As the economy grew rapidly in years that followed, the Government of India recognized that huge amounts of investment would be required to develop and rehabilitate the infrastructure sector if the country was to sustain targeted economic growth of 9% a year. India’s financial markets also needed strengthening because the supply of long-term funding to match the longer tenor requirements of infrastructure financing was grossly inadequate. To help meet these challenges and provide impetus to infrastructure development, the government successfully sought the help of ADB and other international financial institutions (IFIs) in the establishment of the Infrastructure Development Finance Company (IDFC) in 1997. With an equity investment of $30 million in IDFC for a 6.1% equity stake, ADB was one of the founding investors in IDFC and helped formulate the company’s business plan and strategy. The presence of nominees of ADB and other IFIs on the IDFC board enhanced IDFC’s lending practices and standards. The IDFC became the premier infrastructure finance company for catalyzing private capital participation in commercially viable infrastructure investments in India. By July 2005, the initial mandate of the ADB and its partner IFIs to help the government establish and nurture the IDFC had been fulfilled and the company’s success had paved the way for it to enter the public equity markets. Prior to the IPO, ADB approved a $50 million foreign currency loan in 2005 to supplement the company’s long-term funding requirements through Loan to Infrastructure Development Finance Company (India). ADB’s loan helped the IDFC leverage additional financing from foreign investors and domestic financial institutions. ADB’s presence in IDFC has continued to provide comfort to IDFC’s other creditors and has encouraged commercial banks to participate in infrastructure finance. The development impact of ADB’s loan and equity investment in IDFC is rated excellent when evaluated against four criteria: (i) private sector development; (ii) business success; (iii) economic development; and (iv) environment, social, health, and safety performance. This extended annual review report rates overall impact of ADB’s investment on private sector development excellent. The IDFC today is not only the largest private infrastructure finance company in India but also highly regarded for innovative products and effectively channeling retail funds into infrastructure projects and for its major contribution to the marked growth in the private sector’s share in infrastructure financing. The IDFC’s financial and business performance remained robust despite the economic slowdown during FY2008. The IDFC’s contribution to overall economic development was also measured by its significant involvement in almost every large infrastructure project in India since 1997 through project financing and advisory services. ADB’s loan to the IDFC was classified in the financial intermediary category under ADB's Environment Policy (2002). The IDFC adopted comprehensive environmental management systems and procedures that are consistent with ADB’s and other IFIs’ standards. ADB’s loan was classified as a Category C project for impact on indigenous peoples. No involuntary resettlement of indigenous peoples has resulted from the IDFC's activities. The IDFC employs a robust environmental and social management system and ADB’s loan is rated satisfactory in this regard. iv ADB's work quality is rated excellent based on (i) the screening, appraisal, and structuring of the project; (ii) monitoring and supervision; and (iii) ADB's role and contribution. ADB’s screening, appraisal, and structuring of the equity and the loan projects were excellent because the investments fulfilled their objective of establishing a premier infrastructure finance company in India. ADB’s continuing participation in the IDFC through the existing loan demonstrates ADB’s commitment to expanding infrastructure finance by encouraging more active

    MORE THAN BRICKS AND MORTAR Infrastructure-as-asset-class: Financing development or developing finance? A Critical Look at Private Equity Infrastructure Funds1 by Nicholas Hildyard The Corner House2 1 Sources for further information, including hyperlinks, have been given throughout this report where possible. Website addresses were correct at the time of writing. Please notify The Corner House of any broken link: enquiries AT thecornerhouse.org.uk 2 The author would like to thank Isabella Besedova, Theodoros Chronopoulos, Peter Frankental, Jutta Kill, Tom Lines, Larry Lohmann, Doug Norlen, Sarah Sexton, Antonio Tricarico and Beck Wallace for their invaluable comments on early drafts of this paper. 1 “When the capital development of a country becomes the by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done.” John Maynard Keynes, General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, 1936 “The last quarter century of ‘deregulation’ involved the introduction of a vast array of new legal mechanisms and regulations by national governments to protect the interests of investors and shareholders. This must be dismantled; and new legal mechanisms and regulations must be introduced nationally to subordinate investment capital to democratic requirements established in international human rights standards.” Peter Rossman and Gerard Greenfield, Financialization: New Routes to Profit, New Challenges for Trade Unions, 20061 Introduction Political discourse is often conducted in code. Where policy proposals or actions are likely to engender strong opposition or cause affront to the public, euphemisms are used (“collateral damage” for “dead civilians”, “land disturbance” for “mining”, “environmental enhancement” for “canalising rivers”)2 or concepts are employed that direct the conversation elsewhere.
