EPEC novo centro de conhecimento sobre PPP

European institutions take lead on PPP expertise
Em Setembro 2008, o BEI, Banco Europeu de Investimento e a Comissão Europeia criaram o Centro Europeu de PPP para apoiar as autoridades públicas dos paísesmembros a gerir melhor os contratos de PPP.
A missão do EPEC será de ajudar a compensar a falta de capacidades de gestão de PPP no sector público com a partilha de lições e melhores práticas, recolha e tratamento de informação e divulgação de orientações para as entidades Concedentes. Os membros do EPEC são autoridades públicas responsáveis pelo lançamento e gestão de contratos de PPP.

O EPEC http://www.eib.org/epec/ está operacional e oferece serviços de Apoio ou Help Desk aos seus membros, sob a direcção de Nick Jennett.

O BEI já fez empréstimos de mais de € 25.000 MM para projectos PPP, sobretudo na Europa e cerca de 80% no sector de transportes.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Commission have launched the European PPP Expertise Centre (EPEC) to enable public authorities in the EU Member and Candidate Countries to become more effective participants in PPP transactions.

Club deals now the norm in Project Finance

Sob a pressão da contração de crédito, os bancos estão a racionar a sua capacidade de crédito para os seus principais clientes e participam menos em empréstimo liderados por outros bancos. Assim o financiamento de projectos tornou-se mais dependente de club deals de um grupo pequeno de bancos, muitos deles do próprio país, como nestes casos recentes reportados na Project Finance magazine.

A4, Venda de Cardenas, Espanha
Financiamento de €141 MM para a auto-estrada sem portagens, liderado pelo BBVA para o consórcio promotor que inclui Aldeasa, Alvac, Axvi, Inypsa e Sando. O financiamento da concessão a 28 anos, consiste de um crédito sénior de €105 MM a 19 anos, com um rácio médio de cobertura de serviço de dídida de 1.2X, €10 MM para financiar o IVA, e € 24 MM de captital.

Barcelona Sagrera Alta Velocidad
O mutuário , uma sociedade joint venture entre o municipio de Barcelona, a Generalitat de Cataluña e Renfe, recebeu de € 150 MM de um club deal de 3 anos dos bancos BBVA, Caja Madrid, La Caixa e Santander, a Euribor+0,625% para financiar parcialmente os desenvolvimentos da Alta Velocidad orçamentados em € 375,5 MM.

A Folia dos Fiados vista a partir da Taberna da Aldeia

Esta história anónima, que me chegou por diversas cadeias de mensagens , é a melhor explicação que tenho visto sobre a actual crise financeira e colapso dos mercados de capitais, e inclusive a minha análise que podem ver no PPP Lusofonia.

CITAÇÃO:
Para quem não entendeu ou não sabe bem o que é a actual CRISE AMERICANA E MUNDIAL, ou o que gerou a crise americana e mundial, segue um breve relato económico para leigo entender.

Então, é assim:
O sr. Zé tem um bar, na Vila Carrapato, e decide que vai vender vinho 'na caderneta' aos seus leais fregueses, todos bêbados, quase todos desempregados...
Porque decidiu vender a crédito, ele pode aumentar um pouquinho o preço da dose do tintol (a diferença é o sobrepreço que os pinguços pagam pelo crédito).
O gerente do banco do sr Zé, um ousado administrador formado em curso de emibiêi, decide que as cadernetas das dívidas do bar constituem, afinal, um activo recebível, e começa a adiantar dinheiro ao estabelecimento, tendo o pindura dos pinguços como garantia.
Uns seis zécutivos dos bancos, mais adiante, lastreiam os tais recebíveis do banco, e os transformam em CDB, CDO, CCD, UTI, OVNI, SOS ou qualquer outro acrónimo financeiro que ninguém sabe exactamente o que quer dizer.
Esses adicionais instrumentos financeiros alavancam o mercado de capitais e conduzem a operações estruturadas de derivativos, na BM&F, cujo lastro inicial todo mundo desconhece (as tais cadernetas do sr. Zé ).
Esses derivados passam a ser negociados como se fossem títulos sérios, com fortes garantias reais, nos mercados de 73 países.
Até que alguém descobre que os bêbados da Vila Carrapato não têm dinheiro para pagar as contas, o bar do sr. Zé vai à falência, e também toda a cadeia.
É ISTO!
FIM DE CITAÇÃO

Acrescente-se que o sr. Zé até conhecia bem os seus clientes e até suspeitava que não iam poder pagar. Por isso ele vendia as ditas "cadernetas" da lista dos fiados a investidores terceiros, que lhe adiantavem logo o dinheiro, e ficavam a receber dos bebedores, sem recurso a ele, sr. Zé. Como havia muita procura da parte desses investidores terceiros, o sr. Zé até chegou a contratar uns agentes angariadores para conseguir mais bebedores fiados nas aldeias próximas, e porque não longínquas, e quanto mais bêbedos melhor para fazer volume. Tudo para ceder mais cadernetas dos fiados a mais investidores, sempre sem recurso, que o sr. Zé não era parvo. Entretanto o sr Zé, cheio de liquidez (da boa, a financeira) multiplica o seu ordenando, auto-atribui-se um prémio valente, entrega a taberna a uns dos angariadores que nem sabe de vinho, nem de bêbedos, e retira-se atempadamente para uma ilha tropical.

Eis senão quando, chega aí o aquecimento global, e a bela ilha ameaça afundar-se numa enorme tempestade mundial.

Não perca os próximos capítulos...

Efficient Market Fallacy condemns us to repeated Manias, Panics and Crashes

Now that the international financial market is in turmoil, with institutions collapsing from coast to coast and country to country, financial experts are questioning the efficient market theory.

If the "market is always right", how can things turn out so wrong.

Clearly, information does not flow freely but is often assymetric. Participants are not all alike and some may actually exercise considerable market power and attempt to move the market in their favor.

A recent article (11-Sept-2008) in the Economist magazine cited the book on “The Origin of Financial Crises: Central Banks, Credit Bubbles and the Efficient Market Fallacy” published by Harriman House.
But the Charles Kindleberger 1989 classic MANIAS, PANICS and CRASHES, should be required reading for financial regulators and bank and insurance executives, at least once a year.

MANIAS... shows us once again the truism that those who forget the lessons of history are condemmed to repeat them.

The current crisis reminds us once again that a Bank is like a Bicycle.
When it fails, it just topples over.
And bank failures are ALWAYS caused by liquidity problems, even when there are underlying asset value and solvency problems as well. Banking is also basic social infrastructure, providing a "public service". More than just "greasing" the economy, it plays the key role of aggregating and allocating assets between savers and borrowers, AND taking risk as intermediary.
Economic history is full of successive banking crises and liquidity bubbles bursting in one sector after another. That's why commercial banking became a closely regulated industry, with low but steady returns on capital, and separated from investment banking with its high but highly variable returns on capital. When the distinction between retail commercial banking and wholesale investment banking fell with the end of Glass Steagall, the domino effect had that much more room to play itself out. Having forgotten the lessons of (economic) history, we seem to be condemned to repeat them, with a big assist from negative real interest rates, poor monetary policy and disoriented bank regulation.

It is strange that the problems started in housing finance. Home mortgage loans are NOT difficult to understand nor to model, nor should they need Government guarantees. Home loans are one of the "plain vanilla" products of traditional commercial bank intermediation.

The difficulties have come mostly with execessively structured MBS - Mortgage Backed Securities, with tranching, swaps and strips accross a dozen counterparties. These new products raised as many risk problems as they appeared to solve.

Whereas banks traditional had to cope with credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity mismatch risk, with these new financial products, they have been adding large quantitities of counterparty risk and opacity.

As the crisis spreads before bottoming out, the image of falling dominos may rather misleading. With falling dominos, you could at least see the contagion, and you could jump ahead to remove half a dozen pieces and contain it. But the MBS and and other structured financial products, now consideres "toxic", have proved to be like a "house of cards under a thick blanket". You can see it shake, you know it's going to come down. But you can't predict how or when the collapse will come. And worst of all, you can't figure out how to intervene to prevent the crash.

Mais vale perder um minuto na vida ... do que a vida num minuto


Os estudantes do ensino superior (18-30 anos) têm até 21-Novembro-08 para prepar trabalhos e participar no Concurso Nacional - Educação, Segurança e Prevenção Rodoviárias:
Mais vale perder um minuto na vida ...
... do que a vida num minuto!

Serão atribuídos três prémios com valores que oscilam entre os € 1.500 e os € 2.500, bem como um Prémio Inovação no valor de € 5.000 para a proposta com a abordagem mais inovadora. O professor coordenador deste último prémio será também reconhecido através de um incentivo de € 1.000. Os trabalhos podem ser apresentados individualmente ou em grupo, com o limite máximo de três elementos.

Este desafio às boas praticas de segurança rodoviária decorre dos objectivos da Carta Europeia da Segurança Rodoviária. O concurso é organizado pela Fundação da Juventude e conta com os patrocínios da Autoridade Nacional de Segurança Rodoviária, Instituto de Seguros de Portugal, Fidelidade Mundial, Brisa e Renault, e com os apoios da ANECRA e Zona - S (portal de educação e segurança rodoviária).
O prémio de economia, sobre a temática “Custos económicos e financeiros da sinistralidade rodoviária, relação de custo/beneficio na prevenção em Portugal” será dedicado à memória do Prof. Alfredo de Sousa, economista e ex-Reitor da Universidade Nova de Lisboa que foi mortalmente atropelado em Novembro-1994.

Pretende-se que os trabalhos temáticos devem perspectivar novas abordagens e participar activamente na identificação de soluções possíveis, tendentes a diminuir o número de acidentes rodoviários. Será dada especial atenção e preferência às abordagens da redução da velocidade nas estradas, e aos aspectos económicos da sinistralidade e da segurança.

Em 2001, ano em que morreram 54 000 pessoas nas estradas europeias, a UE estabeleceu a meta de diminuir para metade a taxa de mortalidade rodoviária até 2010. Apesar dos progressos realizados, o número de mortes nas estradas ainda atingiu as 43 000 em 2007, o que equivale a 5 desastres de avião na Europa por semana.

Os trabalhos são entregues até 21 de Novembro, on-line através do sítio da Fundação da Juventude - www.fjuventude.pt/a-vida-num-minuto

EU endorses IFRIC 12 for accounting for PPP

On 12-June-2008, the European Commission endorsed IFRIC 12 guidance for accounting for service concessions on the part of the concessionaires-operators.

IFRIC 12 is an "interpretation". A more formal "standard" of accounting for PPP will be defined in due course.

According to the EU study, companies note that it is hard, but useful to identify whether their contracts were in fact in the scope of IFRIC 12 or of another standard or interpretation. This helps companies to clarify different kinds of risk exposure and assess the underlying risk allocation and performance of each type of contract. Therefore, IFRIC 12 can have positive effects for internal management purposes.

IFRIC 12 applies to service concessions when grantor (Concedente) regulates/controls the service to be provided by the operator and has residual interest in the infra (reversão). Service concessions then fall under two classifications:
1. The concessionaire/operator books a financial asset if it has unconditional right to receive explict cash revenues from the grantor (pagamento por disponibilidade); “revenues” under previous fixed asset classification are replaced by “reimbursement of financial asset”
2. operator books intangible asset if its revenues are contingent on the public using the infrasructure and paying the tolls (portagem ou contagem ) ; progressive amortization (lower than straight line) of toll licence in line with consumption/utilization is allowed

Principal impacts for the concessionaires
1) reclassification of tangible fixed assets as either financial assets or intangible assets requires evaluation of risk allocation, especially of traffic risk, which is the major test and brings value added to contract management
2) less amortization, less capitalization of interest during operations
3) IFRIC 12 useful in assessing risk exposure and performance under service concession contracts

IFRIC 12 applies to accounting by the concessionaires.

Eurostat norms which apply to public sector accounting, which apply to the accounting by the Concedent or grantor of the public service concession.

Capacity building will directly compliment this component by helping the ministries prepare multi-year capital development programs for incorporation in the government’s annual national budget. Building project management capacity will improve and strengthen processes, systems and staff competencies for project management in the Ministry of Infrastructure.

Description
Job Level: Senior-Level
Estudo de identificação do Projecto de Apoio Institucional (10º FED)
Lieu : Luanda - Angola Date limite pour le CV : 21/07/2008 E-Mail: r.cina@arsprogetti.com
Required Positions: 3 experts ( 1 CAT I et 2 CAT II)
DESCRIÇAO DA MISSAO Objectivo geral : O objectivo principal de intervenção nesta área é contribuir para o desenvolvimento das capacidades institucionais em Angola. A principal justificação para a intervenção da CE é a necessidade do GdA de fortalecer as suas instituições. As debilidades em termos de capital humano são um problema recorrente que impedem o Estado em geral, e a Administração Publica em particular, de desempenharem o seu papel nas áreas de gestão e planificação. Objectivo especifico : O objectivo especifico é a realização do estudo de identificação. O estudo deverá identificar claramente o quadro de referência legal e especificar devidamente a área do apoio institucional tendo em conta as necessidades de desenvolvimento de competências. A avaliação que a missão fará de todos os elementos considerados pertinentes, incluindo os que foram mencionados anteriormente, deverá ter em conta o valor acrescentado duma futura intervenção da CE na área do apoio institucional.

O estudo deverá identificar, nas condições acima referidas, as acções do apoio institucional a desenvolver nos dois Ministérios seguintes:
Ministério do Planeamento: - Apoio aos Serviços do Ordenador Nacional: o actual projecto do apoio que se caracteriza, nomeadamente, por um importante programa de formação (formação técnica, FED, Contabilidade, línguas) termina a 31/12/2008; convém fazer o ponto da situação das acções desenvolvidas e identificar o apoio futuro quer no que se refere à formação quer em outras acções pertinentes (base de dados etc.). - Apoio ao Secretariado SADC : O Secretariado SADC é uma unidade técnica (5 técnicos) que, no seio do Ministério do Planeamento, está encarregue da implementação e seguimento das medidas nacionais com vista à sua conformidade com o programa de integração regional SADC. Nesta qualidade, o Secretariado SADC é uma força motriz do Comité Nacional SADC angolano cujo papel é coordenar a política nacional para promover a integração regional SADC. A missão deverá, nomeadamente, analisar no seio do Secretariado as necessidades em termos de peritos a médio ou curto prazo, apoio à formação, apoio à implementação de uma rede de informação entre os Ministérios e o Secretariado SADC, a organização de missões de curta duração do Secretariado junto dos organismos nacionais, regionais ou internacionais no sector do comércio e integração regional. - Apoio ao Instituto Nacional de Estatística: O INE é responsável pela elaboração de estatísticas sobre matérias fundamentais da vida económica e social angolana. Partilha essa responsabilidade com o Banco Central. Está na fase final um plano de médio prazo para desenvolver uma Estratégia Nacional de Estatística. Este plano deverá ser acompanhado de outros dois planos, sendo um deles – a elaborar - para o desenvolvimento dos recursos humanos e outro para o desenvolvimento dos sistemas de informação (com o apoio do Banco Mundial). O INE tem igualmente necessidade de funcionar em coordenação com os diferentes Ministérios e estabelecimentos públicos. A missão deverá examinar as necessidades prioritárias do INE – para a elaboração de estatísticas regulares – em termos de capacidade e qualificação, de formação e de produção de estatística (nomeadamente desenvolver com os Ministérios chave tais como da Saúde, Educação, Agricultura, Energia e Águas). Analisará também os apoios passados ou em curso dados pelos doadores (CE, Noruega, Brasil) a fim de identificar como é que a intervenção da CE pode trazer um melhor valor acrescentado (prioridade, eficácia): - Coordenação da ajuda : Este ponto é referido apenas “pour mémoire”. Na sequência das eleições legislativas (Setembro de 2008), a CE irá propor ao Ministério do Planeamento um apoio técnico para a identificação e implementação de um plano de coordenação das ajudas ao desenvolvimento, e, caso seja necessário, a criação de uma base de dados com os apoios provenientes dos parceiros para o desenvolvimento. Nesta fase, não está previsto avançar com o estudo de identificação porque o Ministério do Planeamento ainda não indicou as linhas directrizes deste projecto. No entanto, importa referir este ponto, a fim de prever a reserva de fundos e estar à altura de corresponder a um pedido que poderá ser feito no 2º semestre de 2008.
• Apoio ao Ministério da Justiça e ao Estado de direito O Ministério da Justiça é um Ministério chave como guardião e actor do Estado de direito. Todavia, quer seja no sector social, penal ou das liberdades públicas (DDH, este Ministério dificilmente cumpre o seu papel, devido à sua fraca capacidade (organização, programação, recursos humanos). Muitos sectores devem ser reforçados: Tribunal de menores, mediação familiar, luta contra o tráfico de droga, assistência jurídica, gestão administrativa do Secretariado Geral, gestão patrimonial, gestão dos recursos humanos, estatística, estado civil, Instituto de formação de Estudos Judiciários, base de dados. Competirá ao perito determinar os sectores prioritários de intervenção e propor as acções pertinentes, tendo em conta os apoios já dados ao sector. No que se refere ao Tribunal Supremo e à Procuradoria da República existem também debilidades na organização e programação dos trabalhos a efectuar e na disponibilidade de recursos humanos adequados para dar resposta à carga de trabalho; o perito deverá também determinar com esses dois organismos os dossiers prioritários e os pontos de aplicação de um eventual apoio da Comissão.
Resultados do Estudo : Formulação do programa de apoio institucional. Com base nas primeiras orientações e nos resultados do estudo acima mencionado, esta componente da missão contemplará o desenho de uma estratégia de intervenção, de um programa específico na área do apoio institucional, de acordo com as directrizes e requisitos indicados pela Delegação da CE e da EuropeAid. A missão deverá analisar e propor cenários possíveis para a implementação do projecto. A missão deverá adoptar uma abordagem participativa relativamente à formulação do projecto através de entrevistas com as partes governamentais interessadas assim como com os outros doadores presentes no País. A selecção das partes interessadas a consultar deverá ser feita com o apoio do ON e da Delegação da CE. Para formular uma proposta de projecto, a missão terá que: - Efectuar uma análise detalhada sobre a pertinência, viabilidade, sustentabilidade e impacto social da intervenção estratégica proposta, com atenção particular aos riscos e condicionalismos ligados ao projecto; - Formular uma proposta de implementação do projecto identificando e incluindo objectivos globais e específicos, e resultados a obter, assim como, pormenorizar actividades a desenvolver no País. A missão detalhará igualmente as condições a satisfazer e as medidas a adoptar fora do âmbito directo do projecto, afim de assegurar a aplicação eficaz do mesmo, observando uma “corrente de impacto” lógica das diferentes actividades e níveis de intervenção (macro, médio e micro); - Delinear as metodologias e os métodos de trabalho do projecto, incluindo a viabilidade e condições para uma abordagem participativa, baseada em necessidades ("demand-driven") e com um valor acrescentado real a nível nacional. Mais particularmente, os métodos de gestão e de financiamento terão que assegurar a sustentabilidade das actividades específicas empreendida através do projecto; - Delinear os termos de referência (TdR) dos diferentes componentes do projecto de acordo com a estratégia de implementação proposta; - Desenhar indicadores e meios de verificação e de avaliação do projecto quanto a progresso, eficiência, eficácia e impacto do projecto; - Desenhar um modelo de monitorização do projecto sob responsabilidade partilhada dos parceiros nacionais; - Definir o quadro institucional e as modalidades de implementação do projecto; - Identificar os factores específicos que asseguram a sensibilidade dos géneros, a sustentabilidade e a apropriação do projecto por parte dos parceiros e beneficiários directos e/ou indirectos; - Prever todas as suposições, riscos e condições relevantes para a implementação do projecto; - Calcular os recursos necessários e um orçamento detalhado do projecto.
