Lessons learned (i)

Municipal business has systemic risks: focus on key
markets

Weak institutional/legal frameworks lengthen lead times
significantly

Secondary cities are often best partners

Municipalities are not the only partners --- regional
authorities are important

Good management of triangular relationship BankGovernment-Local Authority --- need for a “champion of
reform”
8
Lessons learned (ii)

Establish strategic relationships with interested
commercial banks

Overall country perception hides a wide range of local
authority quality

Graduation based on track record mitigates risks (and
local authorities are interested in publicity of municipal
loans, which come at a cost)

Average investment size tends to be small
