  • Assessment of Auction Mechanism
    Additional Financing of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Line of Credit Project (RRP SRI 49273-002) ASSESSMENT OF AUCTION MECHANISM A. Introduction 1. The original project introduced an auction to allocate the funds among the participating banks. The auctions created a framework where banks made a disbursement commitment and incurred a financial penalty if that disbursement was not achieved. 2. The project conducted two auctions. In the first, National Development Bank (NDB) won the entire $12.5 million available. In the second, the funds were evenly divided among three institutions. 3. The project had planned to review the auction mechanism after the second auction, at which time Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the government would decide whether to continue with the auction or to introduce a more conventional allocation system. Following this review, the government requested the latter so that more banks could participate. 4. Although appreciating the government’s reasons for requesting the cancellation, the project team was overall pleased with the auction’s performance, and the objective of this appendix is to capture any lessons that could be applied to future auction systems. B. Lessons 1. Dominance by a Subset of Banks 5. The government was correct that the auction limited participation. After NDB won all the funds during the first auction, ADB and the government agreed to cap the amount any bank could win to a third of available funds. 6. Despite these changes, the bidding pattern of the first two auctions suggested that a subset of banks would dominate the auctions. Indeed, the same four banks finished in the top five of both rounds (Table 1).
