I. Investing in inclusive
growth to meet the SDGs
The SDGs present a major
opportunity for transformation
Global development agendas serve as a guide for countries to determine their national development path
MDGs (2000-2015) SDGs (2016-2030)
Goals/ Targets/Indicators 8/21/60 17/169/~230
Priority Areas Human Development Holistic: Economic, Social, Environmental
Scope Developing Countries Universal
Investing in inclusive growth:
The Common Characteristics of High, Sustained Growth
Source: The Growth Report, 2008
Investing in human capital
Three main indicators, reflecting
building blocks of the human capital:
• Survival – Will kids born today
survive to school age?
• School – How much school
will they complete and how
much will they learn?
• Health – Will kids leave
school in good health and be
ready for further learning
and/or work?
“How much human capital will a child born today acquire by the end of
secondary school, given the risks to health, education and social protection that
prevail in the country where she was born?”

II. The role of the
financial sector
Components of a sound financial sector
Consumer/ Investor
Protection
Effective Regulations

Literacy
Financial Innovation
Mobilize Savings and Allocate Investments
Legal framework to enhance trust, confidence in financial contracts and transactions

Higher levels of financial
development cause:
 a faster decline in the
fraction of population living
below the poverty line.
 a lower incidence of poverty
compared to other
countries at the same
income level
Empirical evidence shows:
 a 10 percentage point
increase in private credit to
GDP ratio reduces the share
of the population in poverty
by 2.5 to 3 percentage
points
 a 1 percentage point
increase in private credit to
GDP reduces
malnourishment by 0.2 to
2.5 percentage points

Private credit as a
share of GDP
Research has shown that financial sector development
reduces poverty levels
In countries with more
developed financial
intermediaries:
 Income inequality falls
more rapidly (declining
Gini coefficient)
 Income of the poorest 20%
grows faster
 Credit constraints on the
poor are less severe,
helping capital allocation
and improving growth
Vertical axis: Income Inequality –changes in Gini coefficient (1960-2005);
Horizontal axis: Financial Sector Development – logarithm of private sector
credit to GDP ratio (period average).
Source: Beck, Demirgüç-Kunt, and Levine (2007).
There is also evidence that financial sector
development reduces income inequality

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. “Trickle-down theory - the less than elegant metaphor that if one feeds the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows.” -John Kenneth Galbraith
  2. Higher levels of financial development cause: a faster decline in the fraction of population living below the poverty line. a lower incidence of poverty compared to other countries at the same income level Empirical evidence shows: a 10 percentage point increase in private credit to GDP ratio reduces the share of the population in poverty by 2.5 to 3 percentage points a 1 percentage point increase in private credit to GDP reduces malnourishment by 0.2 to 2.5 percentage points
  3. In countries with more developed financial intermediaries: Income inequality falls more rapidly (declining Gini coefficient) Income of the poorest 20% grows faster Credit constraints on the poor are less severe, helping capital allocation and improving growth
  4. Financial stability: Helps Islamic financial institutions to be more resilient to particular shocks May help to diffuse risk in the financial system Financial inclusion: Helps widening the range of products and services available to businesses and households Helps improving access of the underserved to financial services Social impact: Helps achieve empowerment of marginalized groups Helps access funds used for nutrition, healthcare and education Infrastructure development: Helps attract investment in infrastructure Can be leveraged to attract private funding and form private public partnerships (PPPs)
  5. The asset-backed nature of Islamic finance makes sukuk ideal for infrastructure financing in some ways, but until now the sector has been confined mostly to handling mid-sized deals with shorter tenors. Traditionally, conventional bonds, often designed and marketed by Western banks, have been the default option for infrastructure-related debt deals. The balance sheets of Islamic banks have generally been too small to cope with very large sukuk issues with long tenors. So far, the lion’s share of Islamic infrastructure financing has been handled by the Islamic Development Bank. However, a growing and much deeper pool of capital is in the hand of private-sector Islamic investors, and the IDB is trying along with the G20 to help unlock such capital. In addition to the traditional benefits of sukuk, such as diversifying an investor base and accessing investors who do not invest in interest based bonds, a less discussed value add of sukuk is its structure, particularly the Ijara structure which to a greater deal over conventional bonds prevents the wastage of funds through corruption and theft. Taking the example of the sukuk issued by the Government of Luxembourg in 2014, three government properties – two towers of the Gate of Europe in Kirchberg and the Gutenberg building in Strassen were sold to a Luxembourg SPV for which the Luxembourg Government was the single shareholder. The SPV was securitised by means of the sukuk holders investing €200 million who whilst receiving this value back at maturity (when the Government buys back the properties from the SPV), would receive a benchmark linked profit rate of 0.436% to be generated from the rental income received by the SPV from the tenants of the three properties securitised. This asset linked profit generation means investors get to understand the underlying asset and are more involved in the project. All money raised has to be accounted for as it is used by the SPV to purchase the properties, the funds cannot go missing, or be wasted. In developing domestic sukuk markets, policy makers should use a framework similar to that of the development of conventional bond markets, that is, by establishing (1) well-functioning money markets, (2) efficient primary markets and securities-offering regimes, (3) a robust and diversified investor base, (4) a market infrastructure that facilitates trading, price transparency, and efficient clearing and settlement of transactions, (5) derivatives market and hedging tools to support risk management by issuers and investors, and (6) a credible legal and regulatory framework. In accessing the international market, the issues policy makers or potential sukuk issuers should consider include awareness of and knowledge of sukuk, legal foundation, taxation, governance, and obligors’ credit rating.
  6. How to meet development objectives, in short Avoid bad ideas Implement the list of policies adopted by countries with sustained high growth Adopt one or more of the global development paths: SDGs OECD Accession World Bank twin goals Data, finance, and implementation are the key Data: strengthen capacity; support data revolution Finance: maximize impact of each type of finance: public; private; domestic; international. Ensure private sector participation. Establish a SWF Expand financial inclusion, in particular savings Implementation: Invest in people Invest in inclusive growth Invest in resilience Development happens at the local level: ensure that
