IFC in FRY
• FRY’s membership of WB and IFC in May 2001 • IFC opened a field office in September 2001• IFC’s investment portfolio in former Yugoslavia was
among the top country exposures • One of the largest markets in Southern Europe • Substantial interest from foreign strategic investors• FRY is then a priority in IFC’s strategy to support
private sector development• IFC as an early investor aims at increasing
confidence to attract foreign direct investments
12
What IFC has achieved so far
• MicroFinanceBank Yugoslavia, equity investment of US$ 1 million equal to 16.6% of share capital
• Raiffeisen Bank Yugoslavia, equity investment of Euro 1 million equal to 10% of share capital
• Fresh&Co (agribusiness) Loan of Euro 7.7 million, signed November 2001, disbursed
• Tigar Rubber Company (tires) Loan of Euro 16 million and equity investment of Euro 4 million (10% of share capital in new JV with Michelin) signed March 2002
13
IFC’s role in FRY• Invest in modernization: Serbia has largely under-
utilized industrial infrastructure, mostly state or socially owned, some traditionally trade oriented
• Provide long term capital: during isolation companies have lost market share, are left cash starved, need investments but have no access to international financial markets
• Develop the local financial market: financial intermediation is still very low, interest rates are high
• Attract and provide confidence to foreign investors: in the early phase of transition, the privatization process is relatively slow and foreign investors are still prudent
• Provide technical assistance: skilled workforce is available, but modern managerial resources are limited
14
IFC’s strategy in FRY• Help to fill some of the existing gaps by delivering results
on the ground immediately, mobilizing significant resources
• Provide technical assistance to support capacity building (market focus, business plans, accounting discipline)
• Invest in commercially viable companies both private and partially private/to be privatized
• Support privatization and restructuring process• Strong client focus, provide flexible solutions for
modernization investments and working capital needs• Provide comfort to foreign investors through a
demonstration effect• Focus on the financial sector (banks), develop other
financial intermediaries (leasing, funds)• Promote the growth of local entrepreneurship and SMEs
15
Actions being taken
• Focus technical assistance on critical segments of the real sector and financial sector, increased attention on infrastructure
• New project developments under way in garment-textiles, agribusiness, mechanical industry, pharmaceuticals, distribution, tourism, banking, insurance, leasing
• Build a broad pipeline of investment opportunities in order to diversify risks
• Intensify cooperation with the Privatization Agency to help increase results on the ground
• Mobilize financial resources to local intermediaries for on-lending to SMEs
