The loan will be disbursed monthly in U.S. dollars up to an amount equal to project advances already approved by the supervisor appointed by the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC).Once the contractor completes the works associated with one of the milestones, as these are defined in the contract, with prior review and validation from the work supervisor and the MOPC, the latter will grant a CRPago (certificate recognizing the obligation to pay) for the corresponding U.S. dollar amount. Once that certificate is issued it may not be revoked by a contract termination event and will be sold to a group of long-term investors through a contractual and trusts structure established prior to the close of financing. The cash resulting from this sale will be used to prepay an amount corresponding to principal and interest on the loan, which may again be disbursed based on progress made in the works.

The project consists of the construction, operation and maintenance of a 99 MW wind farm, its associated facilities, a 132kV 45km transmission line and 15km of service roads, to be located south of the province of Buenos Aires, 36km northwest of the city of Bahia Blanca, Argentina. The Project will sign a 20-year power purchase agreement (“PPA”) with the wholesale electric market administrator (“CAMMESA”) to inject energy to the national interconnection system (¨SADI¨) via the 132 kV Chañares substation, at a bidding price of US$61.50/MWh increased annually by an adjustment factor. Electrical studies were presented to the relevant authorities, which provided a favorable opinion to the Project´s interconnection specifications for the assigned node. The Borrower is expected to enter into an EPC contract covering civil and electromechanical works, and a turbine supply agreement for the turbines from a first-tier manufacturer and a long-term O&M contract. It has an estimated 18-month construction period, with construction starting by the first quarter of 2017. Wind resource has been assessed by DNV GL based on on-site wind measurements from October 2012 to March 2016, with average wind speeds of 8.6m/s at 81m hub height. The Project has a capacity factor of 50.6% and estimated annual energy production at P50 of 439.5GWh/year.Transaction Structure and Financing Highlights. The estimated total cost of the Project is of up to US$200 million, which will be financed through an IDB Group loan of up to US$50 million. The financial plan will be completed with the participation of a multilateral organization or export-credit agency as well as equity contributions for a 75/25 debt-to-equity ratio. The project will be required to meet the customary sizing criteria applied to wind projects, DSCR 1.30x for P9010-years and 1.00x for P991-year. The IDBG loan is expected to have a tenor of up to 15 years door-to-door. The project will have the security package customary for this type of project finance transactions.Development Impact. The Project will have positive developmental impacts, such as: (i) adding 99 MW of renewable capacity to the Argentinean grid, representing 15% of the total current NCRE installed capacity, thus decreasing thermal and hydro generation reliance and contributing to the 20% goal of NCRE by 2025; and (ii) displacing approximately 216,234 equivalent tons of carbon emissions per year. Financial additionality is strong as the tenor of the financing is 15 years door to door, a long tenor that is critical for the financial viability of this type of infrastructure projects, and which is simply not available in the local capital markets. Commercial banks have not structured project financing transactions in Argentina for the last 10 years and hence the participation of multilateral and bilateral agencies in this first round of the RenovAR program will be key to its success.

Particular emphasis will be on the following sectors: services (financial and non-financial), communications, renewable energy, agribusiness, and infrastructure. The geographical focus of the Fund is the CARICOM member and associate member states, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica (together, the “Region”). The investors in the Fund are among others: Export Development Canada, European Investment Bank, German Development Bank (DEG), IFC, Caribbean Development Bank, Development Bank of Latin America (CAF) and local pension funds.The objective of the project is to provide further resources to support private equity investments in the Caribbean region. On December 2015, the IIC Board of Executive Directors approved an initial investment of US$5.1 million in the Fund. With the current project, the IIC proposes to increase its initial investment by US$10.2 million to reach a total investment of US$15.3 million in the Fund. This increase in IIC’s commitment will strengthen and continue IIC’s partnership with the Fund. Also, IIC will reach the investment level required to obtain the right to a voting membership at the Joint Advisory Committee instead of being an observer member, and will enable the IIC to explore opportunities to co-invest and finance the portfolio companies of the Fund. The Fund now has a target size of US$200 million, a scale that will allow it to be successful and impactful and enable the Fund Manager to build a sustainable fund management platform in the Caribbean region for future successor funds.

The terms of the latter two loans are 23 years and 20 years, respectively.This project is the first IDB Invest loan made for a sanitation concession in Brazil and will help increase sanitation coverage in the region from 30% to 90% over the next 20 years, thereby ensuring that ultimately 100% of the effluent collected in the served area will be treated, thus directly benefiting approximately four million people. IDB Invest financing will permit improvements and the expansion in the sanitation services infrastructure for 15 municipalities in the Metropolitan Region of Recife by installing sewage treatment plants and pumping stations, increasing the number of residences connected to the sanitation system and adding approximately 440 km of new sewage collection pipeline, along with investments in improvements to existing sewage treatment plants.

Today, agricultural and aquacultural production is mainly located in the States of Sonora (near Hermosillo), Southern Baja California (near Melitón and Vizcaíno), Nayarit (shrimp farms), and on a smaller scale, in Culiacán, where mostly feed grain is still produced.NASE has driven its geographic diversification and constant operational growth through the purchase of new properties and water permits, thus achieving a greater market share and greater operating profit. NASE initially relied on 650 hectares for production, and now manages more than 4,962 hectares on 6,500 hectares of owned land. It is one of the leading Mexican groups in the production of tomatoes, peppers, and walnuts, a very fragmented sector. Tomatoes and peppers are produced using medium technology shade mesh. This type of production is carried out in regions where the climate allows it and highly technified greenhouses (glass) are not needed.NASE sells all its produce fresh. Vegetables are packaged on-site and sent to the American market. Walnuts undergo additional processing after the harvest and are then sent unhusked, mainly to the Asian market. As for the shrimp, it is sold in frozen portions in the Mexican and export markets.One of NASE's competitive advantages is its ability to produce throughout the year, especially during the winter season, since in general, during this period, open field vegetable production is only possible in Sinaloa, Mexico (mainly tomato), and in Florida, USA. This situation makes it possible for NASE to access the market when prices are higher in the US and Mexico.The proposed financing consists of a Committed Revolving Line without guarantee for US$ 15 million for a term of three years, with annual amortizations (“clean-ups”). The aim of this transaction is to substitute the credit lines from fertilizer and agricultural input suppliers, thereby extending the current term of only 180 days, which does not match the production cycles (between 180 days and more than 300 days for walnuts), to 360 days[1]. The financing will be used as working capital, mainly for the purchase of raw materials such as seeds, fertilizers, and for various agricultural works, as well as for purchasing inputs and financing works in the production of farmed shrimp (hereinafter “the Project”).The Project is consistent with IDB's regional strategy for Mexico, which focuses on stimulating the productivity of companies, potentiating the development of the economy and rural communities, and promoting sustainable business models by identifying competitive players in the region.[1] Today, the company relies on long-term bank financing with a working capital component, which has to be liquidated within 180 days.

The desalinization plant will be located on the coast of the Playas de Rosarito municipality, Baja California. The site’s total area comprises 20 hectares and borders the Presidente Juárez Thermoelectric Plant (TP), operated by the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE). The reverse osmosis desalinization plant will share a seawater intake system and a water discharge channel with the TP in order to reduce any potentially harmful environmental impacts. The proximity to the sea, the closeness between the plant and the delivery point, the reliable and adequate energy supply, as well as the close location to the thermoelectric plant, cooled with seawater, were the main factors behind the selection of this site. The project would include two phases: 1) an initial 2.2 cubic meters per second (m3/s) and 2) an additional 2.2 cubic meters planned for 2024. When operating at full capacity (phase 2), the plant will have a treatment capacity of 4.4 cubic meters per second, and will require 80 megawatts (MW) of energy (40 MW per phase). The Project will also include a 29-kilometer-long aqueduct from the desalinization plant to two delivery points at the storage tanks of the Comisión Estatal de Servicios Públicos de Tijuana (CESPT), the state entity that will receive the water from the project. The aqueduct will have a nominal capacity of 4.4 m3/s, once the two phases are completed; its route will mostly follow the right of way (ROW) of other existing infrastructure such as the Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) polyduct, the CFE’s high voltage transmission towers and some public roads.

To address this situation, in November 2016, the Government of Argentina enacted the Argentinean Public-Private Partnerships Law (Law 27,328 or the “PPP Law”). This law updated the framework for participation, partnership and contracting between the public and private sectors, incorporating and adopting best practices on public-private partnerships in the region in the preparation, tendering and financing of infrastructure projects. Under this new legal framework, the Government of Argentina expects to develop (by 2025) around 60 investment projects in the transport, energy, communications, education and health sectors with a total value of US$69 billion, of which close to US$30 billion is expected to be provided by the private sector.The Highways and Safe Routes Network Program (“RARS” for its acronym in Spanish)—whose objective is to redevelop, improve, extend and renovate the country’s highway network, as well as to enhance and improve signage and lighting on routes to improve safety conditions and reduce logistics costs in the country—is the first initiative prepared under the PPP Law. The first phase of the RARS (“RARS Phase I”) includes the concession of six road corridors (A, B, C, E, F and South) of national strategic importance, both in terms of the flow of people and goods (https://ppp.vialidad.gob.ar/proyecto-7/). These corridors cut through the provinces of Buenos Aires, Córdoba, La Pampa, Mendoza, San Luis and Santa Fe, which together account for most of the country’s employment and production, and cover an approximate total distance of 3,400 kilometers (km), including: 810 km of highways, 1,500 km of safe routes and 250 km of new access routes. The total estimated investment required for works on the six corridors in the first four years of the concessions (2018-2022) is approximately US$6.04 billion.The international public tender process to award Phase I of the six RARS corridors was initiated in November 2017, with the participation of 10 consortiums which together submitted 32 offers. In June 2018, the Government of Argentina awarded the concessions for the six corridors to five PPP contractors made up of local and international companies.The IDB Invest loan (hereinafter, “the Transaction”) will provide bridge financing for a subset of investment projects included in the RARS Phase I, which were selected based on their relevance within the RARS by the Argentine National Highway Department and the Ministry of Transport, after consulting with the PPP contractors. These projects will be financed in three phases: i) the first phase (Phase I), which includes eight individual projects, shall begin to be disbursed once the Loan has been signed by the parties (immediately following its approval by the IDB Invest Board of Directors), and once they have complied with the conditions established prior to disbursement; ii) the second phase (Phase II), which includes approximately 17 additional projects; and iii) the third phase (Phase III), which includes minor projects, construction works, toll booths and other related investments. Phase II and Phase III will begin to be disbursed as soon as it has been verified that the environmental and social information for each of these projects is substantially in accordance with the requirements contained in IDB Invest’s Sustainability Policy.

The Hotel, ten miles from downtown Montevideo and four miles from the international airport, opened in 1921. It was built in the French "Palais Royal" style. The building, declared a National Historic Monument in 1975, stands out as a city landmark on the banks of the River Plate, and is an integral part of Montevideo's architectural heritage. The Project contemplates bringing the hotel in line with the five-star international standard, with 118 rooms and all modern amenities and services for business travelers and international visitors. The Hotel houses a casino owned and operated by the Montevideo Municipal Government (Intendencia Municipal de Montevideo). The Project Sponsors have signed a license and management agreement with Marriott Hotels International to operate the Hotel under the "Marriott" flag. The proposed project is estimated to cost about US$20 million, of which the IIC would lend for up to US$6.5 million. Project implementation will begin in September 2001, with a view to opening the Carrasco Marriott Hotel by late 2003.The role of the IIC in the proposed transaction is important for the following reasons: It will promote foreign investment in Uruguay through long-term financing. It will improve the quality of hotel services and the business infrastructure in Montevideo, through the new convention center.The project will have a positive social and economic impact from various perspectives. It will create 90 direct jobs and 290 indirect jobs, and will give a boost to the construction sector during the initial years.

To that end, it will be necessary to retool three PMC GX 1000 machines (currently used for wax-coated cups) to process laminated cups, refurbish two 4 color flexographic printers, and purchase two dies to manufacture 4- and 6-ounce cups. These cup sizes are the most in demand in new market niches recently entered by the Company. Once these machines are upgraded, the Company will have the capacity to produce an additional 12 million cups a month, which will increase its production by approximately 80%. The project also seeks to increase the Company’s operating space. This will be achieved by purchasing a lot adjacent to its current facilities. A plant of approximately 2,000m2 (21,527 square feet) will be erected on this new lot. With this project, the IIC will be supporting the export manufacturing industry in Honduras since the Company is the leading manufacturer of laminated cups in Central America. The demand for this type of product has grown due to the natural growth of the beverage and fast-food industries.

With an installed capacity of 15.6 MW, the plant will be able to generate 131.5 GWh of clean power and 297,500 tons of steam per year. All of the steam and part of the power generated will be sold to Compañía Papelera del Pacífico S.A. (CPP), a shareholder of Energía Pacífico. The remainder will be sold to the central interconnected system. Commercial start-up of the plant is expected in the last quarter of 2009. The company plans to seek greenhouse gas reduction certification and obtain carbon credits under the Clean Development Mechanism provisions of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. With this operation, the IIC will be supporting the development of an electric power project in Chile by providing the long-term financing (up to twelve years) that such projects usually require. Chile’s burgeoning domestic demand, power generation shortfall, and dependence on imported fossil fuels indicate that its energy market fundamentals are sound and should encourage visionary companies such as Empresas Coipsa S.A. to invest in this sector in Chile.

Support a high value added industry: Power generation is a process that transforms resources and requires technology and infrastructure to do so. Its added value lies in providing power to remote communities with limited economic activity and in the multiplier effect achieved by improving the standard of living and opening opportunities for new productive activities in rural areas. Strengthen a medium-size company: The project will help the company manage growth and provide it with reasonable backup power generation potential and the ability to meet future demand. This will protect many jobs, which is unusual for power companies because most power plants are not as labor-intensive as Ternor, which manages thirteen plants in several provinces and islands in the Republic of Panama.Generate business for SMEs: Companies that transport fuel overland and by sea will benefit from serving Ternor's thirteen facilities throughout Panama. Companies that supply spare parts and occupational health and other services will also benefit from the company's day-to-day operations.Promote best production practices: Acquiring new equipment with the same features as the equipment already installed at the main power plant (Santa Fé) will not only ensure consistent, smooth operations and provide technological upgrades but will also help the company become a model of steady growth and efficient power generation that will benefit overall governance and operating productivity.

The total length covered by the project is about 82 kilometers, between the cities of Pando and Minas. The route is an important connecting link between the capital city (which is also the country's main port) with a region rich in agricultural production, rice production, cattle, wool and forestry products. Both Pando and Minas have significant industrial activity. Furthermore, Ruta 8 is the main road link with southern Brazil, and is thus an important corridor for Uruguayan exports and imports with this neighboring country. The Company will operate under a B.O.T. concession that will operate and receive the proceeds of the existing toll. The reconstruction of Ruta 8 aims at the improvement of traffic safety through the re-paving of deteriorated driving surfaces, reconstructing of shoulders, better signaling, illumination at intersections, and the construction of a two-level crossing at the intersection with Ruta 11, one of the most dangerous crossings in Uruguay. IIC's role in the proposed transaction is important for the following reasons: It will improve the road system, enhancing transportation efficiency between the capital city and one of the main productive regions of the country. It will also promote regional integration through a better communication with Brazil, Uruguay's main commercial partner. The re-paving of Ruta 8, the improvement of the signalization and illumination, and the new two-level crossing at the intersection with Ruta 11 will improve safety and contribute to the reduction of car accidents. The new operation will provide users with services such as medical emergency and mechanical assistance, which today are unavailable. The project will have a positive social and economic impact from various perspectives. It will create 30 direct jobs and significant number of indirect jobs.

The Company's manufacturing and administrative facilities are located in the town of Choloma, near the city of San Pedro Sula, Hondura's industrial center. The proposed project involves the expansion of Del Trópico's production facilities by moving some of its processes to new production facilities and expanding its production capacity. The project involves building 8,050 square meters of additional industrial space, buying and installing production equipment, enhancing the plant's environmental and labor conditions, improving its MIS systems by replacing hardware and acquiring new integrated software, as well as supplying the required working capital to support the increased production and sales stemming from the expansion. The increased production capacity stemming from the proposed expansion will be utilized to increase sales to Lane Venture as well as to diversify the Company's client base by developing the European and Latin American markets. Through the project, the following objectives will be achieved: Promote Technology Transfer. Del Trópico presently operates under a strategic alliance with Lane Venture, a major U.S. casual furniture manufacturer and distributor. Under this agreement, Del Trópico has not only been able to secure a stable market for its products in the U.S., but also to gain significant knowledge and absorb modern techniques applicable to the manufacturing of casual furniture. By providing funding for Del Trópico's modernization and expansion project, the Company will be able not only to expand its sales with Lane Venture, but also to develop new markets on its own. The knowledge acquired through years of association with Lane Venture and its main suppliers has allowed the Company to develop new production techniques, as well as design new lines of products aimed at lower price market niches. These factors are increasing the Company's competitiveness and market diversification, helping it move a step further in its consolidation as a world class furniture manufacturer. Support a Key Industry, Foreign Exchange/High Employment Generator. Through the proposed loan, the IIC will support the modernization and expansion of a manufacturing business that is already responsible for the employment of 426 Honduran workers and for the generation of a significant amount of foreign exchange due to its export oriented activities. Through the proposed expansion and modernization project, the Company will generate an additional 600 jobs and help the Honduran balance of payments by providing additional foreign exchange for the country. A total of approximately US$68 million of additional foreign exchange are expected to be generated by 2008 as a result of the project. This role is of particular importance at a time when Honduras is struggling to recover from the dramatic effects of Hurricane Mitch. Improve Environmental and Labor Conditions. The expansion project subject to the IIC's financing includes a series of investments that will enhance the already careful approach the Company takes with regard to the environment and to the safety of workers. Scarce Long-Term Financing. The IIC will provide long-term financing in appropriate conditions to help finance the expansion and modernization of a successful Honduran exporter. Long-term financing, particularly in the amounts required by this project, is difficult to obtain locally. By providing long-term funding, the IIC will allow Del Trópico to strengthen its financial structure, improve its competitive position, and develop new markets for its products, thus allowing it to better cope with the demanding conditions of the international markets where the Company sells its products. Quasi-equity Financing. By providing a sub-loan, the IIC is helping to strengthen the Company's capital structure and to turn the financial plan for the project into a viable proposition. Equity is the most scarce form of capital financing in the Honduran financial market. By providing quasi-equity, the IIC is strengthening and stabilizing the Company's balance sheet. By providing a longer grace period and the flexibility to defer principal payments when necessary, the sub-loan would permit the Company to implement its expansion and consolidate its new markets without having to face the additional pressure on its cash flow that senior debt would impose.

Once harvested, the fish are processed for sale as fillets for export and as gutted, whole fish. The fish scraps are used to make fish meal, one of the chief ingredients of balanced feed for animals, including fish. The project involves the following: Construction of an intensive tilapia farm with six concrete reproduction and initial growth ponds (fifteen to thirty days); thirteen earthen ponds, where the fish are kept until they weigh 80 grams; sixteen concrete canals where the tilapia are moved and kept until they weigh 350 grams, and thirty-two grow-out canals where they attain 900 grams, which is the best weight for obtaining fillets for export. Building an emergency pumping station, a laboratory, and a central warehouse. Building a fillet processing plant capable of processing up to 4000 tons of tilapia yearly. Purchasing machinery and equipment for the processing plant. Acquiring brood stock and developing biomass for ensuring year-round farm and processing plant operations. The project will cost an estimated US$8.5 million, of which the IIC will provide US$2.8 million in the form of a long-term loan.

The project will also increase the Company's capacity to recycle waste paper. The IIC's financing is primarily for this component of the project. Santher's modernization projects will reduce costs (via the increased ability to use more and lower quality waste paper and a series of energy savings initiatives), increase productivity (via improved process control and Company-wide investments in information technology), as well as to improve the handling of waste generated from paper production (through sales to ceramics producers, land filling and composting). The main investments are at the Bragança Paulista plant and include the installation of a second sanitary napkin machine (US$7.7 million), machinery to produce panty liners — a new product— (US$1.3 million), and an increase in capacity of the waste paper recycling plant output to 150 tons per day from 100 tpd (US$6.8 million). Other significant investments are: the upgrading of information technology Company-wide (US$2.4 million), modernization of equipment and a landfill at the Governador Valadares plant (Minas Gerais) (US$0.8 million), modernization of equipment and energy savings at the Penha plant in Sao Paulo (US$1.6 million), and the introduction of a fire detection and fighting system and sludge composting at the Guaiba plant in Porto Alegre (Rio Grande do Sul). Preserving natural resources by encouraging the use of recyclable products: The project will consume more recycled paper, providing an economic value to waste paper that otherwise would have to be deposited in garbage landfills. It is estimated that approximately US$2.8 million in virgin cellulose will be saved annually thanks to the use of recycled paper in the production process. Fostering the transfer of new technology: The project will help Santher acquire new technology to support its product diversification generated from paper production. The productivity of its existing machines will also increase. Generating employment: The project will create 50 permanent jobs in addition to the temporary jobs demanded during project implementation. Encouraging the production and sale of high quality products at lower prices: Santher has penetrated the market with products whose quality is similar to that of the market leader, at lower prices. Purchasing power of consumers will increase. Facilitating access to long-term financing: The IIC is acting as a lender of last resort for long-term resources in an industry that requires continuous capital investments. Santher already has good access to short-term financing. Expanding sources of medium-term financing while reducing financial exposure: The IIC will take long-term exposure while bringing into the project participating banks for the medium term working capital loan. Thus, IIC would help Santher to develop its banking relationship with the B loan lenders, to widen Santher's sources of medium and long-term financing.

The significant increase in domestic demand, Colombia’s forthcoming interconnection with countries with a power generation deficit, and a relatively slow project implementation process show Colombia’s sound energy market fundamentals and encourage visionary investors such as Century Energy Corporation to invest in this sector in Colombia.

The market's rapid growth and the technological and space limitations of Aquamar's existing processing plant have made it necessary to build a new processing plant. The new plant, currently under construction near Guayaquil, will make it possible to have more efficient processing operations and to obtain higher value added products, with the resulting increase in earnings. Currently, only 30% of tilapia is used for fillet production, while the remaining 70% is sold to produce fishmeal at a very low margin. The new plant will make it possible to use part of this 70% to make shaped and breaded products (a new product line), which command higher sales margins.

The project is timely for its contribution to a leading operator in a key export sector (foreign revenues of US$900 million FOB-based in 1998). The expansion will allow ERSA to (i) increase reliance on its own raw shrimp supply; (ii) improve survival rates and achieve better quality control; and (iii) take advantage of economies of scale and vertical integration in the current business chain/structure by increasing capacity utilization of its hatcheries and processing and feedmill plants. The biosecurity component will allow the Company to (i) develop a breed for disease resistance in the larval rearing facilities; (ii) screen diseases with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology; and (iii) rehabilitate ponds thanks to the improvement of water quality through chlorination and recirculation. IIC will be assisting pioneering sponsors who have demonstrated resilience and a capacity to adapt to emerging problems and issues in the shrimp industry. The project's environmental upgrades and bio-security component will (i) have a demonstration effect on the overall direction of traditional shrimp farming in Ecuador and other Latin American countries on the Pacific coast; and (ii) complement sponsor's initiative in widening and disseminating a stock-resistant breed program as a key element in the strategic defense against shrimp viral disease.

The loan will also provide greater stability for Leonisa’s manufacturing and marketing activities. The company depends on a supply chain comprising twelve work cooperatives and over fifty small garment manufacturers, largely male and female microentrepreneurs, and accounting for approximately 2,500 direct and indirect jobs. Leonisa outsources a significant portion of its garment manufacturing. Three of the work cooperatives (Ecoelsa, Incomar, and Coopimar) were founded thanks to the Sponsors’ initiative and with Leonisa’s support. They are located near the city of Medellín in the towns of El Santuario and Marinilla. These towns, each with a population of approximately 25,000, have gone through periods of violence that generated insecurity and a lack of opportunities for young people, causing them to migrate to Medellín in poor living conditions. In spite of the insecurity in the region, these work cooperatives generated over 1,000 jobs, principally for women, who in many cases are heads of household or mothers. Also, women occupy all of the managerial positions in the cooperatives. The majority of the cooperatives’ workers are also members through an affiliation agreement; in turn, the cooperatives are responsible for fulfilling all labor requirements. Members receive benefits beyond those required by law: production incentives, bonuses, training, educational assistance, housing loans, and emergency assistance, among other benefits. The cooperatives have obtained ISO 9001:2000 certification and have the highest production standards of all of Leonisa’s garment manufacturers. In addition to being the main source of employment in their locations, the cooperatives offer the community important social services through artistic, cultural, sports, and recreational activities that take place on their premises. Facility maintenance, the quality and efficiency of the work carried out there, the care for the environment, and the respect for the social milieu all reflect the strong sense of ownership that the members have developed. The other garment manufacturers also comply with Leonisa’s requirements regarding environmental issues, safety, health, job security, and quality. In addition, Leonisa offers them training.With the experience gained through this operation, in the future the Corporation would be able to consider providing financing to this supply chain.

As a warehousing company it has very relevant role in the tortilla production chain because its logistics and infrastructure (buying, storage, grading, selling) allows for timely supply of raw material (corn) from the many, mostly small farmers to the producers of tortillas. The proposed project involves providing Almer with permanent working capital through the use of warehouse receivables as security in order to increase its purchase of white corn from most small farmers that is used in the production of tortillas (the "Project"). This will result in an overall increase in the efficiency in the tortilla production system. In addition, as part of the Project, the Company will increase its purchase of wheat and sorghum. The Company will be able to increase its purchase of grains from Mexican producers via repurchase agreements ("repos") to be financed with the Project¹s funds. The increase in permanent working capital will enable the Company to expand its operations, thereby increasing the utilization of its existing fixed assets without making significant investments. In addition, the Project supports the development of the Mexican capital market by creating the basis for the eventual securitization of the grain purchase instruments (warehousing receipts). The more immediate benefit will be to agricultural producers by giving them access to credit and to modern distribution systems and risk management instruments.

TRP’s core business is handling containers, although it also handles general cargo and vehicles and runs the only terminal at the Port of Buenos Aires for passenger vessels. TRP’s total quay line is 2,143 meters, with water depth of 9.8 meters, and a total landside area of 43.5 hectares.The project will help TRP finance its 2006-2007 investment program and refinance its existing debt. The investment program includes the purchase of one gantry crane, additional gantry cranes for the container yard, and other equipment; the relocation of an existing gantry crane from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2; the demolition of a warehouse in Terminal 3 to expand the container yard; and the installation of additional reefer plugs. The IIC will work with other multilateral organizations to provide TRP financing at terms not otherwise available in Argentina.TRP is the main terminal of the Port of Buenos Aires, handling 40% of all containers that pass through the port. Argentina’s economic recovery has led to a boom in port activity in recent years, and the Port of Buenos Aires will face serious limitations by 2009 if investments are not made to increase its capacity. The IIC will make a significant contribution by providing funding to prepare the port for the expansion project, increase port efficiency, and enable port authorities to meet the growing demand in the years to come. The benefits will be felt by Argentina, consumers, producers, and transport workers. Terminales Rio de la Plata S.A.

It handles the operations, business affairs, upgrading, and maintenance of six airports in northwestern Colombia, in the cities of Medellín, Rionegro, Quibdó, Montería, Carepa, and Corozal. The six airports are Olaya Herrera in Medellín, José María Córdova in Rionegro, El Caraño in Quibdó, Los Garzones in Montería, Antonio Roldán in Carepa, and Las Brujas in Corozal. In 2009, a total of 4.3 million passengers traveled through the six airports, which account for 17% of Colombia’s total air traffic. Of the six airports, the two main ones—those in Rionegro and Medellín—handle 83% of the passengers and service air traffic for the city of Medellín and surrounding areas, with a total population of over 3 million people. The other four airports are located in small and medium-size cities with populations that range between 40,000 and 400,000. The primary activities in these cities are fisheries, livestock, agribusiness, mining, and trade. Of the six airports under the concession agreement, Rionegro is the only international one. The project sponsors are Supertiendas y Droguerías Olímpica S.A., Portales Urbanos S.A., and Sociedad Colombiana de Inversiones Comerciales S.A., which focuses in the supermarket, real estate, and construction business; Fernando Mazuera y Cía. S.A., Malibú S.A., and Noarco S.A., which are construction companies; CAH de Colombia S.A., a subsidiary of Capital Airports Holding Company, China’s main airport group, with ample experience in operating airports of varying sizes; and two information technology companies, Información y Tecnología S.A., and Intelred. The estimated total investment during the term of the concession agreement is approximately US$180 million, for equipping and improving the terminal and ramps, as well as maintaining the runways. Of the total investment, approximately US$140 million will be used during the first five years of the concession agreement. The remaining US$40 million will be used for resurfacing the six runways twice, at 45% and 90% of expected income, respectively. With this operation, the IIC will be supporting the development and modernization of airport infrastructure in six Colombian cities, generating a significant economic impact, especially in the small and medium-size cities. It is also expected that the concession will improve passenger and cargo handling quality and efficiency. In addition, the Rionegro and Medellín airports will be operated in accordance with international standards and in keeping with IATA’s Class B, which is a positive feature for developing the national economy and the regional economy spanning Colombia’s northwestern departments.The proposed operation consists of a loan of up to US$15,000,000.

The project involves the construction of a plant with a nominal capacity of 390,000 tons per year (tpy) at a new manufacturing facility near the town of Hatillo in the Province of Azua, approximately 98 km southwest of Santo Domingo. The production process will consist of grinding imported clinker with small amounts (5%) of locally produced gypsum. The location of the plant has been selected because the land on which the plant will be installed includes a high quality limestone deposit, should it be feasible to produce clinker in the future. Additionally, the Old Port of Azua is 25 km from the plant, thus facilitating the import of clinker. Production of cement in a clinker mill involves grinding clinker with additives; and storing and bagging the finished product. The process produces dust that is mostly captured and recycled. The generation of fine particulates is inherent in all stages of the process. Gases such as nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulfur oxide (SOx) are formed from the combustion of fuel in the generation of power for the process. In the case of the Project, gas oil and fuel oils will be used as fuel. The SOx emissions are within local standards and modeling will be done to determine that they comply with international standards.

The Project started in mid-2001, when Subsole obtained short-term funds to finance plantings, primarily of table grapes, for suppliers, some of which partner with Subsole while others are just suppliers of the company. Subsole decided to finance these plantings to ensure the supply of certain minimum volumes of fruit for export. The Project will enable it to increase its export volumes to 5,400,000 fruit crates in 2006/2005, up from 2,894,000 crates in 2001/2000. The construction of the cold storage facilities and the air-conditioned packing centers will enable Subsole not only to reduce the cold-storage service charges it currently pays to third parties, but also to better control the quality and marketing timing of fruit.

The ALE project (the "Project") consists of expanding the company's fuel distribution network, which is composed of small and medium-size enterprises that operate gas stations. This expansion will be implemented by acquiring or building 310 environmentally audited gas stations in six different states: Minas Gerais, Goiás, Paraná, Espírito Santo, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. A significant portion of the project will take place in the interior of all these states, thus fostering the decentralization of economic activities in Brazil. The total cost of the Project, to be developed over three years, is approximately US$33.7 million. Once completed in 2004, the expansion project will have generated approximately 2,000 jobs. IIC funds will finance three key developmental components of the project. The first component is the US$2.8 million amount of the project cost associated with environmental protection. This amount covers (i) obtaining the environmental licenses for the new and existing gas stations, surveys and cleanup of potentially contaminated soil or ground water; and (ii) upgrading (i.e., replacement of old underground fuel tanks) of existing gas stations and improvements in leak detection, spill containment, and pollution prevention devices. Second, IIC financing will also be used for the expansion of ALE's network in the interior of Minas Gerais, Goiás, Espirito Santo, and Paraná, at a total cost of US$8.5 million. Eighty-five gas stations out of the total 310 will be added to ALE's network within the interior of these four states according to the following schedule: 36 new gas stations in 2002, 26 in 2003, and an additional 23 in 2004. Third, the IIC will lend up to US$800,000 to ALE for onlending to small and medium-size companies that will enter into contractual agreements with ALE to operate eligible gas stations. This innovative approach will benefit approximately forty new small or medium-size companies during a four-year period. The credit risk of US$800,000 will be borne by ALE.

Through its participation, the IIC will be complementing the foreign-currency debt financing the company has received from foreign lenders and the local-currency bond issue listed on the stock exchange, which have only partially covered the Company's requirements. Technological modernization: The project is intended to expand the company's production capacity through the installation and implementation of a cutting-edge production line able to produce 15-micron biaxially oriented polypropylene film (15 microns is the most advanced thickness). This line will enable Biofilm to remain one of the leading producers in the world market. Currency-generating industry: The bulk of the new production line's capacity will be used for export-oriented purposes, thereby increasing Colombian exports by up to some US$30 million per annum. Export diversification: Since Biofilm's products are raw materials for other industries, they are considered to be intermediate goods. This transaction will make it possible to increase supply and facilitate the export diversification of nontraditional products.

It is the port’s only container terminal. Since 1998 Terminal Patagonia has also been operating the port of San Antonio Este ("Puerto SAE") in Río Negro province under an exclusive thirty-year master concession agreement. The proposed IIC loan will be used as partial financing for purchasing machinery and for the infrastructure work needed to get the Terminal de Bahía Blanca concession up and running. The Company expects to make the investments between the third quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008.

The project consists of building and operating a factory for manufacturing ceramic goods, mainly ceramic roofing tiles, but also other products, such as wall blocks and extruded paving blocks. The plant will have a production capacity of 90 metric tons of clay products per day. Most of the project output will be sold in regional markets of Central America, the Caribbean, eastern United States and southern Mexico.2. The project is a joint venture between F.v. Mueller Roofing Tile, a German company; Dr. Elio Gerardi, a promoter of turnkey plants from Italy; and Mr. Andrés Ayau, promoter, ceramics producer and marketing and sales specialist. 3. The plant will be built on 10 hectares of land located in the town of La Fragua, department of Zacapa, in northeast Guatemala, about 140 kilometers from Guatemala City. The location was chosen because of its proximity to the clay deposits, the availability of labor, and access to Guatemala City, Honduras, El Salvador, and Puerto Barrios on the Atlantic. 4. Decentralization of economic activities: The plant will create jobs in the country’s small towns and in rural areas working the clay mines. Apart from the availability of labor, the site was chosen for its proximity to clay deposits and its nearness to Puerto Barrios, on the Atlantic, which will allow the company to export to the United States, Mexico and other Caribbean and Central American countries. There is also road access to Honduras and El Salvador from the plant site without having to pass through Guatemala City. 5. Regional expansion: Production will initially be aimed at Guatemala and Central America and later at the North American market, mainly the East Coast of the United States and southern Mexico. The location, capacity and quality of the Maceroti plant will, in fact, allow export of ceramic tiles and similar products to markets in the United States, Mexico and Caribbean nations. Maceroti is interested in and has plans to enter these markets. However, Maceroti’s emphasis in the early years of operations will be to sell in the markets of neighboring countries, such as Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua. 6. High-quality products at competitive prices: The price of substitute products is relatively higher, thereby creating a window of opportunity for the Maceroti products, given their high quality in terms of appearance, better insulation and durability. 1.

The plan’s main goal is to prepare Invertec Pesquera to double its 2006 salmon production volume from 2009 on.The proposed IIC loan will be used to finance certain investments in fixed assets and working capital that the Company plans to make during 2008. These investments will help Invertec Pesquera to continue to increase its production volume. In the salmon industry, this is key for reaching the necessary economies of scale that will enable the Company to weather the volatility that is characteristic of this sector. With this project, the IIC will also (i) continue to support one of Chile’s main foreign-currency generating industries; (ii) continue to support the development of a medium-size Chilean salmon company so that it maintains its competitive position in a sector dominated by large, foreign-owned companies; and (iii) decrease the concentration of salmon production in the Island of Chiloé by promoting the development of the salmon industry in Chile’s Region XI, where development and investment levels are low.

This enables them to reduce their financial deficits and finance works for the community. Also, communities thus acquire urban fixtures that are not only attractive but also have functional value for their inhabitants.

This requires building new fish ponds and increasing the processing and packaging capacity, as well as additional working capital. The project also envisages the construction of a new waste treatment plant that will enable the company to process solid fish scraps. Partial refinancing of the company's debt is also included, in order to release essential assets that will be required by the IIC as part of the security package. The fish farms currently cover a 16-hectare area and include ponds of different sizes, intended for various purposes (for example, hatcheries, reproduction ponds, grow-out ponds), in an intensive and fully-controlled tilapia farming process. The proposed project involves 60 additional hectares for 58 new ponds, a 5-hectare water reservoir and additional storage space for feed and other materials. IIC's participation has been crucial because we have assisted the company in structuring the project investments and the financial plan. Other investments that the company was considering were incorporated into an integral investment program like the one being proposed. The project includes the construction of a solid waste treatment plant to process fish scraps. This will have a positive environmental impact and will also be an example and a model for other fish farms to follow. At the company's request, IIC has invited another financial institution to participate in the project financing. By taking part in the project, IIC will support the Honduran tilapia export industry, because the company is the country's largest tilapia farming business. Moreover, Aqua Honduras is promoting and leading a market alliance (and a joint venture in some cases) with other tilapia farming businesses in Latin American countries such as El Salvador, Belize, Peru, and Panama. Tilapia farming is growing steadily and has considerable potential. The purpose of Aqua Honduras' expansion project is to increase the annual output of tilapia from 5,750 MT to 9,000 MT by around 2006. This requires building new fish ponds and increasing the processing and packaging capacity, as well as additional working capital. The project also envisages the construction of a new waste treatment plant that will enable the company to process solid fish scraps. Partial refinancing of the company's debt is also included, in order to release essential assets that will be required by the IIC as part of the security package. The fish farms currently cover a 16-hectare area and include ponds of different sizes, intended for various purposes (for example, hatcheries, reproduction ponds, grow-out ponds), in an intensive and fully-controlled tilapia farming process. The proposed project involves 60 additional hectares for 58 new ponds, a 5-hectare water reservoir and additional storage space for feed and other materials. IIC's participation has been crucial because we have assisted the company in structuring the project investments and the financial plan. Other investments that the company was considering were incorporated into an integral investment program like the one being proposed.

This will enable these two prestigious institutions to expand their professional training activities and will also help bring the Foundation's environmental management up to international standards. The IIC's role will cover the following areas: Long-term financing for a sound educational institution: Fepade's activities are expanding, as evidenced by its revenue growth ($2.3 million in 2001, up from $1.9 million in 1997). This clearly reflects Fepade's position in the local educational market, as well as its soundness, considering that lately the Salvadorian economy has faced a very difficult situation, with two earthquakes plus a drastic drop in the prices of its main export products (coffee and bananas). Education for all: Fepade's market niche is broad, given its variety of courses, seminars, and programs. While Fepade caters to the middle and working classes, Iseade trains and educates entrepreneurs. Thus, Fepade's educational services have a significant economic impact in El Salvador, starting with workers and going all the way up the corporate ladder. To date, Fepade and Iseade have trained more than 70,000 individuals. Tailor-made education: In 1986, a group of national and international entrepreneurs from 47 enterprises, banks, and foundations in El Salvador created Fepade to support the Government's efforts in the education sector and provide training for their staff. So far, dozens of small, medium-size, and large financial and nonfinancial enterprises have become Fepade's customers. In 2001, 91% of the total number of class-hours was for tailor-made educational services (e.g., accounting and finance, quality control, management, and human resources seminars). An institution that supports the Government's efforts in the educational area: In 1993, the Government of El Salvador created the Instituto Salvadoreño para la Formación Profesional (INSAFORP), an institution tasked with organizing and coordinating professional training courses and seminars all over the country. Fepade is one of the educational institutions that, through INSAFORP, participate in the training of Salvadoran workers. Strengthening a high-quality educational program: In late 1980, Fepade decided to create and sponsor an institution for graduate studies in business administration. After researching and studying several executive master's programs, it decided to create the Universidad Superior de Economía y Administración de Empresas (USEADE), which in 1997 became Iseade in order to meet Salvadoran legal requirements. Four hundred twenty students have graduated from this school since its inception. Currently, Iseade has several exchange agreements with foreign universities such as Florida International University (U.S.), Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico), and Universidad Anáhuac (Mexico). Strategic protection of the institution's financial foundations: On 14 March 1994, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) initiated a program with Fepade under which each institution would contribute US$1 million for the creation of an endowment fund. The endowment fund was intended to provide, long-term, the resources needed for Fepade's self support. The goals originally established for this program were amply met: currently, the balance in the endowment fund is US$12.3 million. The IIC's financing will enable Fepade to avoid tapping the endowment fund's resources to finance the construction of its educational campus, thereby maintaining its sound financial position. The project is intended to solve Fepade's and Iseade's current infrastructure problems by building a campus in the outskirts of San Salvador. This will enable these two prestigious institutions to expand their professional training activities and will also help bring the Foundation's environmental management up to international standards.

In 2001, 91% of the total number of class-hours was for tailor-made educational services (e.g., accounting and finance, quality control, management, and human resources seminars). An institution that supports the Government's efforts in the educational area: In 1993, the Government of El Salvador created the Instituto Salvadoreño para la Formación Profesional (INSAFORP), an institution tasked with organizing and coordinating professional training courses and seminars all over the country. Fepade is one of the educational institutions that, through INSAFORP, participate in the training of Salvadoran workers. Strengthening a high-quality educational program: In late 1980, Fepade decided to create and sponsor an institution for graduate studies in business administration. After researching and studying several executive master's programs, it decided to create the Universidad Superior de Economía y Administración de Empresas (USEADE), which in 1997 became Iseade in order to meet Salvadoran legal requirements. Four hundred twenty students have graduated from this school since its inception. Currently, Iseade has several exchange agreements with foreign universities such as Florida International University (U.S.), Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico), and Universidad Anáhuac (Mexico). Strategic protection of the institution's financial foundations: On 14 March 1994, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) initiated a program with Fepade under which each institution would contribute US$1 million for the creation of an endowment fund. The endowment fund was intended to provide, long-term, the resources needed for Fepade's self support. The goals originally established for this program were amply met: currently, the balance in the endowment fund is US$12.3 million. The IIC's financing will enable Fepade to avoid tapping the endowment fund's resources to finance the construction of its educational campus, thereby maintaining its sound financial position.

The purpose of the project is to increase Pesquera's production capacity and further improve technology, marketing, and environmental management in order to attain a leading position and to be able to remain competitive in a global market. The project will result in an increase in capacity of salmon farming from 20,000 tons per year in 2001 to an estimated 35,000 tons per year in 2005. IIC's participation is important for the reasons set out below. Furthering the competitiveness of a Latin American company: The salmon sector is rapidly changing, requiring companies to grow to remain competitive worldwide. The project will help to maintain the competitiveness of Pesquera, one of Chile's leading companies in the sector. If this financing does not take place, a Latin American company that has proved to have the conditions to be a leading company in the global market will probably never reach its potential. Strengthening a strategic sector in Chile: With the project the IIC will be financing a very important sector for Chile's economy. Because of its comparative advantages, Chile has the conditions to become the world's largest salmon producer by the end of the decade provided the country has access to adequate financing. Providing adequate long-term financing: Pesquera, unlike companies in industrialized countries, doesn't have access to adequate sources of funds. Consequently, it would not be able to implement the project without IIC long-term financing. IIC's financing will allow the Company to expand. IIC's participation is also considered very important for the credibility it gives to the Company when listed. Catalytic effect and leverage: IIC's co-financing program will allow the Company to access financing from international banks. The financial plan calls for $2.25 from international banks for each dollar to be financed by the IIC. Diversifying exports: Chile traditionally has relied heavily on the export of mining products. In the last two decades, the country has been working on diversifying its exports. This project will have a major impact on this diversification effort, as it will increase the export of a non-mining product. Promoting good corporate governance practices: The IIC will be supporting a company which has adopted sound corporate governance practices and the Invertec group a socially-conscious corporate citizen with many community-oriented projects. Decentralizing job creation: The project will create new direct and indirect jobs mainly in the remote region of Chile where the Company is located. Improving technology: A component of the financing will be used for the company to develop its scientific and technological expertise.

It provides basic financial services to under-banked, lower-income Brazilian workers as well as pensioners, and makes working capital financing available to commercial establishments that sell basic necessities to these types of consumers. The payroll card business in Brazil effectively acts as a mechanism for interest-free wage advances to lower-income workers in Brazil, who otherwise might not have any other form of contact with financial sector services and entities.Approximately 250,000 employees at 3,000 companies that are currently part of the Unik network have activated Unik payroll cards, which can be used to make purchases at approximately 16,000 commercial establishments that are now affiliated with Unik and linked to its IT systems. Commercial establishments affiliated with Unik tend mostly to be local food stores and pharmacies, given the fact that a relatively high proportion of spending by lower-income workers is allocated towards food and health-related expenditures (as opposed to bigger ticket, consumer finance items). Employees can make purchases at commercial establishments that are part of the Unik network up to a R$150 per month limit, as long as this amount is less than one third of the relevant individual’s current, unpaid monthly salary. After purchases are made by payroll cardholders, the relevant commercial establishment receives (via the Unik network) a cash payment from employers (for goods and services sold to employees). Thus, Unik effectively performs a billing function between its affiliated commercial establishments on the one hand, and employers on the other hand, thereby taking the settlement/credit risk of employers in its network when it assumes the obligation to pay commercial establishments for goods and services purchased by employees using its payroll cards.The project has two main developmental impacts. First, it increases the access of large numbers of un-banked, lower-income Brazilians to basic credit resources and financial services (Unik has a relevant presence in the Brazilian Northeast). Second, it makes more working capital resources available to large numbers of commercial establishments who sell basic necessities to lower-income Brazilians.Unik’s largest shareholder is the Rio Bravo Group, a leading Brazilian fund management firm. Other shareholders include senior management of the firm, as well as the Santa Cruz Group, one of the biggest wholesalers of medication and personal care products in Brazil.
