What is our funding objective?
100% of the USD 60mln syndicated facility will be used for 'green' financing projects. The majority of the funds will be allocated to renewable energy projects (solar, wind, hydro, biomass). In addition, funds can be used to finance energy efficiency projects, i.e. through building upgrades, replacements of equipment, lighting etc.
Why do we fund this investment?
With this transaction we contribute to lower CO2 emissions, cleaner energy and energy savings. In addition, we are catalyzing USD 30mln from the Global Climate Partnership Fund, the B-lender in this facility. Last but not least, we are deepening our relationship with Banco Davivienda, with the aim of building a regional partnership for sustainable finance in Central America.
