Project scope and objective

The financing consists in a Senior A Loan of up to US$ 30 million to Banco Internacional S.A. with a tenor of up to 5 years. The loan will be in a single committed tranche: (i) up to US$ 15 million from the Inter-American Investment Corporation (“IDB Invest” or “CII”); and (ii) up to US$ 15 million from the Inter-American Development Bank (“IDB”). The purpose of this financing is to increase access to capital investment and working capital loans for SMEs. As a complement to this financing, it is expected to have a Technical Assistance ("TA") component of non-reimbursable resources. The main objective of this TA is to develop a green credit strategy and thus promote the creation of green financial products for SMEs.
