Note #1: DECL1NING RATIOS
A. U.S. Perception of the Problem
1. - Continued deterioration in the financial ratios
f17/-;:-/9 2/20/76
in the Treasury view, threaten the standing of the Bank in private capital .,
markets. Treasury staff claim· that even if these ratios have not played an
important part in investors• evaluation of Bank bonds in the past, this is
no guarantee that they wi 11 not do so in the future. Moreover, since no
outside financial analyst has any satisfactory way of determining what
absolute level is appropriate for the various ratios, particular attention
is likely to be focussed on trends in the ratios.
2. ·Most .of our discussion centered upon the ratio of 11 reserves 11
·? (i.e . . retained earnings plus the special reserve) to disbursed loans, though
other financial indicators ·(e.g. interest coverage ratio; 11 spread 11 on
lending) ~ere also mentioned in passing. The question was _initially-_ posed
as follows: what financial policy changes would be required to halt the
dec] ine .in the 11 reserve11 ratio and restore it to the level prevai 1 ing at
the end of FY75 (i.e. 17.9%)? Bushnell was particularly concerned with
identifying measures which would result in the earliest possible reversal
of the downward trend. Cooper seemed more interested in policy changes
which would lead to a levelling off in the 11 reserve 11 ratio. He would not
be pinned down as to what target level might be desirable (he said
11 somewhere between 5% and 20%), though he indicated an interest in policy
packages which would maintain the 11 reserve 11 ratio at various levels
between 10% and 14%.

B. Analysis of the Problem
3. The first point to make about the Treasury position is that the
ratio chosen to illustrate their case is unlikely to be regarded as
critical by the rating services or private investors--at least not as a
measure of the security of Bank obligations. An analyst concerned about
the ult~mate security of Bank bonds would presumably look first to the
callable capital. If the callable capital of countries considered
"relevant" by the analyst were to be greater than the Bank's funded debt,
then that fact alone could well take care of the problem. It is true, of
course, that the degree of protection afforded by callable capital has
been declining over the last several years using almost any definition of
"relevant" countries. Hence, even if the analyst were satisfied with the
present position, he might reasonably question whether a continuation of
recent trends could not lead to an unsatisfactory situation in future years.
But the recent trend cannot continue indefinitely for the simple reason
that the Bank's Articles of Agreement would not permit it. , ~nless ~me~ded~
Article I I I, Section 3 implies that the Bank's funded debt may not exceed
its total callable capital except in so far as it is used to finance liquid
holdings.!! This impli_cit limit on funded debt is unaffected by the size
of undisbursed commitments or by the possibility of defaults on IBRD loans . •
4. Thus, the rating services or private investors would have
grounds for questioning the security of Bank bonds only if they feared
that the Articles might be amended or if they doubted the value of a
substantial part of the Bank's total callable ·capital. It would _not be

surprising to encounter fairly serious doubts on the latter point. But the
way of dea 1 i ng with these doubts is not by increasing the Bank's •.•reserve••
ratio. Whether that ratio is 8% or 18% has only a minimal effect on the
risk which bondholders face under the Bank's present Articles.lf A more
a ;:iprop ri a t e V·Jay· of a 11.;:y ing fears about the quality of callable capital
would be to increase the total of callable capital. This is what was done
in 1960 when the Bank was approaching the point at which its funde d debt
would exceed the U.S. callable capital. Such action need not involve
additional paid-in capital.
5. The real significance of the 11 reserve 11 ratio, therefore, is not
that it may be used by the rating services or private investors to ga uge
the security of Bank bonds. To the extent the ratio has any significance
'~·at all, it is in relation to the possibility of a call on shareholders• . .,;
unpaid capital subscriptio~s . If a significant part of 11 reserves 11 were to
be Jost through defaults or to be perceived as being comprom ised through
reschedulings, then the Bank's borrowing program could be adversely affected.
This in turn could provoke a liquidity crisis which might f6rce ~call on
callable capital. While such a scenario is obviously something the share-
holders are anxious to avoid, it could be a matter of concern to bondholders
as well since it could pose thre~t to the marketability of Bank bonds . •
1/ With an 8% ratio, disbursed loans and liquid holdings wi 11 always be at least 2.9 times that part of funded debt which is not covered by 11 relevant 11 callable capital; with ari 18% ratio, the minimum coverage increases to 3.2 times. These figures assume that 70% of to~al callable capital is considered 11 relevant. 11 ~

6. That the Treasury team should single out the 11 reserve•i ratio as
a barometer of the Bank's standing in ~he private capital markets would
seem to reflect either a misunderstanding of the Bank's financial position
(especially, the significance of its callable capital as a source of
security to investors) or at least a very incomplete statement of how their
concerns might be expected to operate in practice. In our final meeting on
February 19th, Bushnell seemed to be shifting his ground somewhat and basing
his concern about the 11 reserve 11 ratio on the need to protect the U.S. from Urtf.
a call on its unpaid subscription. ~
Appropriate Level of 11 Reserve 11 Target
.7. The ability of the Bank to avoid a call on callable capital
f~ ., ..... t'. /( -~~ 1)/. ~ ., ~
arising from loan defaults or reschedulings was explicitly considered in .At
the Capital St[ucture paper (paras. 58-62). The conclusion reached was ·";<
• ;I t~at 11·usable equity equal to 4%-8% of the Bank's disbursed loans--2.5%
to 5% being related to adverse economic or financial developments and
1.5% to 3% as allowance for political risk- ·-<..,ught to be sufficient
protection against losses on loans. 11 The analysis in the Capital Structure
paper did not consider the possibility that partial loss (or compromise) of
11 reserves 11 could damage the Bank 1 s borrowing ability and provoke a
liquidity crisis. This scenario is one of several which is to be examined
in th•e 11Sources and Appl ications 11• study, currently scheduled for completion
in Apri 1. Until this study is completed, it would be premature to say
whether this particular form of liquidity risk can best be dealt with by
increasing the level of usable equity, or increasing liquid holdihgs or by
following some other course of action.
8. Abstracting from the liquidity risk, a level of usable equity
equal to 8% of disbursed loans would appear to be quite sufficient. If
•
- 5 -
the liquidity risk were to be met by increasing the level of usable equity,
then a much higher figure could be justified. Could -the Bank conti~ue to
borrow if half (but no more than half) of its usable eq~ity were lost (or
compromised)? If so, then usable equity equal to 16% of disbur~ed loans
could be defended as a target. The implications of any particular usable
equity target for the "reserve•• target w i 1 1 obviously depend on the existing
levels of reserves and paid-in capital as we 11 as the prospects for additional
usable paid-in . 1 1 I cap1 ta .- The u.s. team would 1 ike us to assume no further
receipts of usable paid-in capita 1 . Operating on this assumptions, the
following table expresses the presently projected level of usable paid-in
capital (~fter the Selective Increase) as a proportion of disbursed loans
for various lending programs: /::-
Usable Paid-In Capit a l/Disbursed Loans
FY80 FY85 FY90
Current Projection 12.5% 6.5% 4.3%
Program "D" 12.5% 7.9% 7. 1%
$5000 m per annum 13.0% 8.3% 7 .·0%
These figures can easily be used to establish a "reserve" target once the
target for total usable equity is set.
Attai·ni_ng ·a "Reserve" Target
9. The impact of various financial policy changes on the Bank's
"reserve" position was summarized in Item #14 given to the U.S. team. A
copy of this is attached fer ease of reference. The principal conclusions
1/ While agreeing that usable equity is a more appropriate basi~ for a target than 11 reserve s 11alone, the Treasury team has nevertheless suggested that we use a 11 rese rve 11 ratio because (assuming no more paid-in capita 1) it will be easier to keep this ratio from declining. This is hardly a sound approach to establishing the Bank's financial policies.

to be drawn from this data--which the U.S. team seemed to accept--~re the
following:
(a) the only measure which has mu~h impact in the short-run
is the cessation of IDA transfers.
(b) boosting the lending rate by .50% has an impact roughly
equivalent to eliminating half the planned growth in
commitments. (We expressed the judgment that,if forced to
choose, the developing countries were likely to
prefer the former course.)

If u target of 8~ or less \vere to be accepted, no change in current policies or lending progra~ would be required. On the contrary, IDA transfers could be increased in the next fev1 years. A target of 10% would also be consistent with the present lending progran, assuming either that IDA transfers were ~topped or the lending rate were increased by .50%. A· ... target of 12% v1ould require more severe changes. '.lith a cessation of lOA transfers, the target could be attained eith~r by increasing the le.hding rate by .75% or, if this degree of increase v1ere u:1acceptable, by adopting a smaller lending rate increase (.25%) and reducing the planned growth in lending by one-half.
,. ,.
A target of 14% is not practicable in the short-run. It would technically be possible to attain this objective only by large scale sale of loan~ from portfolio in the near futur~, a major reduction in the absolute level of commitments, or a substantial increase in the co~mitnent ·f.ee or other speci a 1 lending charges. Without resorting to neasures such as these, the earliest date a decline in the ratio ca~ be achieved is FY79 at a level of about 13.4~. · This could be done by stopping IDA transfer~, raising the lending rate by 1.0%, holding lending to a constant nonina~
, amount of $5,009 ·million per annum, short ening ~~turities on nc~ lo2~s by ~ ·2 year and grace pe~iods by 1 year, and by shifti~g to an aMortization·

The timing and relative scale of impact attributable to various~ policy measures are illustrated in the second table. A do\;mvard trend in the average ratio of "reserves" to disbursed loans \<Ji 11 only be · hal ted or reversed \~~en the marginal ratio equals or exceeds the average .. By examining the marginal ratios and in particular the action needed to raise the marginal ratios above the target, it is po~sible to isolate and compare the specific impact of various policy changes. It (s evident, for example, . that cessation of IDA transfers has the largest immediate impact. Increases in the lending rate and reduction in the planned growth of future commit-• . ments have approximately the same time profile. An increase of .SO% in the lending rate has about the same impact as cutting planned future growth in half. 1\ltering the maturities of loans or the amortization pattern only bc~in to have an impact in FY80, though they could be quite important in the later years. . ...

Se 1 ect i ve C<3p ita 1 Increase: Issues Raised by U.S. Treasury Team
Note #3: SUBSIDY ELE MENT IN IBRD LENDING RATE
A. U.S. Perception of the Problem
1. The U.S. Treasury work ing party raised questions about the
lending ra te pol icy on the grounds that it unduly subsid izes borrowers by
failing tofully recover the Bank 1 s cost of l ending operations. Thes e
unrecovered costs are, in the Treasury•s view, of two types: (a) impl icit
costs stemming from Bank shareholders• bearing interest rate and defa ult
risks that should be passed on to borrowers, as indicated by ·an in su fficient
rate of return on shareholders• equity and failure to matc h maturities of
lending and borrowing, and (b) explicit fin an cial costs, evidenced by a
11 negative spread11•
2. Specific;Jl ly, the Treasury staff argued that thP. Bank's lending
rate should be set at a level that would recover the cost of borrowed funds
administrative expenses, and the cost of ca rrying 1 iquidity. Moreover, the.
Treasury staff argued that the Bank's pres en t lending rate pol icy fails to
provide a level of net income sufficient to: (a) increase reserves at the
rate necessary to provide full protection for bondholders' and shar·eholders 1
interest; and (b) provide adequate protection for the Bank against the risk
of interest - rate changes to which it is e~posed because of the mismatch of
maturities in its lending and borrowing.l/
1/ The issue of matching the maturities of borrowing and lending is discussed in Note #2. In principle, the risk to net income of unforeseen changes in interest rates could be covered by -special
· charges to borrowers but in the discussions with the Treasury it was treated as a problem of varying maturities, not risk premiums. ; The sensitivity of the so-ca ll ed 11 full cost 11 lending rate to this risk is quantified in para 12 below.
- 2 -
• 3. The main premise of the Treasury's argument is that the paid-in
/
capital is not provided for the purpose of subsidizing borrowers. Borrowers
are indirectly subsidized by the callable capital which in effect gives them -
a high credit rating and therefore access to finance on terms (maturity and
interest rate) that they could not obtain on their own. The original purpose
of paid~in capital was to provide additional assurance to. bondholders; its
function now is to generate 11 dividends 11 to be used in transfers to IDA.
B. Analysis of the Issue
4. The Treasury position on this issue.focusses on the spread of the
lending rate over the cost of borrowing. A superfi~ial look at the Bank's
past financial performance would tend to confirm the view that the Bank is
subsidizing its borrowers, since the average lending rate on new disburse- ·
ments has been below the interest rate on new borrowing in recent years.
However, this way of looking at the Bank's lending rate may be questioned for
four major reasons:
First, it is not clear that a subsidy free lending rate
is a desirable goal for the Bank.
- Second, the Bank's lending rate is not set on the basis
of a spread over the cost of borrowings but on the basis
of a target net income that takes into account all the
factors affecting the Bank's finances.
-Third, the notional 11 full cost11 lending rate is only mar-
ginally higher- .-30 basis point.s--than the present rate.
Fourth, the spread that is most relevant to the Bank is
the return on earning assets compared to the cost of all
- 3 -
funds used; this has always been positive and is projected
to remain positive.
D~sirabil ity of~ Subsidy-Free Rate
s. Whether the Bank should pursue a policy of charging borrowers the
"full cost" of lending operations is essentially apolitical question, not
a financial one. It depends ma~nly on the willingness of the U.S. and other
Part I countries to provide development finance on a concessional basis.
This issue was addressed in the "Revie\v of IBRD/IDA Program Financial Policies"
(R74-256, December 11, 1974) under the heading of multiple lending rates .
(paras 55-66). That paper concluded that the beneifts from a redistribution
of the lending rate subsidy among borrowers by charging multiple lending
rates would not be worthwhile, since:
6.
- Only 1/6th of the subsidy benefits countries with per capita
incomei above $850.
Graduation of higher income borrowers is a more efficient
way in dealing with the problem.
Benefits to lower income borrowers would be small.
If the U.S. were to insist on a "full-cost" lending rate for all
borrowers, the diff1culties arising from the discriminatory effects of
. mult~ple rates would be reduced, but might be replaced in part by problems ·
arising f~om (a) increased fi .nancial burdens on the poorer countries and
(b) the redistributional issues associated .with transferring larger amounts
of IBRD net income to IDA.
Present Lending Rate Policy
7. The second major point to be made about a "full cost" lending
rate is that it tend to oversimplify a number of important questions about
.·
5 -
changed as a result of excessive or insufficient net income and the bui ·ld-up
in reserves is determined by the behavior of net income rather than as a
specific financial objective. The importance of setting objectives for both _
net income and reserves was pointed out in ''Review of IBRD/IDA Program and
Financial Policies 11 and back-up Note #5 to that paper (copy attached) dis-
cussed · the relationship between these pre- and post-risk targets.
11Full-Cost 11 Lending Rate
10. If, as the Treasury staff requested, the Bank were to follow a
pol icy of. charging borrowers the 11 full cost•• of Bank lending, the lending
rate would need to be set on the basis of the mtal cost of making and ser-
vicing a notional average loan. Such a loan in FY76 would be about $36
mi 11 ion and would have a 20-year final maturity including a 4-year grace
period. The expenses to be recovered under tl1 is approach would include a
proportionate share. of all administrative expenses, interest expense, the
cost of carrying liquidity and a notional charge for risk of loss.
11. In order to recover the total of these expenses from its borrowers,
the IBRD would need to obtain an average spread of its lending rate over the
cost of borrowing of about 55 basis points, i.e. to set its lending rate at
8.80% for an average cost of borrowing of 8.25%. At this rate, the present
value of net income from a notional average IBRD loan would be zero. The
following table shows the present valu~ of net income from such a loan at
different lending rates:
Notional Average IBRD Leana/ Present Value of Net Income
($000)
Lending rate of: 8.50 8.80 (540)
~/ Discount rate of 8.25%.

12. These figures make allowance for the Bank's nohmal liquidity
policy but assume that the interest rate on borrowed funds does not
change over the life of the loans. Although matching of maturities is
a reasonable assumption · for ~n individual loan within a large portfolio,
complete absence of exposure to interest rate changes would not be. If the
assumption of an 8.25% interest rate were to turn out to be wrong and
the interest rate on half of the debt used to finance the loan were
increased by 50 basis points over the entire 1 ife of the loan, the present
value of net income from the loan would be reduced by about $470,000.1/
Significance of Various 11 Spreads 11
13. . If the Bank were a for-profit institution with private
shareholders, then the Treasury's contention that the 11 negative spread11
(return on new disbursements over the average cost of new borrowing) is
a problem for the Bank might have some validity. For such an institution
this .particular spread would indicate that it was not profitable for its
shareholders as a financial intermediary. For the Bank, however, this
spread is only a rough indicator of the combined effect of its debt-equity
ratio and its lending rate policies. A negative spread simply means that
the Bank is charging its borrowers less than would be required if it were
a commercial institution.

all funds. It is this spread which must remain positive for the Bank to have
a positive net income. This spread declined from 2.77 in FY70 to 2.69 in
FY75 and is projected to decline further to .89 in FY85, at which level it
is expected to remain. The absolute size of the spread is determined by the
Bank's net income target _ relative to the scale of its operations: the spread
wi 11 increase as net income as a percent of gross income increases. For
this reason,~onclusions about the appropriate size of the spread of return
on earning assets overt~ total cost of all funds must be drawn on the
basis of ·the Bank's net income and reserves objectives, not on the spread
itself. Thus, the U.S. concern about the Bank's "negative spread" is for
the most part unwarranted since it is based on application of financial
principles appropriate for commercial institutions to the Bank and because
it focusses on "spread'' rather than income and reserves objectives.

Selective Capital Increase: Issues Raised by U.S. Treasury Team
Note #2: IBRD EXPOSURE TO INTEREST RATE INCREASES
A. U.S. Perception of the Problem
~II(<,
1. l f the Bank 1 s cost of. borrowing goes up, its net income may be
adversely affected even if the interest rate on new loans is raised simul-
taneously by the same amount. There are various ways in which this expo-
sure to loss of net income may be dealt with. The Treasury team focussed
on two points (a) the difference between the average 1 ife of loans and
average life of borrowings, and (b) the fact that borrowings to finance
disbursements under a given loan occur considerably after the loan has been
committed. They advocated that consideration be given to passing more of
the risk of interest rate fluctuations onto the borrowers either by narrow-
ing the gap between the average 1 ife of loans and funded debt or by adopting
a lending rate pol icy which would provide for periodic adjustment of the
rate during the disbursement period of each loan.
B. Analysis of the Problem
2. The impact cif an increase in interest rates on the Bank 1 s net
income may be divided into three parts: (a) the increased cost of borrowing
(which is directly proportional to the ~cale of the Bank 1 s. gross borrowings
in the year)J!; (b) the increased interest income (which is directly pro-
potional to the volume of disbursements made under loans committed after the
lending rate has been increased); and (c) the change in income from securi
tie~ (whi~h wil 1 depend upon a number of factors, including the extent of
1/ More precisely, the increase will be proportional to the volume of new borrowings outstanding. This is the same · as gross borrowings initially, but is net of repayments of new borrowings 1n later years. The same distinction applies to the volume of new loans outstanding, which is net of repayments on new loans.

realized capital losses). There wil 1 also be _a secondary impact reflecting
the cumulative reduction in retained earnings arising from the net loss in
income caused by the three primary factors. Assuming continuation of the
present lending rate pol icy, the Bank 1 s exposure to income loss wi 11 only
be lessened to the extent gross borrowings are reduced in relation to dis-
bursements under new loan commitments.
3. Matching Maturitieslf Against this background, it is easy to
appreciate how changes in the average 1 ife of loans or borrowings can affect
the Bank 1 s 11 exposure11 ~ Shortening the average 1 i fe of loans ""i 11 - other
things the same- advance reapyments and hence reduce net borrowing require-
ments in relation to any given level of commitments. Similarly, lengthening
the average life of borrowings will postpone repayments due from the Bank,
thereby lowering borrowing requirements. But it is also clear that single /
figures for the average life of loans or borrowings give a very imprecise I
measure of the Bank 1 s 11 exposure11• Any number of different repayment pro-
files will yield the same figure for average life. Each such profile will
have a different implication for the Bank 1 s borrowing requirements and· hence ·
·a 1 so a different imp 1 i cation for the Bank 1 s 11 exposure11•
4. A simple compar,ison of average lives leaves out of account a
number of other factors which also affect 11 exposure11• This point can be
d~monstrated by imagining two sets of financial projections, each with the
same figures for past and future commitments. In each case the repayment
profiles for loan commitments are the same and borrowings are arranged in
such a way as to yield the same average life of funded debt. The two pro-
jections m~y nevertheless result in very different degrees of 11 exposure11
i·f, for example, there are differences in average disbursement rates,2/

the level of net income, receipts of paid-in capital or drawings on trans-
fers to IDA.
5. To alter significantly the degree of Bank "exposure•r through
changes in the average 1 ife of new loans or new borrowings could take a
considerable period, depending on how the changes were made. Shifting
some _borrowing from a 12-year maturity to a 20- year mat~rity, for instance,
would alter the average life of funded debt and yet have no effect on Bank
"exposure" for nearly a decade to come. If, as one would expect, longer
maturities were to carry higher intere~t rates, there would be a readily
identifiable cost to obtaining a reduction in "exposure" . .!/ ·The financ ·ial
cost to the Bank of shortening the average life of loans would normally be
less but, for any given level of commitments, it would have the effect of
reducing the Bank's net disbursements to its borrowers. In either case, it
is far from obvious that the cost of reducing_ Bank "exposure" is worth the
lower degree of risk which is thereby achieved.
6. Adjustable Lending Rate The Treasury team's second suggestion
is that the Bank's lending rate be adjusted periodically (say at 6-monthly
intervals) during the disbursement period, so that disbursements in each
period carry an interest rate which is at least as high as the cost of
borrowing during that period. Once this condition was applicable to all
loans being disbursed (which would take several years), it would mean that
an increase in the lending rate would affect not merely the disbursements
under new loans but rather total disbursements. Since total disbursements
are projected to be between 73% and 97% of gross borrowings over the next
1/ Bushnell agreed that the Bank should be willing to pay a premium for longer maturity borrowings because they postpone the costs of carrying liquidity incurred during the three years prior to maturity. A rough calculation of the premium which could be justified in this way for a shift from a 12-year to a 20-year maturity is 2 basis points.

decade (assuming the present program with the Selective Increase), the
ability to adjust the lending rate on all disbursements would give the Bank
the capacity to increase income from loans by the same amount as interest
expenses on borrowings were going up. To completely eliminate net income
variation in the year when the interest rate on borrowin~ goes up would
require an upward adjustment in the lending rate of between 1.03 and 1.37
times the increase in the (single-weighted) average cost of borrowing.l/
]. While the Treasury suggestion certainly would have the effect of
passing more of the risk of interest rate fluctuations onto the borrowers,
it would raise administrative difficulties. If the Bank were to move in
the direction of passing this risk onto borrowers, then it would be desir-
able to consider several alternative mechanisms for adjusting income from
loans. Some 1 imited degree of flexibility in the lending rate on already
disbursed loans (p~rhaps applying only to higher income borrowers) or in
the commitment charge are obvious alternatives. Each mechanism would have
rather different implications for the distribution of risk among borrowers.
Without further study in detail, it is not possible to .say which of these
alternatives is 1 ikely to be preferable.
8. Whether the Bank should move in the direction of . passing more of
the interest rate risk · onto its borrowers is an issue which wil 1 be greatly
influenced by one 1 s judgment about the 1 ikelihood of increasing interest
rates over the next several years. This in turn is closely related to the
prospects for global inflation. Cooper seemed to take th~ position that
greater flexibility in the Bank 1 s lending rate policy would only be necessary
lf This ignores the impact of interest rate changes on the return on liquid holdings.

if inflation and interest rates were to show signs of a renewed and rapid
escalation. He interpreted Item #19 (copy attached) - wnich compared a
si·mple version of the "Treasury plicy" with a simplified version of the
Bank's current pol icy- as demonstrating that "there is not m·uch in it"
if only a modest (100 basis point) rise in rates is the maximum expectation.
Bushnell interpreted the results differently and noted (correctly) that the
full impact of the "Treasury pol icy" is not felt until after 1980.

Section 3, para. 23
rrojected VS. Desired IBTID Net Income"
The Board paper cites tHo reasons v7hy tho Eank ~>eeks a substantial net income (para. 23) • . \-One is to guard against· the rlsk of income fluctua t:Lons. vie want I?IO.l cc t ed net income to be ~~275 to $300 million in FY80 in order to have a high probabiJ.ity of actually exceeding $100 million in that year. fut net income i .s also sought so that the Bank may add to retained earnings or transfer fnnds to IDA. These purposes are served only by actually realized ;net income; hence it is an evalua tion of these needs which is relevant 1n determining a desired net income for- the Pank.
The net income projected for a given year need not be the scune as the actual net income desired for addition to retained earriings or transfer to IDA. Suppose, for instance, that further analysis of tho fu.nk 1 s loan portfolio were to establish that IDRD equity -equal to 10% of loans outstanding Hould be sufficient to protect t-he Bank against the risk of loan defaults. Then the income projected on the basis of the policies propos ed in the Ibard paper ·HouJ.d, if attained, imply either 11 excessi ve" accumulation of retaine.d earnings or transfers to IDA (or othe r grants) above $100 million per annum. Qlr re sponse to such a situation should not be to lm-1er the target for projected net income - since that Hould expose tho &nk to m m1acceptable r.Lsk of net income falling below $100 million -but rather to devise ways of disposing · of "excess" net income if and when it is actually earned. Larger IDA transfers would be one way of doing this, though this is presumably not a means v;h.ich Hould have much appeal for our middle and upper income borrOi·Jers o Another alternative Hould be to contribute to an interest st:.bsidization account to help finance a Third vlindoH scheme.
While the net income shmvn in our proj cctions may be higher than 1-1hat is actually needed, the reverse situation is not permissible. If our reserve target -were to increase to 20% of loans outstanding, we 1-1ould have either .to modify the lending program or to increase the net income target above the level required as a buffer against fluctuations. In this case, hm,Iever, th8 neVI and higher: level of net
• income projected 1vould represent a goal ·He actually moan to obtain and not just a target we have set ourselves in order to avoid falling beloH $100 million o Since -Lhe proj e.cti ons clos ely appi'oxjJnatc our best estimate of what is actually expec-ted to happen in the future,Y realized net income is as likely to exceed the proj ec.tion as it is to fall short of ito If it falls short in n particular yea r, the_n the target for subsequent years Hould have to be increas_ed.. Sin1ilnrly, if actual not income exceeds the proj ect:i.on, the target for future · years may be lov1cred. ·

!i. As it happens, the to.rget for proj ccted net income which has been chosen for FY.80 ( $2 7.5 to $300 million) is app roxima tcily tho desired net income which the funk Hould need to obtain if it is to meet the 1.5%
· r~se~e target in ~8.5 and mainta~_n . a~1average IDA t1·ansfcr of $100 mllllon over the FY 76. to FY0.5 perlod.- The reconnncnde d policies produce a projected net income in FY85 of about $420 million, v.Jlri.ch is quito close to the nri.nimum which our analysis suggests as a buffer in that year (i.e. ~l~50 million) • Because the net income which is projected is also the net income which is desired, deviations from projected net income have to be made good over time. If next year, for example, 1-re were to fall short of our projected net income, the income targets for subsequent year should in principle be adjusted upHard to make
. up for this deficit in desired income. This would be so evon though the projec·ted net income target for FY80 (required as a buffer) could Hell have decreased in the inter:iJn due to a reduction in risk of fluctuation in administrative expenses or less exposure to the risk of subsequent increases in borrowing costso
5. · In swnmary", then ue may say that our assessment of potential income fluctuations establishe0 a floor for projected net inco!l1e in any given yearo If the desired .net income for that year is below the projected level, then the B:lnk vJOuld have 11 excess 11 income vrhich could be used to supplement IDA transfers or in other ways o · Under these circumstances it would not be necessary to make good the difference betvJeen actual and proj cctcd net income (unless actual net income Has not only less than projected net income but also less than desired net income)o If, 6n the other hand, desired net income is above the minimum required as a buffer, then vle vJould have to aim for the desired level and differences betHeen projected and actual net income would have to be made good over timeo
Of course, the same total of net income over the FY76~FY$) period can be earned in any nwnber of different ways. But if l~ss not income is earned in the early part of the period (i.e. up to FY80), then this Hould have to be c.omp nnso.ted for by hi[;hcr receipts in the later years when the absolute levels of net income are already projected to be uncomfortably high.

Selective Capital Increase: Issues Raised by U.S. Treasury Team
Note #4: YIELD SPREAD ON IBRD BONDS
2/20/76
This issue was not discussed at length with the Treasury
Mr. Cooper was given a copy of Mr. Rotberg 1s note on yield spreads. (A
copy of this note is attached for ease of reference.)
2. Following up on this note, Treasurer 1 s Department has undertaken
a more extensive study~ Monthly market price data now has been c611ected
for seven sets of long term World. Bank, United States Treasury and
American Telephone securities over a ten year period commencing January
1965. These data wi 11 be converted into yield spreads among the three
categories which wi 11 then be subjected to the following statistical
analysis:
(a) A detailed statistical description of the yield spreads
between the three categories. This description wi 11
include:
mean
standar~ deviation
trend line over time
graph of the time series.
(b) A multiple regression analysis will be used to d~termine
the factors which contribute to a change in the yield
spread from time to time. For this purpose the following
variables have been identified:
, ,
'. ~ ..
- 2 -
the nominal rate of interest
the relative supply of U.S. Treasury securities
and other close substitutes of World Bank bonds
the amount of outstanding World Bank obligations
in the market
the time to maturity of the issues in the yield
spread pair.
The analysis described under (a) wil 1 be performed in the week
ending February 27. The results of that study will be used to refine the
hypothesis of the multiple regression analysis outlined under (b).
