FINEXPO EVALUATION<br />
• a survey among the 38 Belgian companies with clients that have made use of the<br />
State-to-State loans and interest relief instruments of FINEXPO;<br />
• a sample out of those 38 companies.<br />
A broad survey among all international Belgian companies would be beyond the Terms of<br />
Reference of this evaluation, while a survey among firms that applied for FINEXPO<br />
support would have the characteristics of a client satisfaction survey. A client satisfaction<br />
survey has been implemented by FINEXPO in July 2008.<br />
In adherence to the Terms of Reference the two last options are relevant.<br />
As shown in graphs 1 and 2 and table 2, the population of Belgian firms with clients that<br />
have made use of the loans and interest relief instruments of FINEXPO is heterogeneous<br />
in sectors concerned, but more homogeneous as far as it concerns the use of the<br />
instrument (55% of the companies only once) and amount of credit involved (50 % less<br />
than 1 %). This characteristic calls for a sample rather than for a survey (statistical<br />
representativeness depends on the variance per variable).<br />
Sampling for the survey among Belgian companies<br />
The Terms of Reference indicate field studies in Ghana and Vietnam. That implies that<br />
the companies involved in transactions with these two countries will be subject to an<br />
interview anyhow.<br />
A closer analysis of the transactions in these two countries shows a fairly good<br />
representation (in terms of number of contract per company, share of total credit and<br />
services provided) of the entire population (the 38 companies), while this can be<br />
increased substantially taking into consideration all FINEXPO transactions of the same<br />
Belgian company, but not restricted to Ghana and Vietnam.<br />
The number of Belgian companies with clients in Ghana and Vietnam that make use of<br />
FINEXPO is of 14, i.e. 37% of all Belgian companies with clients making use of FINEXPO.<br />
The total credit invested in Vietnam and Ghana is € 149.2 million, being 27.1 % of the<br />
total € 550.3 million credit. For Vietnam alone this is 9.8% and for Ghana 17.3%.<br />
The total number of interventions counting with FINEXPO State-to-State loans and<br />
interest relief is 27, being 25% of the 108 interventions.<br />
Compared to the distribution of Belgian companies over the various sectors as<br />
distinguished by FINEXPO, the companies with activities in Ghana and Vietnam happen to<br />
be rather representative, with the exception of the following sectors: ICT hardware and<br />
software; contracting works (including construction) and water purification and supply or<br />
distribution. The relation between the total population and the activities in Ghana and<br />
Vietnam is shown in graph 5.<br />
