range of commodities which are either inputs to or outputs of the project. Some of these commodities are traded (i.e. can be bought or sold on international markets) and some are non-traded (are not bought or sold in international markets but are only traded domestically).

Risk Analysis
Where the possible values could have significant impact on project’s profitability, a decision will involve taking a risk. In some situations, degree of risk can be objectively determined. Estimating probability of an event usually involves subjectivity.

The Social Discount Rate, Cost of Public Funds, and the Value of Information
The observed market rate of interest is the sum of the utility discount factor (reflecting impatience) and the utility growth factor (reflecting diminishing marginal utility of consumption).
