FINEXPO EVALUATION
D - Analysis: benchmarking
The analysis has been completed by benchmarking similar tools used by Denmark,
France, Germany, Netherlands and Spain. This concerns the range of highly concessional
(at least 35%) export subsidy activities to least developed countries and HIPC countries,
subject to the corresponding OECD-DAC Arrangements. The main objective of this
benchmarking is to draw lessons and provide arguments for the elaboration of
conclusions and recommendations.
The Desk Report (November 2009, chapter 5) provided a list of programmes that
potentially could serve as benchmark for FINEXPO. That gross range of programmes has
been further specified based on the following selection criteria 56 :
1. The export support programme should receive funding from either the national /
federal budget or –in absence thereof – from the public budget at regional (or
state) level.
2. (Part of) the export support should be classified as ODA.
3. The programme (or at least one component) should be used for the export of or
supply of equipment from (in part) national origin.
Application of these criteria leads to the following inventory of programmes:
