FINANCING THE POST-2015
DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK
UNITED NATIONS PANEL ON FINANCING FOR
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Geneva – 9 July 2013
The World Bank
• 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.
2
Lessons from the existing MDGs framework
Increase impact of available resources
Leverage additional resources
3
A two-pronged approach to supporting a
post-2015 development framework
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:
Parameters to consider in the post-2015
financing framework
At the country level:
• Design targeted, evidence-based
policies and support sound
institutions
• Generate more revenues
• Ensure efficient public spending
• Promote financial deepening and
inclusion
Globally:
• Maximize the impact of ODA
• Support new development partners
• Leverage the private sector
• Tap into new sources of finance
• Deliver global public goods

Tax effort indicates how well a country is doing in terms of tax collection, relative to what could be reasonably expected given
its economic potential. It is calculated by dividing actual tax share by an estimate of how much tax the country should be able
to collect given the structural characteristics of its economy.
• Manage the macroeconomic effects of natural resource revenues and utilize
them to achieve development impact
• RfI has potential as a financing source, but carries considerable risks and
challenges both on the private sector and government sides
8
Generate more domestic revenues
Raising revenues from natural resources: potential and challenges
Private sector perspective
- Investments add to the high initial sunk costs
involved in mine and offshore oil field
development (frequently running into the billions
of dollars)
- Future revenue streams backing these
investments subject to political, market,
geological and other types of risk
- On infrastructure side, risks of cost overruns
Government perspective
- Without appropriate valuation both on mining
and infrastructure side, country risks forgoing
significant share of potential benefits from the
extractive project
- Assuming that appropriate valuation is
undertaken, still risks arising from uncertainty of
future commodity prices and of geological
estimates of oil and mineral reserves
- Essential that financing commitments be
complemented by appropriate extractives tax and
royalty regimes
Ensure efficient public spending
Fossil fuel subsidies do not target the poor
9
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.

Financial sector development for growth
Using local currency bond markets to develop the domestic investor base and mobilize
domestic savings to support investment in productive assets
Emerging market fixed income fund inflows by hard

LCBMs foster financial sector
development by:
 Providing pricing benchmarks for
private sector instruments
 Reducing risk management
through greater asset liability
matching
 Enabling diversification from bank
financing
 Providing safer, more liquid
savings vehicles for individuals
and institutions
Financial Inclusion
Access to finance is a major constraint to growth for entrepreneurs in LICs

Maximize the impact of ODA
Total ODA increased over the period 2000-2010, but is still falling short of
Monterrey targets…
“Official development assistance
(ODA) plays an essential role as a
complement to other sources of
financing for development, especially
in those countries with the least
capacity to attract private direct
investment… For many countries in
Africa, least developed countries,
small island developing States and
landlocked developing countries,
ODA is still the largest source of
external financing and is critical to
the achievement of the development
goals and targets of the Millennium
Declaration and other internationally
agreed development targets.”

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

• Scattered data – available estimates for private aid to developing countries in 2009 range
from USD 22 billion to USD 53 billion
• Low estimate is equivalent to 16 percent of ODA from all donors in the same year, and up
from 2005 (12 percent of ODA)
• Private philanthropy to fragile states increasing in recent years
• South-South philanthropy also on the rise, especially in the Arab world

– Private sector development for job creation and shared growth
• Maximize the impact of ODA
• Leverage more private resources
• Draw on emerging and innovative sources of finance
• Deliver global public goods
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.

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.
