STAGE TWO
SPECIFICS OF
THE MDB HEALTH SECTOR
We can now look at the specifics of MDB Health
Sector lending commitments, in the knowledge that the World Bank is by
far the dominant lender in the sector.
In this instance, we can draw upon the features
of a database assembled and copyrighted by Development Bank Associates
(DBA) in 2004, the MDB Health Database or MHD, which
includes 653 MDB health projects with a loan value of $37
billion, approved or planned from FY 1990 through 2008. In summary:
-
The projects
are in over 130 developing countries, from Afghanistan to
Zimbabwe, on all five continents.
-
They include 166
projects in Africa, 164 in Latin America, 124 in East Asia, 83
in Europe & Central Asia, 75 in South Asia, and 34 in the Middle
East & North Africa.
-
The top recipients of
MDB health operations, in terms of numbers of projects, are
Indonesia, India, Viet Nam, Argentina, and Brazil. The numbers
of projects per country range from one in Cape Verde or the
Central African Republic to 24 in Indonesia and 23 in India.
-
The average size of
health project loans or credits varies from $30 million in East
Asia to $40 million in Africa and Europe and Central Asia, to
$100 million in Latin America.
Hence we can see that MDB
health lending is almost ubiquitous in developing country regions on
all five continents.
MDB health commitments
are huge, diverse and continuing. So how can we identify what they
consist of, to see if there is any opportunity for us?
