24 Annual Report 2020 Third: Joint Arab Action

Introduction The Arab Fund, in 2020, continued its activities in various areas in support of priority sectors and in response to the decisions and directives of the Arab summits, which accorded a special importance to projects and issues related to joint Arab action. The Arab Fund’s interventions in support of Arab cooperation were numerous; they included financing of projects, technical and economic studies for Arab interconnection projects, seminars, research, as well as participation in initiatives related to the support of specialized inter-Arab institutions. Thus, the Arab Fund provided support to any activity aimed at achieving Arab integration between member countries. The following provides a brief on the main activities:

Coordination between the Arab National and Regional Development Institutions and Cooperation with International Institutions The Arab Fund continued to assume the functions of the Coordination Secretariat between national and regional Arab development institutions (the Coordination Group), preparing their periodic meetings and following up on implementation of its recommendations.

The eighty-fifth Coordination Group meeting was hosted by the Arab Bank for Economic and Social Development (BADEA) during the period 03 – 05 March, 2020, in Khartoum, Sudan. During this meeting, the progress of the joint task forces between the Group and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Development Assistance Committee (OECD/DAC) on the topics of education, women empowerment and water was reviewed, in addition to the progress of the task force on cooperation between the Group and the World Bank. The topic of the Arab Development Portal was also discussed during this meeting, where the issue of transferring the portal to the Arab Monetary Fund was specifically addressed. The transfer is to be based on the outputs of the study prepared by the consortium who was contracted in January 2020, at a total cost of US Dollars 744 thousand, covered completely by the Arab Fund. Also during the meeting, the discussions included, the progress of the contracts committee concerned with reviewing and updating documents in effect since 1995, the progress of the task force on the Group’s joint activities on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank in 2021 in the UAE, the presentation of BADEA’s 2030 Strategic Vision, and the initiative to establish a coalition to support small and medium size enterprises, through which BADEA aims to mobilize the financial and technical resources necessary for the advancement of small and medium size enterprises, in addition to reviewing the working papers prepared by the Arab Monetary Fund related to project bonds and cooperation to develop Arab financial markets in local currencies, cooperation in the digital field, the applications of modern financial technologies in Arab countries, and the developments of the “Buna” Arab Regional Payment System. In addition, the meeting included reviewing the developments in the Global Partnership for Effectiveness Development Cooperation, as well as developments in the field of financial inclusion. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the Global Partnership for Education also presented their activities in Arab countries.

A virtual meeting was held on May 18, 2020 by the Heads of the Coordination Group Institutions. This meeting was dedicated to discussing coordinated initiatives to mitigate, contain and remedy the negative effects of the Corona (COVID-19) pandemic on the countries benefitting from the Group’s aid. During this meeting, the heads of the Group stressed the importance of employing all available financing tools, including grants, soft loans, technical support, general budget support, balance of payments, financing lines, trade finance, trade insurance,

Annual Report 2020 25 investment and public and private sector capacity development programs, including targeted activities related to economic empowerment in order to combat the pandemic and its resulting implications. At the conclusion of the meeting, a joint declaration was issued confirming the pledge by the Heads of Institutions to allocate US dollars 10 billion to assist developing countries in their efforts to recover from the recession caused by the pandemic and its impact.

A follow-up virtual meeting was held on July 9, 2020 by the Heads of Operations of the Coordination Group. This meeting was dedicated to the exchange of information and programs proposed by the members of the Group to implement the Heads of Institutions’ decision to allocate US Dollars 10 billion to help beneficiary countries in their immediate response and their efforts to achieve economic recovery from the recession caused by the pandemic and its impact. During this meeting, the idea of creating​​ a platform for the exchange of information on the accomplishments of the Group’s interventions in accordance with the declaration of the Heads of Institutions was presented, as well as the idea of coordinating and following-up through virtual meetings for the specialists and technical staff. In this regard, a virtual meeting was held on July 24, 2020 by the technical staff concerned with the African region, one was held on October 12, 2020 by the technical staff concerned with the Arab and Asian region, and one was held on November 25, 2020 by the technical staff concerned with the Latin American region and Other countries. During these meetings, information was exchanged on the steps that had been taken, and the achievements made, as well as consultation on the next steps.

The eighty-sixth Coordination Group meeting was held virtually at the invitation of the OPEC Fund for International Development during the period 1-2 September 2020. During this meet- ing, the focus was on following up developments regarding issues related to preparation for the meeting of the Heads of Institutions with the OECD/DAC, the Arab Development Portal, the progress of the contracts committee, the task force on the Group’s joint activities on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank in 2021 in the UAE, the Global Partnership for Effectiveness Development Cooperation, and the develop- ments of the “Buna” Arab Regional Payment System of the Regional Corporation for Arab Payments Clearing and Settlement owned by the Arab Monetary Fund. During this meeting, a presentation was also made by the International Fund for Agricultural Development review- ing the measures it has taken to respond to the Corona pandemic and mitigate the effects on poor and vulnerable rural communities. During the same meeting, the World Bank also presented their accomplishments in the field of existing cooperation in the Middle East and North Africa region, in Africa and the Horn of Africa initiative, in addition to the activities and measures taken in response to the Corona pandemic and the urgent aid to Lebanon to meet the needs resulting from the massive explosion that took place on August 4, 2020 resulting in the devastation of the Beirut Port.

The Special Account financed about 92 thousand projects, thus contributing to the provision and preservation of about 432 thousand jobs.

Arab Trade Finance Trade contributes to the economic and social development of Arab countries, through its support to Arab exports, by enhancing Arab productive capabilities, and through the provision of development requirements including equipment, machinery and devices. The Arab Trade Finance Program aims at achieving the goals of the Agreement for the Facilitation and Promotion of Intra-Arab Trade, and the agreement on the Arab Free Trade Area, and enhancing the competitiveness of Arab exports. The Arab Fund contributed to the establishment of this Program, in cooperation with the Arab Monetary Fund, and contributed to its capital. The Arab Fund is the second largest contributor to the Program, after the Arab Monetary Fund, with a share of about 22.6% of the program’s issued and paid-in capital of US Dollars 986,635,000. By the end of 2020, the total amount of approved financing requests reached about US Dollars 18.0 billion. These requests were submitted through 217 national agencies in all Arab countries (mostly from national and central banks, in addition to some relevant ministries and institutions).

Arab Development Portal In response to the request of many of the institutions of the Coordination Group to conduct a study to evaluate the Portal and prepare an action plan to transfer its operations and maintenance services from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to one of the Group’s institutions, the Arab Fund prepared the terms of reference for the required study and held an international tender for its preparation. The contract for performing the study was signed, in the beginning of January 2020, with a consortium of two specialized French companies.

The first phase of the study consisted of a complete evaluation of what has been achieved in the Portal, and the issuance of recommendations to improve its performance. The second phase of study consisted of specifying the steps to implement the transfer of the Portal’s development services from the UNDP to the Arab Monetary Fund, and the projected transfer costs. The study was completed in September 2020, and its recommendations are currently under implementation.

The Arab Electrical Interconnection Grid Code Study Utilizing the proceeds of the grant allocated by the Arab Fund to participate in the financing of the World Bank’s initiative for the Pan-Arab Regional Energy Trade Program, the Arab Fund financed and carried out the Arab Electrical Interconnection Grid Code Study, which was completed in May 2020. Along with the General Agreement and the Arab Electrical Market Agreement, the Arab Grid Code constitutes the key governance documents for the Arab electricity market. The Arab Grid Code includes the general conditions, the glossary and definitions, the planning codes, the connection codes, the operation codes, the scheduling and dispatching codes, the metering codes and the data exchange codes. The study’s final report was presented to the Electric Power Experts’ Committee of the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States, in preparation to present it to the Executive Office of the Arab Ministerial Council for Electricity.

Annual Report 2020 27 Preparation of the Joint Arab Economic Report The Joint Arab Economic Report is considered an important source of economic and social information on Arab countries, for both researchers and decision makers. The Arab Fund continued its annual participation in the preparation of this report, in collaboration with the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States, the Arab Monetary Fund and the Organization of the Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC). The Arab Fund prepared the chapters of the report on economic and social development, the agriculture and water sector, the industrial sector and Arab developmental aid. The Arab Fund also prepared the theme chapter for this year’s report, titled “The Digital Economy and Supporting its Role in Arab Development”, which is prepared on a rotating basis with the other participating institutions.

Arab Spring Development Initiative The activities of the Arab Spring Development Initiative (ASDI) continued during 2020. The initiative was launched in 2014, as a partnership between the Arab Fund and the World Bank. The initiative aims to promote discussion of pressing development issues in Arab countries, generate new insights for researchers and decision makers, and support the existing cooperation between the two institutions. Within this framework, the initiative seeks to support the developmental efforts of the countries that are facing political and economic transitions in the Arab region, through the provision of information and knowledge to the decision makers in those countries on the pressing issues.

ASDI focuses on three main areas of activity, which are: open access to data and survey-based research and their harmonization and wide dissemination, implementation and publication of policy-relevant research in relation to the political and economic transformation in the Arab countries, and the creation of a variety of platforms for policy discussions and dialogue on varying pressing topics for policy makers, researchers and other stakeholders such as the media and various segments of civil society, and making research outcomes available to them. ASDI is being supervised by the Economic Research Forum (ERF). The Arab Fund, along with the World Bank, contributed to the financing of all the phases of implementation since the launch of the initiative, whereas 2020 is the last year of this initiative’s implementation. The implemented activities and published studies and research within this initiative may be accessed through the following internet link: http://erf.org.eg/erf_programs_tax/asdi.

Support to Arab and Regional Institutions The Arab Fund continued its support to the activities of Arab and regional institutions which promote Arab development, directly or indirectly, especially in the areas of capacity building of cadres and increasing their scientific and applied capabilities, studies and research, or conducting seminars and conferences, in addition to supporting the capabilities of these institutions in achieving their objectives. For example, the Arab Fund provided several grants to support the activities and programs of the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) amounting to 63 grants for a total amount of about KD 21.1 million. In addition, the total number of grants provided to the Economic Research Forum reached 47 for a total amount of about KD 7.4 million. The Arab Fund also supported numerous other Arab organizations such as the Gulf Arab States Educational Research Center, and scientific and research institutions.

Annual Report 2020 35 Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development Independent Regional Arab Financial Organization - Kuwait Significant Accounting Policies

a) Statement of compliance The financial statements of the Fund are prepared in compliance with accounting policies set out below and the Convention on the establishment of the Fund.

b) Basis of measurement The financial statements are prepared on a fair value basis for financial assets and liabilities, except those with no available and reliable measure of fair value. Other financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities are carried at amortized cost or historical cost. The accounting policies followed by the Fund are agreeing accordingly with the same policies followed in the previous year.

c) Investments Financial assets are classified as financial investments at fair value through statement of income, loans and receivables, or investments available for sale or as share in the capital of related institutions as appropriate. The Fund determines the classification of its financial assets in principle upon initial recognition. Investments are designated at fair value through statement of income if they are managed, and their performance is evaluated on reliable fair value basis. Investment assets at fair value through statement of income are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Equity investments designated as available for sale are those which are neither classified as held for trading nor designated at fair value through statement of income. Investments available for sale are subsequently measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Until the investment is derecognized, at which time the cumulative gains or losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

d) Loans Loans are stated at the amortized cost less provision for impairment. No impairment provisions are accounted for loans granted to the public sector as these are considered sovereign loans guaranteed for payment by consecutive governments of the member states. The impairment provision for loans granted to the private sector are estimated if their collection is no longer probable; and recorded at the statement of comprehensive income.

e) Impairment An assessment is made by the Fund at each reporting date of the financial statements to determine whether there is an indication that an asset is impaired. All impairment losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

36 Annual Report 2020 f) Investment in an associate The investment in the associated entity is equity accounted. The Fund’s share of the profit or loss shall be recognized on the basis of the Fund’s ownership in the total equity. g) Fixed assets Fixed assets are not capitalized but rather are directly recorded in statement of comprehensive income in the year of purchase. h) Provision for pension fund Provision for the Fund’s obligation towards employees’ pension is determined based on contributions paid by the employees and the Fund, in addition to a return of 7% p.a. guaranteed by the Fund. i) Foreign Currencies Foreign currency transactions are translated to the Fund’s functional currency according to the exchange rates at the date of these transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are re-translated to the Fund’s functional currency at the reporting date of the financial statements according to the exchange rates at that date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. Differences of foreign currencies arising from the re-translation are recognized within the statement of comprehensive income, excluding differences arising from re-translation of equity instruments available for sale and investment in an associate which are recognized within other comprehensive income. j) Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises of current accounts with banks. Cash equivalents comprise of bank balances and short term deposits with maturity of three months or less. k) Revenue recognition • Interest income is recorded using the on a straight-line basis method that represents the price that exactly discounts the cash flows along the expected life of the financial asset or a shorter period where appropriate, to the net carried amount of the financial asset. • Interests and commissions on loans to countries with unpaid past due interest for over three months are excluded from profit or loss and only recorded as income when received. • Interest income from time deposits and call accounts is recognized on a time proportion basis. • Fee and commission income is recognized when earned. • Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.
