KUKE engaged actoRx to conduct economics and strategic advisory services focusing on change and operations. We supported the Polish ECA regarding foundations, mandate, strategic directions and transformation. Furthermore, actoRx supported regarding new and amended products, comprising an assessment of most recent trends, challenges and opportunities regarding public offerings in times of Covid-19. We also helped KUKE to develop a new guarantee product for financing mainly domestic investments for exporters.

Background

Shortcomings of markets result in continuous financing gaps for research, development and innovation as well as capital expenditure. Long tenures for financing often do not match return requirements for commercial banks. Projects can also create significant transaction costs and risks to be addressed with financial instruments. Imperfect information or asymmetries between potential transaction partners prevent mutually beneficial investment from occurring, and this results in unmet demand for financing.

Approach

In addition to strategy consulting for KUKE, actoRx helped to draft a coherent approach for an innovative product supporting exporters, defining the opportunities, strategy and value proposition. Furthermore, the consultants looked at the product positioning and the roll out strategy. The assessment also focused on the questions how to implement pricing, underwriting and risk management approaches. In addition, actoRx provided a draft for general terms and conditions for a new guarantee product.
