Project scope and objective
The project consists of providing Banco Internacional S.A. (“Banco Internacional” or the “Bank”) with a renewable senior A/B loan of up to US$100 million, structured as follows: (i) an A loan of up to US$50 million to be funded by IDB Invest; and (ii) a B loan of up to US$50 million to be funded by other investors. The loan has a tenor of up to 3 years, with an option to renew for an additional three‑year period. The use of proceeds will support the growth of the Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (“SMEs”) portfolio.
Additionally, it is expected that the financing can be complemented with technical advisory services, defined jointly with Banco Internacional, to help strengthen its strategy and the development of its SMEs portfolio.
