Lesson
Well-conceived and structured TA associated with the program addressed the obstacles presented by system inefficiencies and limited capacity. Survey data and other forms of monitoring can be subject to local manipulation by incumbents and unintended beneficiaries. A related problem is rent-seeking in local agencies and the government can similarly distort monitored data, and misdirect public transfer payments and other benefits.

The complication arose from the government’s decision, during SP2, to inject the other half of the anticipated policy output units into the subprogram, by extending it by another 5 months. This put considerable work and budget pressure on the project team. And that may have been a factor in the inability to fully achieve several output actions in time for this report.

Lesson
The interim restructuring of the program, at the request of the government, lowered the total program cost to the government. It also put greater emphasis on the program’s design features than on embedding the program deeper within public institutions. This may have been fiscally expedient but will have long-term costs that are hard to measure now. The government may have employed the program’s national consultants after it decided to fund SP2 and SP3, but ADB is unlikely to receive information on the results.

Better coordination with Australian Aid was an explicit part of the PRMAP from the beginning. Adjustments to ADB’s country strategy and the design of follow-on programs may be better informed if there is sharing of information during and after each intervention.

The post-program monitoring framework (PPMF) is a useful instrument in helping ensure the sustainability of reforms and providing a basis for continued ADB dialogue and support. The PPMF was a useful input to the design of the ADB policy-based loan supporting the Financial Market Development and Integration Program in 2012. It is also a good practice for ADB to support a post-monitoring program with technical assistance. However, the PPMF should monitor not only actions and outputs but also outcomes.

The coverage of accompanying TA to support implementation of the reforms should match the scope and complexity of the program. The $1.5 million TA project was aimed at supporting the continuation of the reforms beyond the CMDPC, including the policy measures in the post-program monitoring framework. The other TA project amounting to $1.2 million TA project, with limited components, supported the implementation of a $600 million loan program with 93 policy actions to be completed by several government agencies.

Lesson
Program design should be focused and selective, with a limited number of policy actions to ensure effective implementation and monitoring. The CMDPC supported a complex program with 93 policy actions (46 for subprogram 1 and 47 for subprogram 2). Limiting the number of policy actions in a program is consistent with the IED recommendations in the evaluation of ADB assistance to capital market development in 2008.

Lesson
The long-term nature of capital market development requires a road map with clear sequencing and prioritization of reforms as well intermediate and long-term outcomes, with periodic updating. A longer term and flexible framework for reforms, supported by a timely monitoring and evaluation system, would provide a context for the phasing of reforms and identifying the content of specific programs which typically cover 3–5 year periods.

Multiple developmental financial institutions can work effectively together to create new institutions. All of the agencies involved provided equity and/or debt financing in sufficient amounts to meet the capitalization target and on a coordinated basis to allow IIF to formulate and staff its operations with its own independent management. This project appears to be an important benchmark for cooperative ventures both within ADB (sovereign and nonsovereign operations) and among institutions.
