Project scope and objective

The proposed transaction consists in a guarantee denominated in bolivianos (BOB) for up to US$15 million to support an issuance in the Bolivian market of Social Gender Bonds in the amount of US$30 million by Banco Solidario, S.A. (“Banco Sol” or the “Bank”), to be financed by IDB Invest (the “Project”). 

IDB Invest will issue a Partial Credit Guarantee (PCG) for up to 50% of the bond issue in order to improve the rating profile of Banco Sol’s issuance.

The resources of the bond will be used to finance micro and small-sized enterprises (“MSEs”) as well as MSEs owned and/or led by women so as to increase their productive investments and economic development.
