PSD Firm Level
PF-01
Business Innovation
Definition: The client adopts or operationalizes a product, internal process, technology or financing structure that is new or not widely used in the domestic sector. Note that “product” includes both physical goods as well as financial products while “domestic sector” can refer to the national market in small countries and regional markets in larger countries. Innovations in supplier or client relationships are covered in the Market Linkages Improved or Expanded Indicator. IFIs who wish to gather additional information on the quality of the result reported may use ‘commentary’ to do so. The indicator captures the adoption or operationalization of innovative business practices, ranging from the financial structuring of the client company to the business processes it uses to deliver products/services. The indicator can be used to track innovative technology transfer without qualifying from where the technology originated. IFIs may wish to undertake more detailed assessment/monitoring of certain aspects of client innovation, but this serves as a good overall capture of innovation.
Unit: Yes/No, with commentary
PF-02
Market Linkages Improved or Expanded
Definition: The client improves existing or engages new kinds/additional forwards or backwards market linkages, including through its own integration. Note that forward/ backward refers to upstream/ downstream supply chain linkages rather than commodities contracts. Also note that Note that “improved” refers to those linkages that the client believes will provided an added-value to its market expansion whether this is because of improvements in technology- use or cheaper/faster service delivery. IFIs who wish to gather additional information on the quality of the result reported may use ‘commentary’ to do so.
Rationale: This indicator tracks IFI client’s improvement of existing or acquisition of new kinds of forward or backward market linkages. The client directly uses these linkages to expand market access. Examples of forward linkages include the sale of value added services and goods to other firms, such as for example the supply of fertilizers by manufacturing companies to agricultural firms, or customers, while backward linkages include the purchases of inputs from suppliers and service providers, for example sourcing raw materials for manufacturing or agro-processing among others. These linkages may be developed using licensing agreements, supplier sources, international sourcing/distribution, etc. This indicator varies from 'Business Innovation,' which only aims to track the development of innovative products and services by the client.
Unit: Yes/No, with commentary

PF-03
Market Share Increased
Unit: Yes/No, with commentary
PF-04
New Market Entry
Definition: The client enters a new market. Note that “market” refers to the relevant market and varies by country, sector, product and targeted beneficiaries. “Entry” is only relative to the client's own operations, and is denoted by establishment and commencement of sales. IFIs who wish to gather additional information on the quality of the result reported may use ‘commentary’ to do so.
Rationale: This indicator captures one level of an IFI client’s contribution to market competition namely, by entering a market. This indicator varies from the ‘Market Share Increased’ indicator, which applies to IFI clients who expanded their own market share. Hence, only one of these two indicators can be applicable to an IFI client at one time.
Unit: Yes/No, with commentary
PSD Market Level
PM-01
Entry of New Firms
DEFINITION: Additional private sector firms have entered the relevant market in which the client operates. Note that this indicator only applies in circumstances where PSD firm level competition indicators are applicable. IFIs who wish to gather additional information on the quality of the result reported may use ‘commentary’ to do so.
Rationale: This indicator seeks to capture an aspect of increased competition that may be related to the success of the client company. However, the observation of entry of new firms should not be attributed directly to the client’s activities and nor is it fully attributable to IFI interventions.
This indicator is applicable only if the IFI client is expected to attract other firms to the same market, and it should only be used if one of the firm-level PSD indicators “Market Entry” or “Market Share Increased” are used for a given client. However, it should be noted that the indicator may be tracked annually (throughout the project cycle) or in an evaluation/survey method.
Increased competition in the relevant market is often manifested by an increase in product or service quality or a decrease in product or service price, though these do not always indicate entry of new firms and may also result from the reaction of existing players in the relevant market to the new entrant. However, note that the entry of new firms into a market is easier to measure as compared to a change in strategy/positioning of existing firms in the relevant market.
Data for this indicator may be sourced by IFI clients who are able to report on the number of competitors in their respective markets (timing to be determined by the IFI) as this is an exercise any such entity would undertake as part of its operations. If needed, the IFI may then conduct market research to verify the data reported by the client.
