DFA Federal Deposit Insurance Reform - Dr. Scott HeinStephanie Bohn
Dr. Scott Hein, Professor of Finance and faculty director of the Texas Tech School of Banking, presented his research at the fourth annual Federal Reserve System/ Conference of State Bank Supervisors Community Banking in the 21st Century Research and Policy Conference at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
Mary Beth Gray provides a "how to" of the issues you need to consider when creating a distribution policy, and what is or is not permitted by the IRS. Tabitha Croscut discusses diversification language in plans and what the IRS decided was the definition of a "qualified participant."
The past 30 years has born witness to the collapse of the private pension system with for-profit employers, tax-exempt entities and now the governmental sponsors replacing defined benefit pension programs with defined contribution plans. This practice spawned a well-documented transfer of investment and funding risk from employer to employee. Now, most defined contribution plans render the employee the sole decision maker on the four factors that determine an employee's ability to retire successfully: contribution rate, investment strategy/return, time horizon, and spending needs in retirement.<br /><br /> In this presentation we will address what employers can do to help employees meet the demands of the new retirement plan era.
In the wake of the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014 (the "MPRA"), companies that participate in multiemployer pension funds should take note of recent developments impacting their withdrawal liability risks and the collective bargaining strategies with their unions. Employers should also review their pension fund's latest financial information, which most plans have recently updated. This webinar will provide an overview of how the post-MPRA landscape for troubled multiemployer pension plans has continued to evolve, as well as a handy "road map" for employers to use to better manage the many risks that come with participation in these funds.

1. Leasing Industry in Uganda The Ugandan leasing industry is scareyshaunda
1. Leasing Industry in Uganda
The Ugandan leasing industry is still in its infancy. Leasing represents less than one percent of private sector capital formation (approximately 5% of total private sector credit) in Uganda as compared to the average of 14% in emerging markets and 31% in USA. X Company Leasing controls over 85% of the Ugandan leasing market. The Company recognizes the growth potential of leasing and acts as a catalyst to grow the entire industry by:
• Expanding its own profitable operations;
• Educating the marketplace;
• Creating a more effective legal and fiscal environment;
• And, promoting financial sector development by lobbying for new instruments.
There are considerable benefits to making leasing available in a developing economy, as well as challenges. The rationale for leasing is highlighted in the following table:
Table 1. The Case for Leasing
Benefits to Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs)
Accessibility:
Leasing can allow new businesses with limited capital and credit history or small businesses without a history of financial statements to quickly boost their operations, as long as the cash flow from operations is sufficient to cover the lease service payments. It is not a direct substitute for lending since it does not directly increase operating capital, but when it enables the borrower to avoid using operating capital to purchase an asset, it can have similar results. Security Since lessors own the assets and use the leased asset as the primary security, SMEs can still be eligible for the lease financing when bank loans would not be available.
Duration
: SMEs often have no access to long-term financing (over one year). Leases can provide longer duration financing, often with terms from one to five years.
Payment terms:
Lease payments can be structured to mirror individual cash flow patterns of the lessee in contrast to bank loans, which have standardized repayment schedules.
Process time:
Owing to the collateral-backed nature of the financing, less analysis is required of the customer’s credit worthiness, assets or capital base; less time is needed for assigning other collateral; and, simpler documentation can be used. (This may be countered by the time it takes to acquire the assets, usually from foreign vendors).
Benefits to Lessors
Security:
Since lessors own the assets and can repossess them immediately upon
non-payment, the security is easier to claim than when the financier has to chase after a client’s collateral, often through poorly developed court systems.
Funds usage
: Because the lessor purchases equipment and then leases it there is no opportunity for the lessee to use the funds for other purposes.
Benefits to Financial Sector Development
Cash flow based lending:
Moves the financial industry to rely more on cash flow based lending than on credit history and formal historical financial records.
Diversification:
Broadens product range and competitio ...

Resume
• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
• At the April monetary policy meeting, the NBU again reduced the key policy rate from 14.5% to 13.5% per annum.
• Over the past four weeks, the hryvnia exchange rate has stabilized in the UAH 39-40 per USD range.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Empowering the Unbanked: The Vital Role of NBFCs in Promoting Financial Inclu...Vighnesh Shashtri
In India, financial inclusion remains a critical challenge, with a significant portion of the population still unbanked. Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) have emerged as key players in bridging this gap by providing financial services to those often overlooked by traditional banking institutions. This article delves into how NBFCs are fostering financial inclusion and empowering the unbanked.

2. Harcourt Brown & Carey: Energy & Finance Consulting and financial advisory firm with a specialty in clean energy financing & related energy policy. Published numerous papers on clean energy finance. Clean energy finance clients include states, utilities, lenders, federal agencies, national and regional associations and advocacy organizations.
3. The Challenge To stimulate economic growth To improve the quality of buildings in which we work and live To reduce the amount we spend on imported energy. And to put people back to work through investments in the above. But States have very limited resources to meet this challenge.
31. 3 Types of Capital Capital source determines: costof funds, termof financing, underwriting. Determined by credit quality. Traditional Low-Cost Specialty
36. 1. make loans in a junior position to senior capital
37. make loans to below-typical credit quality borrowers.
38. 2. make loans for extended periods (eg. 15+ years in residential programs)
39.
40. QECBs reduce the issuer’s borrowing costs by a direct subsidy from the U.S. Treasury (currently approximately 3.8%) leading to issuer costs starting at 1.5%
41. This level of subsidy is far greater than the current taxable/tax exempt spread
48. Money that a government or utility sets aside to cover potential losses that a lender might incur, up to some maximum amount.
49. If losses are less than the amount of the credit enhancement then the utility gets its funds back or the funds can be used to support additional lending.
50. If losses are greater than the size of the credit enhancement, the lender bears the loss.
55. 6.99% for straight-up ENERGY STAR® measures Administered by a 3rd party lender that specializes in energy lending. Delivered through a certified contractor network& 1-800 number.
56. Michigan Saves: Residential Leverage: $60 million loan facility based on $3 million loan loss reserve . 7% rate to borrower. 10 year max loan term – being raised to longer term. 640 and a higher FICO score required (about 50% of MI population qualifies). Marketed through a contractor network.
58. The Spectrum of Utility-Based EE Financing Move to the right and the utility role diminishes while non-utility role increases. “Utility” could be shareholder or ratepayer funds.
59.
60. Since the utility is not the creditor, it should avoid regulation under TILA.
61. One variant is to have two EFT payments (one for lender and one for utility bill).
62.
63. Illinois Utilities Legislation required utilities to develop efficiency financing programs -- $2.5 million each utility for a statewide total of $12.5 million. Utility ratepayers would cover 100% of defaults. A 3rd party entity conducts all loan origination and servicing. Loan terms TBD. Contract awarded but not public. Our firm working to develop capital source.
64. A Focus on Commercial Lending Attractive because of larger project sizes and much better paybacks on energy efficiency investments. Credit is more difficult to evaluate than residential. Ownership structures are often complex. Loan sizes are often odd (too small for most lending).
65.
66. Conclusions Financing programs can work, if they are streamlined and marketed not just as financing but as a means to better equipment, more energy savings. Financing is necessary but not sufficient to meeting energy policy goals.
