Sources of finances – the 3Ts Tariffs: the $$$ paid by the users of the services Responsibility mainly at municipal and PU level Taxes: the $$$ provided by domestic taxpayers through governments Responsibility mainly at the national level in our region Transfers: the $$$ provided by foreign countries (grants) Further sources: Loans (commercial banks; develp. banks) Private sector investments Danube Water Conference • Vienna • 17.05.2017 • Frank Wiederkehr

2) Taxes Danube Water Conference • Vienna • 17.05.2017 • Frank Wiederkehr

3) Transfers Donor funds “all utilities rehabilitated, renewed and expanded the intake, production and distribution infrastructure, which – ultimately – is also a critical ingredient of the success. These investments programs could not have been financed from the utilities’ own resources (directly or through a commercial bank) and probably neither from the local or central government’s budgets. The development agencies role as grant or loan financier was thus critical.” Link to Review Link to Tool Danube Water Conference • Vienna • 17.05.2017 • Frank Wiederkehr

Making use of the sources of finances Financial leeway is needed Financing modalities: 3 Ts (commercial and/or development) banks with loans public private partnerships Fiscal decentralisation Varying combinations of efficiency improvements and tariff adjustments.
