Project scope and objective
The IIC seeks to work with Banco Sofisa S.A. in helping small and medium-sized companies secure financing by guaranteeing up to 50% of loans booked by Sofisa, a local bank that is almost exclusively focused on SMEs in Brazil. By providing these partial loan guarantees, the IIC will allow Sofisa to extend a greater amount of financing to eligible companies than would normally be the case, due to the bank’s conservative exposure limitations. For the IIC, this program will allow it to extend lending to SMEs in local currency, thereby helping eligible companies that are not exporters and thus require local currency, rather than U.S. dollar, funding.
