Project scope and objective
Multinational Industrial Fund is a US$80 million Mexican private equity fund that will seek to earn long-term capital gains by investing in equity and quasi-equity securities of small and medium-sized Mexican companies entering into joint ventures with foreign companies to generate exports. The Fund will have a life of ten years.
The proposed transaction is in line with IICs developmental goals, since (i) the Fund will support the creation and expansion of small and medium-scale enterprises in Mexico without access to equity capital; (ii) it will support private investment to create joint ventures of local firms with European firms to transfer technology and promote export sales; (iii) through stock market exit it will foster democratization of capital; and (iv) the Fund will reach some fifteen final beneficiaries over its expected life; creating about 300 jobs, and contributing US$300 million to the country's GDP.

Environmental and social review

The ESDD will confirm the project E&S categorization and assess the project with respect to the client requirements in IDB Invest Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy. 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.
