Project scope and objective
The project consists of supporting Banco Bolivariano C.A. (“Banco Bolivariano” or the “Bank”), in the first issuance of a Biodiversity Bond in Ecuador. The total amount of the Bond will be up to US$120 million with a five-year term. IDB Invest will subscribe for a total amount of up to US$50 million. Other potential investors will participate with subscriptions of up to US$70 million. The proceeds from the bond will be used to promote and expand the financing of biodiversity-related projects and opportunities in Ecuador.
Additionally, IDB Invest, through Technical Advisory Services (“TA”), will support Banco Bolivariano in strengthening the measurement of the impact generated by its loan portfolio. This will be achieved by improving data collection and monitoring systems.

Environmental and social review

The results of the ESDD, including any identified gaps are described in the Environmental and Social Review Summary (ESRS) provided below. For projects approved as of 2016, any gaps with respect to IDB Invest's Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy at the time of the ESDD are addressed in the Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP) presented below, to comply with the date mentioned above.
