World Bank Round table on Post-2015 Development Agenda in China Beijing, China July, 2013

1. FINANCING THE POST-2015
DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK
World Bank Roundtable on Post-2015 Development
Agenda in China
Beijing – July 23, 2013
The World Bank

2. Lessons from the existing MDGs framework
• The original MDGs were articulated independently of a
financing framework (Monterrey 2002).
• In a context of fiscal consolidation, discussion of post-2015 goals
must be integrated with consideration of supporting financing.
• No quantity of financing, whether grant, concessional, or non-
concessional, can achieve the development goals without
supporting policies and a credible commitment to combating
poverty.
• Costing MDGs requires too many assumptions (WDR 2004),
and is not the objective of this exercise.

4. A two-pronged approach to supporting a
post-2015 development framework
Increase impact of available resources
Leverage additional resources
Good policies and credible institutions enhance the impact of
available resources and leverage additional resources from
both domestic and foreign sources.
Good policies and credible institutions to:

5. Parameters to consider in the post-2015
financing framework
What can developing
countries do?
What can the international
community do?
• Design targeted, evidence-
based policies and support
sound institutions
• Generate more revenues
• Ensure efficient public
spending
• Promote financial deepening
and inclusion
• Maximize the impact of ODA
• Support new development
partners
• Leverage the private sector

7. Ensure efficient public spending
Fossil fuel subsidies do not target the poor
Source: World Energy Outlook, IEA, 2011
Subsidies are an inefficient means of assisting the poor: only 8% of the $409 billion spent on
fossil-fuel subsidies in 2010 went to the poorest 20% of the population.
Fossil fuel consumption subsidies measure what developing countries spend to provide below-
cost fuel to their citizens. High-income countries offer support to energy production in the form of
tax credits or loan guarantees, which are not included in these calculations since they are
directed towards production rather than consumption of the fuel.

8. Financial sector development for growth
A thriving private sector creates opportunities for entrepreneurship and job creation
How do financial
institutions contribute to
economic growth?
Lower the cost of
financial and nonfinancial
transactions
Facilitate efforts to
reduce and trade risks

9. Financial Inclusion
Access to finance is a major constraint to growth for entrepreneurs in LICs

13. International flows to developing countries
International capital flows to developing countries dominated by foreign direct investment
Total capital inflows in 2012: USD 1,007 billion
13
Remittances, which are not part of capital inflows but are an important source of foreign currency for developing countries,
were an estimated USD 399 bn in 2012.
Inflows refer to flows from non-residents to developing countries. FDI inflows are net of disinvestments by non-residents.
Debt inflows are debt disbursements net of repayments. Official flows include bilateral and multilateral lending and are not
equivalent to ODA. Data on official capital inflows are “debt enhancing official assistance” and, thus, not the same as ODA,
which is concessional in character with a grant element.

The classification of countries is the one used in the IMF‘s World Economic Outlook. Emerging market and developing countries are those countries that
are not designated as advanced countries. Countries that are eligible for financial assistance under the IMF‘s Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust
constitute a subset of emerging market and developing countries; these countries are denoted low-income countries although eligibility is based on other
considerations in addition to income levels. Emerging market and developing countries that are not eligible for financial assistance under the Poverty
Reduction and Growth Trust are designated as emerging market countries. Fragile states are countries included in the World Bank‘s list of Fragile and
Conflict-Affected States as of early 2013.

16. Leverage the private sector: partnerships
Well-structured initiatives with a diverse range of partners help governments raise the large
sums of capital required to meet infrastructure needs and consequently spur development

18. Key Messages
• Promote targeted policies and support accountable, efficient institutions
• Mobilize domestic resources for development through:
▫ Broader tax coverage
▫ Increased taxation capacity
▫ Greater accountability
▫ Efficient public spending
▫ Natural resource revenue
▫ Deeper domestic financial sector
▫ A more vibrant private sector
• The international community must use ODA and other resources to:
▫ Leverage more private resources
▫ Deliver global public goods
▫ Draw on emerging and innovative sources of finance
• Financial instruments have different properties and comparative advantages. Selecting
the right combination of instruments to meet a given goal, in a given country context,
might be one of the most important tasks ahead to enable full implementation of the next
development framework post-2015.
