Appendix D - U.S. Government Programs to Assist Exporters

A number of government and government-funded programs directly or indirectly support the export of U.S. environmental technologies to Colombia. The following is a brief description of these programs and the assistance they offer to U.S. businesses.

U.S. Agency for International Development

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) administers a number of environmental and social development programs throughout the world. Environmental programs are implemented through USAID’s Center for Environment and the Latin America and Caribbean Bureau. These programs seek to promote environmental sustainable development in the largest export markets for the United States while preserving the global environment through reductions in greenhouse gases and maintaining biodiversity. A number of USAID-sponsored programs seek to provide assistance to U.S. companies doing business in Latin America. These include the following:

Center for Trade & Investment Service (CTIS): CTIS is a Washington-based information center for USAID programs and activities in various sectors such as environment, energy, agribusiness, health, and training. CTIS offers valuable counseling assistance to small and medium-sized businesses interested in pursuing contracting and procurement with USAID, and proactively distributes materials on these opportunities. CTIS develops and disseminates sector-specific guides about USAID programs and activities. Its key publications include Guide to Business Assistance Programs for Energy and Environment; Latin America and the Caribbean: A Resource Guide; and Financing Guide: Latin America and the Caribbean. Tel: (202) 663 2660 or (800) 872 4348; fax: (202) 663 2670.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has worked numerous times with the Colombian Ministry of Environment to provide a range of technical assistance in environmental assessment, technologies review, and environmental management. Contact Sylvia Correa, EPA Office of International Activities, tel: (202) 564 6443; fax: (202) 565 2411.

U.S. Trade and Development Agency

The U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) helps U.S. companies pursue overseas business opportunities by funding feasibility studies, sponsoring orientation visits, conducting specialized training and business workshops, and providing other forms of technical assistance. The agency focuses primarily on infrastructure development projects. By funding feasibility studies that evaluate the technical, legal, economic, and financial aspects of development projects, USTDA provides U.S. companies with an opportunity to get in on the “ground floor” of a project. These studies also advise project sponsors about the availability of specific U.S. equipment and services.

USTDA actively markets its programs in nine Latin American countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela). It also considers especially attractive projects in other countries and in the past has funded projects in Colombia. At present, however, neither Colombian nor Cuban projects are being funded. Tel: (703) 875 4357; fax: (703) 875 4009; e-mail: info@tda.gov; Web: www.tda.gov.

Bankers’ Association for Foreign Trade

BAFT operates the Access to Export Capital Program (AXCAP), a national database of financiers and government agencies that are involved in trade finance and the services they offer. AXCAP also contains a national inventory of services offered by government export credit agencies, including Export-Import Bank, Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and Small Business Administration.

Appendix J - Financing Options for Environmental Exports

A number of funding options were mentioned in this report. See chapter 6 for an overview.

The United States reviews Colombia’s antidrug efforts each year, and in years when the United States is not satisfied - most recently in 1997 - financing options that involve the United States (such as International Development Bank loans) are severely constrained.

Multilateral Financing Sources

World Bank: The World Bank is the largest financier of environmental infrastructure projects worldwide. Its numerous publications include Environment Matters, which summarizes its environmental operations. The World Bank conducts one-day seminars on upcoming business opportunities developing within the Bank. The program includes strategies on how to stay informed about projects, upcoming contracts, and how to pursue foreign investment opportunities. The World Bank publishes Facing the Global Challenge: A Progress Report on the World Bank Global Environment Operations, which summarizes its portfolio of environmental projects.

The two institutions affiliated with the World Bank Group that deal with the private sector are the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA).

The IFC provides both loan and equity financing to private-sector projects unable to obtain financing from other sources on reasonable terms. IFC also offers quasi-equity and financial risk management products. Tel: (202) 473 0642; fax: (202) 334 8705; Web: www.ifc.org. Latin America contact: Karl Voltaire, tel: (202) 473 0558; fax: (202) 522 2630.

MIGA was established in 1988 to encourage the flow of foreign direct investment in developing member countries. It provides investment guarantees against the risks of currency transfer, expropriation, and war and civil disturbance (“political risks”), and certain noncommercial risks to foreign investors in developing member countries. MIGA can insure new investments originated in any member country and destined for any developing member country. New investment contributions associated with the expansion, modernization, or financial restructuring of existing projects are also eligible. The maximum amount of coverage MIGA will issue for a single project is currently $50 million. Tel: (202) 4736163; fax: (202) 522 2630; Web: www.miga.org. Latin America contact: Stine Andresen, tel: (202) 473 6157; fax: (202) 522 2630.

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB): The IDB was established in 1959 to help accelerate economic and social development in Latin America and the Caribbean. Its original membership included 19 Latin American and Caribbean countries and the United States. Subsequently, eight other Western Hemisphere nations, including Canada, joined the IDB. It has also developed links with many industrialized countries on other continents, and in 1974 the Declaration of Madrid was signed to formalize their entry into the IDB. Eighteen nonregional countries joined between 1976 and 1993. Today membership totals 46 nations. The Inter-American Investment Corporation, an autonomous affiliate of the IDB, was established to promote the economic development of its 34 member countries by financing small and medium-size private enterprises.

The IDB has mobilized financing for projects that represent a total investment of $206 billion, and its annual lending has grown from $294 million in 1961 to $6.7 billion in 1996.

Its operations cover the entire spectrum of economic and social development. In the past, IDB lending emphasized the productive sectors of agriculture and industry; the physical infrastructure sectors of energy and transportation; and the social sectors of environmental and public health, education, and urban development. Current lending priorities include poverty reduction and social equity, modernization and integration, and the environment.

The IDB also has several programs to assist the private sector. The Private Sector Department has a program to provide long-term financing and guarantees for larger private infrastructure projects.

U.S. Bilateral Funding and Financing Sources

Several U.S. government agencies support U.S. companies interested in exporting technologies and services. U.S. companies can research each of these agencies through their websites or contact them directly for more information.

Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank): The Ex-Im Bank provides export credit support either to U.S. exporters on a short-term basis or to foreign purchasers on a longer-term basis (2 to 10 years). Through loan guarantees and insurance, the agency fosters exports by making working capital available to U.S. exporters. Alternatively, through similar mechanisms plus the extension of direct loans (and, on occasion, grants), Ex-Im Bank provides credit at attractive interest rates to foreign buyers to encourage their purchase of U.S. goods and services. Ex-Im Bank does not compete with commercial lenders, but assumes the risks they cannot accept.

Ex-Im Bank has designed a special Environmental Exports Program that will provide enhanced levels of support for a broad range of environmental exports. The program demonstrates Ex-Im Bank’s resolve to reach out to small and large exporters of environmental products and services. The major features of the program are the following:

Fax: 1 202 565 3380
Web: www.exim.gov

The Private Export Funding Corporation (PEFCO): PEFCO is a consortium of private lenders that acts as a supplemental lender to traditional export financing sources. It works with Ex-Im Bank by using private capital to finance U.S. exports. PEFCO makes loans to public and private borrowers located outside the United States who require medium- and long-term financing on purchases of U.S. goods and services through traditional lenders or suppliers. In all cases, the loans made by PEFCO must be covered by the comprehensive guarantee of repayment of principal and interest by Ex-Im Bank.

The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC): OPIC finances medium- to long-term investment projects through loan guarantees and direct loans. Direct loans are geared for small businesses or cooperatives and usually range between $2 million and $10 million. Loan guarantees range between $10 million and $100 million. OPIC protects U.S. business activities in emerging markets through its Investment Insurance Programs against (1) currency inconvertibility (the inability to convert profits, debt service, and other investment remittances from local currency to U.S. dollars), (2) expropriation (loss of investment resulting from expropriation, nationalization, or confiscation by a foreign government), and (3) political instability resulting from war, revolution, or civil strife. The insurance programs also can be used to cover expanding investments. OPIC also offers the Small Contractor’s Guarantee Program, which assists small-business construction and service contractors. Through its investment missions, OPIC promotes U.S. business by bringing groups of U.S. executives to a selected number of countries to meet with host country government officials, local business leaders, and potential joint venture partners. Reverse missions bring foreign government officials and local business leaders to the United States to meet with their counterparts.

U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA): USTDA is an independent federal agency with over $40 million dedicated to assisting U.S. companies with overseas business opportunities in developing countries and those countries responding to foreign competition. It sponsors feasibility studies, definitional missions, and desk studies for major public- and private-sector projects in order to promote the use of U.S. goods and services in project implementation.

Projects that the agency has listed as priorities include energy, infrastructure, and natural resource development. Funding from the agency usually ranges from $150,000 to $750,000 for public-sector projects. TDA Pipeline, its biweekly newsletter, highlights new definitional missions, feasibility study opportunities (also advertised in Commerce Business Daily), USTDA/World Bank project announcements, and upcoming orientation visits and conferences.

U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA): SBA has an Export Finance Program that guarantees up to $750,000 for either short- or long-term loans to help small businesses increase their export sales. This program assists small businesses requiring capital to expand sales or manufacturing for international markets, and meets their working capital needs. Loan proceeds may not be used to establish operations overseas.

In addition to these agencies, several other bilateral resources provide financial assistance to U.S. environmental technology and services exporters. These include the following:

Latin America Fund for the Environment: This fund is administered by the National Association of State Develop-ment Agencies. It provides grants to U.S. firms to facilitate the transfer of environmentally responsible technologies between the United States and Latin America. Each matching grant (not to exceed $10,000) is intended to serve as a catalyst to draw small to medium-sized U.S. companies into Latin American markets. Companies are required to match 50 percent of the total project costs.

OPIC Allied Capital International Small Business Fund: This $20 million equity fund invests in OPIC-designated countries. Eligible companies are small U.S. businesses seeking risk capital to expand overseas. The preferred investment size is $2 million to $5 million. One of the sectors targeted by the fund is environmental services.
