Credit Suisse Mexico Credit Opportunities Trust II

active

This project involves IFC’s participation in Credit Suisse Mexico Credit Opportunities Trust II (“CS Trust II”) certificates, a US$750 million MXN Pesos equivalent Certificado de Capital de Desarrollo (“CKD”) to be structured and managed by Banco Credit Suisse (Mexico), S.A. (“BCSM” or the “Manager”). This is the second IFC’s investment in a CKD in Mexico, after Credit Suisse Mexico Credit Opportunities Trust I (“CS Trust I”).CS Trust II is meant to direct the mobilized funds to mid-sized enterprises with limited access to financing. Funding is one of the major obstacles for small and mid-sized firms to grow. As a result, there is a largely unmet demand for long-term credit from mid-sized companies in Mexico as confirmed by the demand for CS Trust I financing.
